Personality Disorder (Dependent PD)


Does this dress make me look fat? Where should we eat dinner? I don’t have a preference. Can I have whatever you’re having? Please don’t ever leave me. I don’t know what to do. Let me hide in your shadow. I’ll do whatever you say. Can I have a hug? What about a kiss? Please don’t reject me. Can we hold hands? Is that too much? I need you dearly. Let’s just hold hands. I’ll do whatever you say. Do you think about me often? Is your shirt ironed the way you like it? Hey! Can we get married tomorrow? Am I upsetting you? What do you think of me? I want you to want me. I’ll do whatever you say. I need you. Without you, I cannot live. I’m not smart enough to make decisions on my own. My mother told me that. She showed me that. Mother told me her mother told her the same. Doesn’t everyone hate being alone?
