Need

If the only way you can keep someone around or in proximity to you is by eliciting fear, desperation, anxiety, etc. or triggering a sense of failure and dependency when they are without you, I’d say you’re dealing with a deflated sense of self and eroded self-esteem.  I’d argue you’re in need of them more than they’re in need of you.  Forget them.  Any energy you’re putting into nurturing their dependency on you might be best put into addressing your own challenges.  Because your challenges will be fast-growing.  A little uncontrollable, if you will.  And this isn’t a problem for the people you aim to control, this is a problem that will present itself most to you.  For your sake, forget them.  You have other business to handle.
