Do I Have Dependent Personality Disorder?

I have cognition problems (difficulty perceiving myself, other people, and events; difficulty remembering; difficulty retaining information, etc.)

I have affectivity problems (difficulty controlling the range and intensity of my emotional responses; obsessive thoughts; restless thoughts; difficulty concentrating, etc.)

I have problems with interpersonal functioning (difficulty being aware of my own actions and feelings and how they affect others; self-awareness; social cues, etc.)

I have difficulty controlling my impulses.

I have difficulty making decisions without first getting advice from others.

I prefer for others to take responsibility in major areas of my life.

I have difficulty expressing disagreement with others because I fear loss of their support or approval. (Does not include fears such as loss of a job or an abusive relationship.)

I have difficulty starting projects or doing things on my own, mostly because of a lack of self-confidence rather than a lack of energy.

I go to excessive lengths in order to get support from others, to the point of putting myself in unpleasant or uncomfortable situations.

I feel incredibly helpless when I’m alone because of fears I have that I can’t take care of myself.

I urgently seek out new relationships as soon as a relationships ends, as I tend to see relationships as a source of care and support.

I am intensely preoccupied with fears of being left to take care of myself.
