“Emotional dependence is the opposite of emotional strength. It means needing to have others to survive, wanting others to "do it for us," and depending on others to give us our self-image, make our decisions, and take care of us financially. When we are emotionally dependent, we look to others for our happiness, our concept of "self," and our emotional well-being. Such vulnerability necessitates a search for and dependence on outer support for a sense of our own worth.” GivingWellsLooksMeanSelfCareDecisionSupportEmotionalConceptsOppositesTake CareWell BeingVulnerabilityBeing YourselfDependentDependenceEmotional StrengthEmotional Well BeingDepending On Others Author:Sue Thoele

“Someone in the society has to deal with the reality that there are finite resources and we're making trade-offs, and be explicit about that. When the car companies were found to have a memo that actually said, "This safety feature costs X and saved Y lives," the very existence of that memo was considered damning.
