Dependent Personality Disorder
(DPD) is associated with various behaviour issues that stem from an
excessive need for reassurance and support from others. Here are some common
behaviour issues observed in individuals with DPD:
Submissive Behaviour: Individuals
with DPD often exhibit overly submissive behaviour, deferring to others in
decision-making and going to great lengths to avoid conflict or disagreement.
Clinginess: They may display
clingy behaviour, seeking constant reassurance and approval from others to feel
secure and valued in relationships.
Difficulty Making Decisions:
Individuals with DPD often struggle to make decisions independently, relying
heavily on others for guidance and validation.
Avoidance of Independence: Due to
a fear of abandonment or rejection, they may avoid situations that require them
to be independent or self-reliant, preferring to stay in dependent
relationships.
Lack of Assertiveness:
Individuals with DPD may have difficulty asserting their own needs, opinions,
and boundaries in social interactions, leading to passive behaviour and a
tendency to be easily influenced by others.
Tolerance of Mistreatment: In
their efforts to maintain relationships, individuals with DPD may tolerate
mistreatment or neglect from others, even if it compromises their well-being.
Difficulty Ending Relationships:
They may stay in unhealthy or abusive relationships out of fear of being alone
or abandoned, despite recognizing the negative impact on their mental health.
Addressing these behaviour issues
typically involves therapy aimed at building self-esteem, assertiveness
training, and developing healthy coping mechanisms to reduce dependence on
others.
