what is external dependency

External dependency is being dependant on an external object or a person in order to feel good or escape a bad mood. That does mean that a person who suffers from external dependency have got problems with his own internal feelings, he feels bad and irritated on being alone and so the only solution available for him is to escape to an external object to regulate this bad mood.

examples of external dependency

External dependency may be in the form of drug intake where the person depends drugs in order to escape a bad mood that he can’t handle. External dependency can also be in the form of smoking cigarettes to reduce stress(this is just a false idea, smoking increases stress levels) and even over eating to forget about problems.

external dependency and love addiction

In my book How to get over anyone in few days i described how love addiction can be the main reason people fail to recover fast after a breakup. External dependency could also expand to include people, in this case the dependency is on a person or a partner whom you can’t live without (or at least you do think so). Having this person in your life makes it bright while losing him brings you unlimited pain.

One of the most dangerous cases of external dependency is love addiction, where the person becomes Dependant on the state of love in order to feel good. In that case the person always feels bad except if he was involved in a love relationship. he just doesn't' feel good when being alone and so he escapes to love, just to escape and not because he loves the other person.
