Child knows perfectly well how to manipulate others into taking care of all his/her needs. Child’s perfect partner is a deeply insecure person who needs to play the savior to feel at least marginally better about him/herself. Child’s helplessness is completely fake. S/he zeroes in on the most self-hating person in any group like a killer drone and attaches him/herself to such a person to leech off this wounded creature in perpetuity.
Child and Insecure can make a perfectly happy couple that will be unbreakable as long as Insecure remains insecure.

Pretty tough post. You, most likely, talk from having seen that happening. I haven’t and it is heart-breaking to think that such an interaction can happen in real life. Thank you for your insight.

Of course, I have seen this type of relationship. I wouldn’t invent these things.

Yes, but what is missing is that child may reproduce this insecurity behaviour. Children may manipulate insecure or self-hating persons but in their turn they become dependent of such “love.”

Random “suggestion” that could feel free to ignore! 🙂 It would be kind of neat if you could group all the “typology of love” posts into one category and perhaps bookmark it. That way someone could see all the types you identify at once. I always find myself searching through old posts to remind myself of your “types.” I think these are fun to read. 🙂

This works so long as Child makes Insecure feel good about him/herself. If Child is overly demanding, then Insecure feels even worse and the entire bargain collapses.

Ouch. Painfully spot-on. I always tend to discard anyone who isn’t insecure in some way.
