Jealousy

Always needing the opinions of others to make a decision

Trying to control close people
Do not take close people for granted and expect them to love you and listen to you regardless. You should also not expect them to be at your beck and call as this will only distance you instead. We all have our own desires and they may not always match with yours. Remember, treat those who love you like people and not your maid or manservants. If someone close to you can’t help you, it’s most probably because of a reason so try doing it yourself for a change.
