One of the most pervasive characteristics of dependence is that it alters our normal functioning in important ways. Dependence creates feelings of insecurity, dependency, and insecurity. It limits our ability to cope with stress, feel autonomous, and make our own decisions. Dependence also diminishes our sense of self-efficacy, our sense of mastery and control over our lives.
