Psychological dependence caused by improper education

Being comforted spiritually gives people a wonderful feeling, because humanization always has its weaknesses, such as fear of responsibility, willingness to be protected, covetousness, etc. When people are incompetent and vulnerable, they need an "authority" to solve problems in their lives, to plan for them, and to be responsible for possible consequences. This is very prominent in children. Children are weak and they need the protection and guidance of parents and teachers. In the eyes of children, parents, especially teachers, are very important figures, and their criticism and praise are of vital importance. Children do certain things in order to get the praise of teachers and parents. This is an opportunity to educate and train children, and it is an inevitable process of one's socialization. What we want to remind is that in the process of educating children, don't forget the cultivation of independence. Blindly educating children to be obedient and learn well will inhibit the valuable quality of independence. Children's acceptance and praise of others in life is better than self-independence; in the interaction between people, there is a master-slave relationship and a dependency relationship.

Some people have a heavier inferiority complex and consider themselves inferior to others, such as lack of knowledge, incompetence, and stupidity. Therefore, in dealing with people unconsciously put yourself in a supporting position, willingly accept the domination of others. Of course, you also get some benefits in dependence. For example, you are no longer lonely, you feel that you have a "backer", and you are praised for some of your behaviors (to cater to others). These are very attractive to inferior people. The price is the loss of self-independence and the internal contradictions and pain caused by inflexion.
