There are people out there who expect you to run to them for validation and approval. They want you to consult them on almost everything. This, according to them, is what gives them purpose.
They want you to constantly shower them with praises and chase after them. And if you don’t do any of these things, they get offended!
Of course, this isn’t the behavior of everyone, just the arrogant ones who think they’re more important than you and everyone else.
They don’t want you to operate independently. Because when you do that, they’re no longer your owner - at least in their eyes. They think, “who the hell does he or she think they are not coming to me to approve their plan?”
These types of people have a superiority complex. God forbid your plan fails, they’ll harshly criticize you as if to say, “see! This is what happens when you don’t come to me for advice, you moron!”
It’s important to remain independent and learn from your mistakes as you go. Depending on others keeps you on crutches all your life. When you sense bitterness from these types of individuals, it’s a good idea to move on from them because they’ll always see you as beneath them.
