Answer:

dependent      

Explanation:

In abnormal psychology, "dependent personality disorder" is also denoted as DPD, and is described as an "anxious personality disorder" which is distinguished as an individual's incapability of being alone. An individual who is experiencing DPD can develop symptoms associated with anxiety if he or she isn't around someone else. The person is generally considered as dependent on the other person for support, comfort, advice, and reassurance.
