Some people confuse being dependent with depending on a partner or a good friend. You are dependent on a person if you feel that you need her/him so much
that you put that person's feelings before yours, you can't enjoy activities without her/him, or you avoid conflict so that you won't upset her/him.
You are so afraid of losing this person that you don't stand up for yourself, even if you are right.
