Dependent regression
A state of low independence, whether perma, semi perma, or of any other way. A general design inclusive to anyone who struggles to be independent in whatever way that means to the user.

A specific type of dependent regression highlighting low emotional independence; relying heavily on others to regulate your emotions, self worth and decisions.
Examples include avoiding tasks in fear of being invalidated, asking for consistent reassurance, being incredibly indecisive⌠etc. This can otherwise be used to the interpretation of the user.
Functional Dependence regression
