How do I move from this? I know that I have made progress and suspect it is a time, self awareness thing. Not necessarily in detaching from H, but the requirement to seek external validation at these points.

I am this way also, I feel like it fits hand in hand with fear of being alone. I need to get to where I can be OK without someone else giving me reassurance or more me looking for reassurance.
