Possibly, these are people who emotionally got stuck in the quest to fullfill their deficiency needs.

They do crave having a sense of belonging, acceptance of who they are and to get respect and recognition, but there is some kind of instant loop that often shuts the door to it the moment it opens because then their lack of safety and personal security kicks in. Something like that.

This was a thought that went through my mind last night.

I’ll need to toss this around a little more.
