Language that Creates Dependency and Power Struggles

There's language I have been vaguely aware of that creates a kind of dependency on others for our happiness, rather than partaking in the happiness and joy that is already present... There's a dark side to getting complimented, because it builds up a hungry image... an image that will need constant attention... an image that will need constant defense... and image that will need constant building... often relying on others in a very dependent manner.

Words carry so much hidden meaning and power, and it's important we recognize the dynamics created by the use of various words.
