Question: Can you describe situations where you felt a strong need to prevent someone from leaving you, either physically or emotionally? Have you felt this need often?
Answer: Yes. I had 2 good friends one at school and one at college . I had a really good bond with them and they were really good friends of mine. But ultimately both did the same thing. So the first friend and I really wanted to get admitted to a reputed college. So I cleared the admission test and he couldn’t, so he stopped talking to me and I really didn’t want that. I tried to reach out to him but he totally ignored me. And the second friend was like my best friend. Both of us were medical aspirants. But when I cleared the admission test he stopped talking. I tried several times to reach out to him but he never wanted to talk .
