“Because they鈥檙e so attuned to feelings, internalizers are extremely sensitive to the quality of emotional intimacy in their relationships. Their entire personality longs for emotional spontaneity and intimacy, and they can鈥檛 be satisfied with less. Therefore, when they鈥檙e raised by immature and emotionally phobic parents, they feel painfully lonely. If there鈥檚 anything internalizers have in common, it鈥檚 their need to share their inner experience. As children, their need for genuine emotional connection is the central fact of their existence.

Nevertheless, these children come to believe that the price of making a connection is to put other people first and treat them as more important. They think they can keep relationships by being the giver. Children who try to be good enough to win their parents鈥� love have no way of knowing that unconditional love cannot be bought with conditional behavior.”
