Picture of Natrum Causticum
Essence: Abused due to their impulsive behaviour.
Abused because of their own impulsive behaviour
They have a strong tendency to make contact with others on a sudden impulse. It is their need to be appreciated that makes them do this, but they don't stop to think beforehand whether the other person is suitable, or whether he even wants this. This leads to situations where they get abused because of their own naive behaviour.
Indignant about being left alone
They are extremely sensitive to both rejection and lack of appreciation. Indignant at slightest hint of rejection. Want to feel appreciated even in the most everyday conversation and when the other person doesn't make a special effort to say how much he values them they immediately feel hurt. So they're bound to get disappointed many times - esp in the beginning of relationships when appreciation hasn't had a chance to develop yet. As soon as they feel rejected they give up on relationship altogether.
