Introduction
“Cluster C(which includes anxious-avoidant, dependent and obsessive–compulsive) disorders are among the most prevalent personality disorders in the general population”(Lenzenweger et al., 1997; Samuels et al., 2002; Crawford et al., 2005; Lenzenweger et al., 2007)

Every day, either in person or through social networks such as facebook, we see and hear about people who are too clingy in relationship, people who are reluctant in making decisions because they care too much about what people around them would think about them, and people who get depressed while trying to please everyone except themselves.
Dependent personality disorder (DPD) is a personality disorder that is commonly identified similar to borderline personality disorder. People who suffer from DPD are submissive and prioritize others’ opinions over their own. They live under the fear of abandonment and separation from others.
