Preferred term

reassurance seeking  

Definition(s)

  • Reassurance seeking is the act of going to others to request assurance that one is lovable, worthy, or in other ways adequate. Unlike support seeking, which is a normative and often formative component of interpersonal relationships, reassurance seeking is generally construed as maladaptive, especially when exercised in excess. [Source: Encyclopedia of Human Relationships; Reassurance Seeking]
