It can be difficult to express your needs for nurture. You may feel left to your own resources when it comes to home, family, and emotional care. There is a strong tendency to dwell on old hurts, which can adversely affect health. You feel uncomfortable in the role of being cared for, creating a self-fulfilling cycle of emotional isolation.
