dependent

What we all are at least some point in our lives. Especially during infancy.
Society pressures people to be as independent as possible when in reality, it's sometimes good to ask for help when you really need it.

Dependent

YES! OK! Now we're getting somewhere!
Hym "Yes! So the validity of a set of propositions is dependent on the underlying ideas... So, at the core of the of the Abrahamic religions... The underlying idea... That determines the validity of the subsequent ideas... Is the claim that the creature of the universe spoke to the Jews. And that didn't happen. Which is what the question "Do you believe in God?" Is pertinent. So, God didn't say anything to Moses. What you have here is a psychopathic narcissist gloming on to a preexisting religion (following in the footsteps of the original psychopathic narcissist) and trying to morph the religion to his own ends so he can maintain the moral authority that the religion allows him to claim. That's what Jordan Peterson is doing. The validity of everything he says, hinges on a truth claim he does not believe. The thing you said (Jordan), IS NOT GOD. That you. You are not God. You don't even believe that there is one. You are a charlatan. It's not that deep."

dependent variable

In science, the dependent variable is your result from your independent variable.
Jack is conducting a science experiment. He is growing a rose plant, a marigold plant, and a sunflower plant to see which can grow the tallest. He gives all three plants the same amount of sunlight and water. His dependent variable would be how tall each plant grows because it is the result of his experiment.

Co-dependent

Often describing someone who finds all their value as a human being in having a romantic relationship. If they are single, they feel like a total failure and therefore will put up with all kinds of possessive, unhealthy Mr/Ms. Wrongs to bolster their own self worth.

Often seen in high school sweethearts who date all the way through college and into mid-20s. Even though annoyed and bored with each other, they still refuse to break up because they can't stand being single.
Debbie said she always knew Jason wasn't 'the one', but still dated him for 7 years. She's as co-dependent as a barnacle.
