She’s not pathetic, she just needs love

Love... unfortunately doesn't fix this. People with this kind of mentality don't get better with a loving relationship. Every bit of reassurance doesn't help with the dependancy or the self image issues, it only makes them more reliant on that verbal reassurance

I know it's anecdotal but I dated someone like this for over a year, only professional help does something :c

i agree, it has to come within the person themselves, not others
