Dependent LSI-1 Style.
The Dependent scale measures the degree to which we feel our efforts do not count. Dependent behaviour originates in a need for security and self-protection; dependent people typically feel that they have very little control over their lives.
In general, this style is characterized by:
An over-concern with pleasing people, and not questioning others or taking independent action
A passive attitude
Feelings of helplessness
The presence of rapid change or traumatic set-backs in one's life
A tendency to be easily influenced
A lack of self-respect, which results in feeling unable to accomplish things
Difficulty making decisions
The more these statements describe you, the more Dependent you are:
Feel dependent upon others for direction
Believe that your effort doesn't count for very much
Feel helpless and weak
Easily threatened and intimidated
Cannot say "no" to others
Always do what is expected
Feel that others are responsible for your happiness.

May. 16th, 2007 07:46 amNot quite Five Things, but rather, Thirteen Symptoms. Robert Chase, the child of an alcoholic mother and some would say dysfunctional father, quite often (more than not) falls prey to the following symptoms, as an Adult Child of an Alcoholic.
**
1. Adult children of alcoholics guess at what normal behavior is.
2. Adult children of alcoholics have difficulty following a project through from beginning to end.
3. Adult children of alcoholics lie when it would be just as easy to tell the truth.
4. Adult children of alcoholics judge themselves without mercy.
5. Adult children of alcoholics have difficulty having fun.
6. Adult children of alcoholics take themselves very seriously.
7. Adult children of alcoholics have difficulty with intimate relationships.
8. Adult children of alcoholics overreact to changes over which they have no control.
9. Adult children of alcoholics constantly seek approval and affirmation.
10. Adult children of alcoholics usually feel that they are different from other people.
11. Adult children of alcoholics are super responsible or super irresponsible.
12. Adult children of alcoholics are extremely loyal, even in the face of evidence that the loyalty is undeserved.
13. Adult children of alcoholics are impulsive. They tend to lock themselves into a course of action without giving serious consideration to alternative behaviors or possible consequences. This impulsively leads to confusion, self-loathing and loss of control over their environment. In addition, they spend an excessive amount of energy cleaning up the mess.

Jan. 22nd, 2006 08:49 pmA Different Sort of Five Things
A Brief History of Robert Chase's Island Life
1. Robert Chase loves Anna. Robert Chase loves Sirius. Robert Chase loves Jay.
2. Were it not for the pregnancy, Chase would still be with Anna and Sirius. This is the focal point of it all. He will and would always feel as though he were a third wheel. He believes there can only be two parents to a child and he would be relegated to the side, whether in present or in future. He knows he is the odd man out because Sirius is willing to be the father of the child. He feels he has no place. This will not change.
3. He's loved Jay a lot longer than he's let on, simply by the fact that Jay was the only person that he allowed inside his walls. He'd previously thought Jay was very much straight, so the love was very much 'as a best friend', but since the first-kiss onwards, he's allowed himself to slowly open up to it in all its' other variations.
4. While Chase loves Sirius, he knows it would be very unhealthy to be with him. Only now is he realizing that the broken nose was a sign, that Regulus words were warning, and that he should have been more wary about getting into anything. By extension, he also feels as though Anna and Sirius will never know him the way they know each other.
5. Chase does not do well in multiple relationships. He would have become possessive or jealous of one or the other.

Jan. 13th, 2006 03:17 pmFive Things About Dr. Robert Chase
One. He spends every other day working an eight-hour shift in the clinic for the sake of normalcy. Even if he's just sitting there and doing crossword puzzles, it reminds him of back at PPTH and he does it out of habit, routine, and something to do.
Two. On any given day, he will be thinking about his father's death and preventing it, thinking of ways he could have done something differently with Anna & Sirius, wondering how he can help House, and is thinking about Jay more constantly now.
Two and a Half. Of all the people on the island, moreso than anyone else, he would do anything for Jay. Partly because of their new relationship, but mainly because since Chase patched him up when he was bleeding to death, he attached his success and a lot of his personal worth onto Jay. That said, he will do anything to keep Jay safe.
Three. He would also do anything for House, Wilson, and Cameron because he loves his job and the people he works with are a great deal to that. He does not love his profession.
Four. He still hasn't regained his faith in God. He wants to go back badly and wishes for nothing more than that, but he continues failing that test.
Five. He is still on the ball, medically-wise and is an intensivist. If you're dying, bleeding-out, or in bad shape, he's the one who'd take care of you. He wishes he had more equipment, but he's surviving.
