We may become excessively worried about, and preoccupied with, a problem or person (our mental energy is attached). Or, we may graduate to becoming obsessed with and controlling of the people and problems in our environment (our mental, physical, and emotional energy is directed at the object of our obsession). We may become reactionaries, instead of acting authentically of our own volition (our mental, emotional, and physical energy is attached). We may become emotionally dependent on the people around us
