- Abstract:
The article explains the implication of a low-maintenance behavior in a relationship. Topics discussed include the tendency of people with a low-maintenance behavior as shown in their refusal to request the affection they need to reject and repress themselves, the origin of learning to hide parts of the self considered as overwhelming for others in childhood experiences, and steps to be taken to improve such behavior such as identifying emotional needs.
