The insight highlights that individuals often seek to fill the emotional voids from their childhood throughout their lives. This desire for emotional fulfillment stems from the lack of emotional support received in childhood, leading to a perpetual search for it. The yearning for emotional support can manifest in seeking validation from others or looking for guidance to fill the void left unattended. However, the fulfillment obtained is short-lived, akin to a temporary high, which perpetuates the cycle of seeking emotional reassurance repeatedly. The ultimate solution proposed is to shift from seeking emotional support externally to providing it internally by becoming the desired emotional figure oneself, thereby breaking the cycle of dependency and finding long-lasting emotional fulfillment from within.
