Narcissus: the urge to merge

The sole survivor of a monozygotic twin may seek to merge with other people, for that is their model of relationship. Bee says she has always wanted someone totally merged with her, but that degree of merging just doesn't happen in born life, naturally enough. To keep the Dream alive, all relationships go through a cycle:
  1. Encounter
  2. Rapid development of intimacy
  3. Desire for constant contact, 24/7
  4. Over - dependent and demanding behavior intrudes into the other person's private space,
  5. The other person is soon drained of empathy and energy and cannot maintain the relationship any longer.
  6. The other person asks for a complete separation
  7. The relationship ends permanently
