For people who can be most truly loving but when in a negative state become possessive, their egotism, self-pity/self-love makes them over-concerned about their relationship to others. They can become critical, fussy, bossy, correcting, toxic with mental/emotional poisons, seek attention, tearful and thwarted, dislike being alone and need to have their loved ones near in order to control and direct their activity. Recognisable as 'mothering type' though prevalent in children who demand attention. The positive form of Chicory is expression of care and love for all life; receptive, generous, forgiving, devoted.
