Heather is indicated for those who are preoccupied with their own situation or ailments and are unable to enter into genuine two way communication with others. They drive others away by their extreme neediness. They exaggerate their symptoms, or make mountains out of molehills. They are compulsive talkers, needing an audience and will buttonhole people in order to talk in lengthy detail about themselves. They tend to speak rapidly, close into the listener’s face.

They dislike being alone but fail to realize that they are often avoided because they sap other people’s vitality and show no interest in other people’s problems.
