👉 Overprotection is a concept in psychology and sociology that refers to a situation where an individual's protective behavior becomes excessively protective, often leading to feelings of anxiety or fear. This can manifest in various ways, such as excessive concern for safety, avoidance of situations that could cause harm, or a heightened sense of security and comfort. Overprotection is often associated with the belief that one has some sort of control over one's environment, which can lead to a sense of insecurity and helplessness.
