Did your pwbp always seem unhappy and needed to stick to you constantly

By this I mean whether it was friends or romantic, did they just always be obsessed with saying they were down and it was either you or someone else that had to make them feel whole because they were living through you and your personality? It was like a 24/7 job to always be there for her emotions, it was exhausting, also it felt like I was her dad sometimes since she didn't have a good upbringing.

Another example is my friend had an expwbpd who is now with another guy, and he said it looks again how she was always focused to try be happy as a goal and now she is just living through her new mans personality,

It's very weird because most people are ok being themselves, so do you notice their behaviours and patterns in this? I certainly can now after what I learned from my one discarding me
