Codependent Patterns
Most of my relationships have been based around codependency and I am realizing that I need to break this pattern because it doesn’t give me or the other person the freedom to be ourselves, and truly love and accept one another without having any sort of strings attached.
Codependency in Relationships
To me, codependency is a symptom of an identity crisis. It’s a reliance upon someone else for emotional health, self-worth, and values. It’s a dependence upon someone else to feel comforted and loved. Ultimately, it’s an attempt to fill a void that should be filled with purpose, self-esteem, worthiness, and dignity.
My Struggle With Codependency
All my life I’ve been searching for acceptance and trying to avoid rejection at all costs, even if it meant doing the wrong things to make others like me. I can be a very 2- 3- 4-faced type of person when I’m unhealthy.
