Visit Lisa's website here to take her codependency quiz and to join her free newsletter: https://www.lisaaromano.com Codependency in relationships destroys love. When you are codependent, you seek approval and love others, hoping to be loved in return.
On the surface, this sounds appropriate. However, when we dig in deeper, we learn that relationship dynamics that are rooted in insecure attachment and abandonment issues are anything but easy.
Signs you're codependent include seeking approval, enabling unhealthy behaviors, denying your own needs, putting the needs of others before your own, having poor boundaries, having difficulty with mature communication, lying for a partner, feeling over-responsible for other people's emotions, rescuing or fixing other people's lives, and then feeling angry when others don't do as you would expect them to.
