codependish (co•de•pen•dish)
: a condition of general disconnection from one’s own wants and needs, prioritizing others (not in the healthy way), resulting in confusion of one’s own direction and life goals
unable to be true to one’s self
in relationships: stalled out, unstable, or just plain un-fun
Repeating patterns and cycles in your romantic relationship…s
Noticing that your relationships cause you all your stress
Feeling like a stranger to yourself
Boundaries…? What’re those?!
High achiever? Check. Know what you want out of life? Nope.
That pressure to be everybody’s everything
Communication about tough topics = you’d rather die
The feeling that you’re “too much”
SOUND FAMILIAR?
You, like every human on this planet, have some sort of internal struggle with attachment and relating to other humans.
Why? Because no parent is perfect, and neither is anyone we meet after childhood! Your experiences have left you with some shit to deal with, no matter who you are.
You notice these tiny things popping up all over your life, and you can’t quite put our finger on what it is…
It’s Codependish.
Codependish is when you feel stressed and insecure in your relationships with others and feel down on your self more than you don’t. Codependish is the creeping feeling when you’re unsure of your own wants, your own needs, and your own identity. Codependish is that panicky feeling when your primary relationship – or maybe even all of them, are struggling.
You’ve been struggling to figure it out on your own, and you’re not sure of the best way, which creates a whole new layer to your negative experience.
