    I’ve been researching codependency a lot lately because of a podcast called Good for You by Whitney Cummings. Whitney’s therapist describes codependency as “The inability to tolerate other people discomfort”. So it’s doing everything to maintain the same relationship dynamic

      They actually aren’t all different things. Narcissism and Anti-Social are different points on the same scale. Codependency often overlaps narcissistic relationships between two people because they become enmeshed and are not interdependent. And all of these things are caused by trauma to some degree. So you might actually be a little of everything.

    It was a hard lesson for me to learn, but there really are people who have no breaks when it comes to abusing your tendency to bend over backwards for them. Empathy on their part simply never kicks in, so you can't depend on them stopping when they've taken enough. Your sacrifice does not always lead to a problem being fixed and if it doesn't, don't make the sacrifice. Rule of thumb: Effort in ≠ reward out. And your partner won't protect you from that.

      I don't completely agree with that statement. Some people whether due to career, truama, or other kinds of circumstance will not be able to commit 100/100. Think of being in a relationship with someone who is physically disabled or the mother with five kids, they cant commit 100% for reasons I hope are obvious for others, but they should not be looked down upon for not being able to commit 100% and still deserve respect and more commitment from others who can contribute to others.

    • @NiHaLxSeNnAr
      @NiHaLxSeNnAr 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@theawesomeman9821 I think you misunderstand something. It's not about commiting to a 100% but to stay 100% while being with someone else. In the sense of: "You can't pour from an empty cup".
      You are right, sometimes you will commit more and sacrifice a part of yourself for someone else, but you have to have a healthy relationship with yourself in the first place and need to be your own source of energy. That's how you can then share it with the people you love. You feed by your own self-love!

    Here here, this was me till I experienced emotional burnout. I realized I was unable to even think about myself so I felt "trapped" in a cycle of helping and neglecting myself. That burnout snapped me out of it real quick because my brain simply could not figure out why I was so drained and in constant fear of my phone notifications. The key is to attempt a healthy balance, it doesn't have to be perfect cause we aren't perfect but feeling comfortable to set boundaries and minimal self neglect is a good sign.

  • @tulufus84
    @tulufus84 2 ปีที่แล้ว +19

    I guess according to this, I am codependent lol. I have always said that I am someone who needs to be needed and when a friend no longer needs me (if I am no longer improving their lives, providing some benefit, or meeting their needs that aren't being met elsewhere), I tend to walk away from the friendships. I know that is caused by self esteem issues... I almost always place friends needs ahead of my own. If a friend asks for help, I will almost always do whatever I can for them whether I want to or not. I don't really see a problem with that though as my friends are great people and they don't take advantage of that. One problem that arises from that, though, is that I have become a last resort for some of them because they feel like they are taking advantage (because I never say no) even though they aren't.

    Some degree of codependency I guess is not ideal but inevitable because humans are not perfect beings, we do not live in perfect societies and we don't build perfect relationships. The problem comes when it goes too far and one of the parts becomes too needy or the other one needs to be needed too much. In those cases, it's best to terminate the relationship soon enough and move on.
    By the way, interesting outfit. I wouldn't expect the combination of that top with jeans to work but you're definitely pulling it off.
