"SIGNS YOU ARE CODEPENDENT and DON'T KNOW IT" -- RED FLAGS OF CODEPENDENCY/LISA ROMANO
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- There are signs you are codependent and don't even know it. Are you codependent? Red flags of codependency include poor boundaries, low self-worth, catering to the needs of others, and seeking validation by anticipating the needs of others. Codependency has many signs and characteristics and in this video, I discuss the major traits of the codependent personality.
Codependency is rooted in childhood. It is the result of many things including an unpredictable, emotionally neglectful, rigid, home that had little tolerance for emotions, individuality, and freedom of expression.
Codependency recovery hinges on our ability to recognize unhealthy patterns in ourselves. Without this awareness, we cannot fix what needs to be fixed. Codependency in relationships causes us to worry more about others than we do ourselves. Codependent people tend to attract narcissists into their lives because codependents are other-focused, while narcissists are self-focused. If you tend to attract people who need to be fixed, if you worry more about others than yourself if you grew up with alcoholic parents or narcissistic parents if your home was unpredictable, unsafe, rigid, and hostile this video is for you.
As a recovering codependent myself, I understand the value of personal development and addressing symptoms of codependency. Please know that it is possible to recover from codependency and narcissistic abuse. You can take my free codependency quiz below.

BEST EXPLANATION of co-dependency I have EVER heard in my life, and I am 59 yrs old! Thank you. Listening to every word you said, I felt like you were speaking specifically to me. (Ouch!)
Hey Rhonda! I am so happy to hear this resonated with you!
you are not alone
To me too double ouch.
Your channel is amazing!!
This literally describes me.
On a serious note, You are awesome, and yes, I'm a total co-dependent, and boy people don't like when you start to change.........
They sure don't!
OMG this is so true!
Yes, and when you start standing up for yourself them demanding mates take off faster than Usain Bolt.
@@deebest4202 Yes, that's when my ex narc, started talking divorce, when I started saying NO MORE!
@@deebest4202 Not just your mate, you siblings, young adults, and so on.
one more sign: when a codependent speaks, they always try to be perfectly clear.
There is a fear of leaving any space for misinterpretation.
Probably in the childhood, any space for misinterpretation was used against us.
Ooof I felt that.
Oh man...
That's 100% me ffs...
Your opening wounds 🥲
Orrrr... We avoid talking at all, or have outbursts and then get scared to read responses!
Making people comfortable has been my problem.
I hear you!
Yess
I was told I make people too comfortable! But I'm also part Greek so some of it's culture
Me too!
Right...💯💯
Zero empathy for the self. 100% true
Well said 😄
Codependency is EVERYWHERE. After hearing your very first video five years ago,I was stunned to realise it just described everyone around me...
So hard to admit to this. Seeing ourselves as we truly are is the hardest thing to do. I am 100% codependent. I Am a people pleaser and my childhood was filled with neglect n lies. Seen n unheard. Bounced to one guardian to the next. Thank You Lisa!!! I love your videos!!!
No ways! You have summed up my life, funny how one thinks their experiences are are unique only to them but no others have/are gone/going through the same stuff. Wow! How are you getting through if i may ask?
Hi Patricia Good evening I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….
It all makes sense now. Growing up I had to take care of everyone else (siblings, adults) but no one took care of me. If I ask for what I needed or wanted or stated an interest, I was punished and called selfish and needy. I wasnt and because I didnt want to be seen or called selfish and needy I ignored myself. It followed me into adulthood. You spoke directly to my soul. Thanks for this video ❤ Now what?
I'm so sorry you've been through this. I can relate. I've been going for therapy for 2 years and finally feel better with boundaries. I also did other healing such as dance movement psychotherapy, herbal medicine, acupuncture, etc...
Try all alternative modalities and find what works.
I hope you have already done most of this by now!
The keyword for codependency is IGNORE/AVOID/NEGLECT/REJECT self. Phew! We need help Lord.
I spent most of my life staying in relationships that were not healthy and self-sabotaging the ones that were all because I didn't feel lovable. Although it is finally good to know why I did this, there are scars on my heart that come from losing the love I could have had. Thanks Lisa for your kind and caring heart.
Hi Karen Good evening I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement.

"seeking validation by anticipating the needs of others." That's me to a "T" - and I am 72 years old. I will study and read and watch and listen and learn to help this old dog learn new tricks! 2022.
It really hurts to know that i was brought up unconsciously to codependency. A mixture of strong, stirring emotions came up to realize that my life was not taken seriously at all by my very own parents in my growing up years. What really hurts is to know that i was not truly loved by them. Now that i know and understand my codepency for decades, my heart hurts and find myself crying within to see mothers treating their child in school with little or no empathy. I wanted to save the mistreated, unloved child from the excruciating pain and emotional and psychological damage it can cause them but the how is very hard and complicated thing to do when mostly or a large part of the society where i'm at doesn't give a damn or care at all. Codependency and narcissism is really a serious matter to know and deal with. Thank you Lisa for being passionate in helping many of us who suffer terribly from narcissistic abuse and codependency. We may be so miles and miles away but your voice which brings light and love has reach me to where i am which i am truly grateful. I am up for raising our vibrations high.♥️
Yes this is really hard but try to remember your parents were unconscious too.

I'm only 4 min in and you're speaking about me. Oy vey.
Hehehehe me too! Oy ve! I'm even giving advice to people in the comments section as I listen to this 🤦🏽♀️
My mother was a martyr. Please ADDRESS THAT
Great topic!
I was so afraid to open up videos on codependency because I feared I was co-dependent and watching this video allowed me to almost open up a little even to just myself. I understand now why I can’t pinpoint specific emotions and why I tolerate so much abuse and I just want help. I want to be happy. Thank you so much for this video.
I’m so with you on now understanding why I have the inability to identify specific emotions. I’ve said so many times, even to myself, “I just feel so...I don’t know”. I just told myself that I was not smart enough to come up with the words to express how I’m feeling, but really I truly don’t know how to identify what I’m feeling.
How are you doing today? ❤️
Lisa has opened up my life so I can see, observe and absorb.
Sometimes I am sobbing in pain but other times little rays if light shine. Lisa is a HERO! Follow her! Learn about You.
i’ve never felt so exposed in MY LIFE
Yeah it's so bad that when i do something for me i feel like a criminal :(
It is emotionally draining - compassion fatigue .I can relate to this . My mom was a fixer too and my dad suffered emotional probs ..there was dysfunction but I was lucky to also live in a home where was much support too but def boundaries needed to be set
Dear Lisa, It is so exhausting doing! With your work, we are breaking day by day those patterns through repetition, observation, and consistency, focusing on our self. Love your channel.
YAY!!!!!! Stay strong!
We must forgive ourselves.
Forgiveness means giving up all hope for a better past.
I am very emotional listening to you in this video. I am crying and can’t contain myself. All my life I had every characteristics you described in this video. I am tired, exhausted, overwhelmed with my life. Time to take care of me and myself only. Thank you so much... I been suffering for 26 years doing all this not realizing I need to leave my abusive family and husband. I’m always constantly making excuses for the way my family and husband treats me... I’m blaming myself and then I’m back normal with them acting like they didn’t did anything to me. I have no self respect. And having children and being co dependency doesn’t help them. Thank you so much!!!
By the way, I am with a narcissist and I was my families scapegoat as well. For a while, I started thinking, I’m a narcissist since I want to be heard and want to be seen. But the problem is I have co dependency problems from my abuse experience. I can’t believe I confused it with narcissist. Mind blowing what mental and even physical abuse can do to someone.
You’re aware of this now be proud of yourself for simply that!!!! Take the time to heal and be around ppl that encourage it!
Have listened to this video a couple times since I found it today and will probably come back to it again. Thank you for putting this info out there! I see so many of my traits in what you are saying.
Hi Billy Good evening I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….
Here's a good one too... STOP!! What do you WANT to do? Right now, pick a thing YOU WANT for yourself. Oops, can't think of anything? Better not be wasting your life like that...
I was raised in a dysfunctional home. Mom didn’t clean the house because she was depressed and abused by my dad. Dirty to the point where we couldn’t see the floor and I had to poop in bags because the toilet wouldn’t flush. My dad left and called child protective services on my mom but didn’t want to keep me and my sister either. My mom would be on the phone most of the time and never really payed any mind to me. Whenever I tried getting her attention she would yell at me that she was on the phone. I know this is a lot but can all of this be the reason why I’m codependent. I just lost my partner and I’m really trying to figure myself out and work on myself.
My fiancee went to rehab and then left me. We both got sober. I was sober the whole time she was in rehab until she got out and left me. She was using me and turned out to be a sociopath. I loved her very much.
The song of pink: " perfect" is the perfect example for codependency.
You have perfectly described me and my mom !! You are so helpful in my life!! Thank you!!!!
OMG!! thank you Lisa, I love you! I needed to hear this and be reminded today. In between coming home to clean. Suddenly I have empathy for myself and the HARD part is NOT repeating the patterns with my children. I look forward to more videos like these. Again, thank you so much for these last couple of years and showing up and sharing, and reassuring me (us) all. In my faith, the one who doesn't thank others, didn't thank his\her creator. xxxxx
Taking stuff from sisters closet, I have 3 sisters and we all do this to each other and we all think it’s ok, it has been a running joke in our family, pamper others, lack of boundaries, taking on the work of other people, mind going 1000 miles an hour, manage and control others....ugggggg, it’s so much! Suggested Next video titles: how to develop a healthy self....how to see the future as good, how to talk to your parents as an adult
Love these ideas--and please check out my next online program www.lisaaromano.com/12wbcp You need to break deep unconscious patterns Dear One xoxox
You nailed it, Lisa! I’ve been attending ACA meetings for 10+ years, and have yet to hear such a clear explanation with such concrete examples. Thank you!
YAY!!!! I think the clearer we get the better.

ACA is extremely necessary. Being vulnerable in a safe space with fellow travellers is key to healing. ❤️🩹
I've watched all your videos for over 2 years and this is your best yet! Thank you for sharing your insights x
As a 65 year old man
Good job
The subtleties to this issue of codependency as you speak it is an issue in itself
Smart people who may think they understand codependency can miss the subtle play both men and women
Thank you for your work and TH-cam’s
Intimate connection is what is beyond
May 2020 be the year of love and intimacy
🧡💛🧡
Exactly! It does seem that women suffer from Codependency more than men. Untruth. After discovery a Codependent is an expert on the subject. Living in it, not just listening. We have a problem with Societal Labels. They’ve thwarted much needed courage to address the fact that we need LISA A ROMANO. She speaks the Truth!
Lisa speaks so much truth on her videos ❤! Namaste dang you're so Gorgeous and very intelligent 😍.
This video describes everything about my co-dependent condition and why I was the easy target and prey for my abusive malignant NPD ex husband
I became exactly like my co dependent empath mom and my ex became exactly like his abusive npd dad
I’m so sorry! I can totally relate to this. 😞
good morning Lisa, your the best!! thank you for all you do 💖 I love your buddha
Such a good video Lisa. The section about the pane of glass separating us from ourselves stopped me in my tracks. I remember riding on the school bus, looking out the window, and thinking about that. I'm still trying to break through. Fortunately, I do have moments of clarity. 🌤
Hi Carter Good evening I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….
i'm using this like a message to you. I am addicted to the narcissist. absolutely still in love with the narcissist. I guess that's heart broken? left them right after their last neglectful act. do you have any videos about how to get over a narcissist when you're still highly infatuated or in love?
Great topic. Please review my video list. I have many videos on this topic.
Where are you at now m.n.??
I have a codependent coworker. This is all spot on. She is very insufferable.
My girlfriend recently left me. She became the caretaker completely. I was going through serious depression and was almost bed ridden. Eventually she got sick of it and left. But she feels like the victim and I let her down and hurt her. Feels like I ruined her life. But I feel like the only thing I did was have depression. I didn't ask her to do all this stuff. She came out of the blue and just started taking care of me but then became spiteful when she wasn't getting anything in return. I feel guilty about it but truthfully didn't have any love to give at the time.
This is great Lisa. I found myself aware today that someone I made lunch for told me he had faith in me. I wanted to hear that because I was nervous cooking for them. But, I found myself quite confident too. So both things were happening. I'm in your 12 week breakthrough under a different name. I am now getting in the habit of seeing myself from the outside and can recognize when I'm being hard on myself. Bless you Lisa!!!
YAY this is so HUGE!!!!!!!! This means you CONSCIOUSNESS is rising up and OUT of the Codependent MIND!
Whew chile!!! U got me! Im starting to put myself first and it feels good. You touch on everything i am dealing with.
In my determination to overcome some of my co dependant ways I had to swing completely the other way in order to let go of the fear of displeasing others or not getting validation. I had a rude slang expression that I won't type here but it was so freeing. It was that release of the need to be perfect or to need approval. Feels good. Still work to do tho. Onwards and up we go. Thank u Lisa. 💗
Yes, this is so true!

Thank you so much.. I have discovered the reasons of my suffering.. it's codependency. . Do really thank you for your time and effort for helping us to discover ourselves and accordingly fixing our lives../ GOD BLESS YOU with all the blessings He loves to bless you with.. ❤
Thanks Lisa! Your info has been amazing over the last couple of years.
I’ve never felt so attacked like I did in the first 3 minutes of this video. I always worried about my narcissistic boyfriends and mother. I found myself dating my mom over and over again. I kept learning how to identify toxic people so I could stay away from them or learn how to detect “red flags” and as far as understanding why people are the way they are. Never then had I realized I ATTRACTED THIS KIND OF PEOPLE because I was the perfect codependent next person to abuse and drain emotionally and mentally. Now I know what is my problem, I see it, I feel it, and I want to heal it and finally feel free.
I'm not there yet, but I think I will see it very soon. Congrats. I like the "I felt so attacked..." Yes, right? There is an element of that, and wanting to defend what you've done all along. Of course, this is NOT just something we dreamed up. We were told to do things a certain way, at least I was, so I was just doing what I thought was "the right thing." To go against that would be to "do the wrong thing," but I suppose you gotta look at who is defining "right" and "wrong," eh?
Brilliant explanation! Wow. You said everything I feel (or have in the past) ❤ thank you
Namaste!
Lisa, thank you thank you thank you for continuing to open my eyes to identify what I could not see in myself.
Doug
"I can fix problems for everyone else and can't fix them for myself."
I AM. Now it's time for me to learn how to TAKE CARE OF MYSELF.
The need to be validated comes from OUTSIDE of OURSELVES.
I spent my entire life trying to "prove " that I am worth *something* to *anyone.* Just the way I grew up, no matter what I did nothing was ever enough. I am 72 years old and I am in an unhealthy relationship and do not know how to end it.
Start setting healthy boundaries at work for me

Is me needing people to like me and being overly polite to those who are rude to me and doing nice things for them even though they are mean to me and sign. Or maybe still talking to people who have hurt me because they need help or because I don’t want them to be mad at me?
Yes absolutely ♥️I can relate ♥️
@@makoaquest7756 good I’m not alone
So how do we get out of this. I’m hanging on to my life suffering so hard.
How are you doing
Pray for Strenght to get out
Thank you so much for this, Lisa. Now I understand what I've suffer all these years! When I have this weird feelings why I always feel unwanted, u heard, and unvalued. I need to heal within. Looking forward I can see solutions by watching your contents. Godbless!
I like how simply you say it. And with kindness. Thank you
that's me 99%! I hated myself for being this, codepebanant, i had feelings that I don't want this but also don't know better /how to overcome this /change myself!!... grateful from heart Lisa , you are a blessing, thank you so much dear, love and light 💚 💯 🙌 💎
From my perspective codependency is a pandemic ...... Alack of self love is the root cause of all suffering in this universe !!!!!
I can’t thank you enough for this video have had all these struggles 🙏🏼
Hang in there...recovery is possible.
I’ve been resisting getting better because I feel I don’t deserve to feel better. I feel that because of the guilt and shame I have it’s not right for me to feel good. I deserve to be used and abused because as I bring nothing to the table, I’ve wasted people’s time. I remember as a child imagining I was invisible so I wouldn’t negatively effect anyone’s life.
I'm 18 months out of a 22 year narcissistic marriage. I am now at the point of understanding I am a survivor of narcissistic abuse and how I became a victim in the first place. My inner child is deeply wounded. My adult self is deeply wounded. I need to heal the inner child first to understand how to heal the damaged adult. It's been a long 18 month process so far but definitely worth it. I'm healing wounds I have ignored since childhood.
Thank you, Lisa. I needed your support tonight.
Wow, that's exactly what I thought when my therapist recommended that I join a group for co dependents. I thought it had to do with dealing with a loved one who was an alcoholic. But still I never understood why I was in that group until your videos Lisa. Thank You! 🤗
YAY!!!!!!

everyone will have some level of codependency - everyone. you want to know why? because we are all human and doing the best we can with what we have/had. that includes our parents. we are or may eventually be parents - and we will do the best we can raising our own. as adults it is up to us to process and overcome whatever deficiencies we grew up with. it is not an excuse to remain in co-dependency. once you are aware of your it, heal/find a way to heal. it is up to each person to heal and move forward. i speak from experience. i, like so many others, had a difficult childhood. but as an adult i grew to understand that my parents had their own demons to overcome - if they could. they could not. yet i loved my parents dearly in life (both departed) and i do not blame them. continuing to find and lay blame and never overcoming is to never accept that your growth is up to you. yes, i had a troubled childhood but it is up to me to make your peace with it and not let it define my life.
I thought I had moved out of coda, I see I haven’t, I have gone thru a lot of drama, walked away and now back again. I am almost 70.
I recently started listening and find myself more often than not getting upset, saying no, that cant be..but yet I keep listening because it all resonates way too close for comfort..So, I'm fighting what your saying and yet I keep listening.
I can say one thing about this when you give unsolicited advice without being asked, it is only going to backfire. I was just having a conversation about this in the car with my husband. You can only fix or change you, you are the only person who you can control!!
You can not control other people's actions and what they do - because DO NOT CONFUSE YOUR ADVICE GIVING IS WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO!! JUST LIKE YOU, THEY ALSO HAVE FREE Will!! Remember this, remind yourself of this. They haven't done it, because they are trying to give you a slap in the face - you just respect individuals enough to make their own choices and if they make a stupid choice then it's on them. They take the consequencess. If your a true friend - just be there for them after, don't be like I told you so. Help them, then, because when does a person need help more before they make that stupid choice - because if you add resistance it's only going to want to make them do it more or after the event - they appreciate it more then.
Codependency is what drove my brother to unaliving himself two weeks ago. Please get help.
Maby stupid but in order to be honest about the co dep: Although not intend to do so, but maby unconsiusly by your behavior sometimes you bother other people. Help the other for value energy for yourself is also stealing enery. Unconsiously maby the other gets tired of the co dep. For that, i can see i didn't do things right. Not for myself and not for others. I simply didn't realise. I learn every day more and more.
This video is re-traumatizing and makes me very angry (at my home that I grew up in and myself, too, for being this way because of them). How do you fix it? Becoming a selfish arrogant self-centered git to the outside world and everybody who tries to be nice to you because you just don't trust them? Anger is really shaking me right now!!!
i feel your rage, im currently looking for a remedy. Look up Richard Grannon he has some good techniques to use.
the coda and alanon groups i went to ( and I went to many) were all about appeasing the offender. NOTHING about real healing and strategies as lisa talks bout. they kept me stuck for about 10 years
Codependents are a pain in the ass! My landlord is like that. He's not helpful, but nosy. And when he "helps", it has to be in a way that benefits him. Oh, and once he had the audacity to say this: "I bought these ingredients. Will u cook for me?" Duh...of course, I won't! I can't wait to find a better place.
I wish I knew about this 30 years ago, thank you so much for confirmation on what I suspected all along! 🌤🌷
So interesting. Certen, i'am co dep. Only nr. 1 like disappointed i didn' t feel for hepling. My mother printed in me: Help somebody but never expect (or ask) someting in return. So i didn't feel 'dissapointment' emotion or had expextations. It was wath it was. I think this was in advantige for my mother. I think i willingly isolated myself when i had my own family. It cost much energy 'just help my husband. I feel it was mmy obligation bc i was/am his wife. I didn't know better. But very very tired, o yes. I am right now. I want rest. I am so lazy thepast 4 weeks. I can keep the household in order, and that's it. Surprisingly my man understands me . Thaks Lisa, from all coaches on youtube. You are the best 💗🤍💙 love from Holland, EU.
I always took care of people at an early age had to take care of my parents no time for me
I think I have PTSD from my last relationship. I can't stop the shakes
Your description of codependency is Absolutely brilliant. Thank you Lisa. God bless you.
This is sooo me!!! I really hate that I'm programmed this way. I hope I can heal from this bs. Love and light everyone!!! 😘😘😘
Wonderful wisdom. I identify w/ 90%.
The more I learn, the more I see it around me - I think as a society we've been trained into it
You were basically talking to me. I am starting to focus on me for once. It's hard, but it's a journey I'm ready for.
Me too
could codependency ever be a good thing. what if both parties are codependent, always wanting to be around eachother with no qualms about being “too clingy “? Do you think a relationship like that can last?
literally describes me to a T. I hope I can break through it:/
I forgot to say I hope you and your family are ok. It was a steep hill. Bob
Can you make a video about creating friendships after a life of codependency? I feel like the only way I can make and keep friends is to be codependent. I’d like to keep seeing myself and have friends at the same time but I’m struggling with balance and how to do that.
I'm crying watching this before even 2 minutes in
The only one that fits me is I end up w guys who appear to have it together. But when they do have it together, I only see them as a friend. When they seem broken, unloved.. I want to give them my love & make them better.
Going through 3rd divirce to the 3rd narc husband
AND I stay wayyyyyyy longer than I should. But only bc I meant my vows. This time I would have stayed forever. So he is divorcing me bc he prob thought I was going to leave & he didn’t want me to “win”
I need your help mam..I really do...I'm drowning...Don't really know how to work with what is happening by my father

When I started to value myself more, many narcissists started to devalue me more. These are the same people who told me that i am „talented and I should stop feeling bad about myself” and when that actually happened I felt like punching bag for them
Hello Lisa. I went with my Sponser to the beach. It felt like Santa Barbara beach. I tried to read clearly and he's in his 60s and hyper like some of us kids Were. I had to think quick. Lol. It was cleansing but the steep hill I thought I'd pass out. He's the first person I read inventory to in 2 years. Just wanna stop on by. Bob
Great information! Thank you
Narcissistic and codependant is my problem. I am the worst person because im lazy but I hook my boat to sinking ship because it gets me from point A to point B.
Thank you dear one. Awesome vid. You're always right on ♡♡
