what does it mean if your codependent?
Even though many of us have experienced a relationship where we feel slightly off, to lose sight of yourself (and rely on your partner to determine your value) is a toxic connection that can be labeled as a codependent relationship. What does it mean to be codependent? If youâre in a codependent relationship, youâll find yourself basing your self-worth and sense of purpose on your partnerâs approval. As you revolve your life around your partner, youâll enter a dysfunctional cycle of constantly putting his or her well-being over your own and sacrificing yourself for the sake of someone elseâs happiness (while receiving very little in return).
