Eli5- What is codependency?
In: 4
As someone who has experienced codependency in a relationship, allow me to add a little insight. In a nutshell, codependency is when you attach your own feelings of self worth and happiness to you making someone else happy. You attach your emotional well being to someone else and their well being. Without it you feel worthless. This does not need to be reciprocated by the other person.
It is a terrible way to live, but it seems to become the default for someone with low self esteem issues.
