Codependents are people who feel as if they need other people to validate them. I know I have discussed narcississm a lot to bring awareness to these issues, but I really must deal with the codependency type of mindset. It stems from being abandoned as a child or abused. We grow up always wanting that gap or void in the soul to be healed by someone else. Well, that is never possible! We were not designed to be healed from the outside in, but from the inside out. Codependents are perfect prey for narcissistic personality types because they are able to play mind games and manipulate easier than with a healthy person.
If you are a codependent, like me, get to know yourself and your boundaries. What do you want or need in a relationship with another healthy human being. Learn to watch for red flags, such as a person who talks a lot, but never has any action behind their words. It is okay to let these type of people go from your life. The only person you will ever be able to change is you! I survived to be victorious!
