Preoccupied with Other People or things Outside of Our Lives?

What do ignoring problems, accepting excuses and/or attempting to cover up sticky predicaments in relationships represent? Enabling the behavior of individuals in a Codependent dynamic. This is a discussion that I have held here before, in our forum because I find this dysfunction all around me...in relationships involving me or people that I know. What I find most interesting is that the Codependent personalities (defined as putting all Of Your Focus on the needs of another individual) seek out individuals who are emotionally unavailable, needy or just unreliable and unable to adequately contribute in a relationship on any sort of fair level. The Codependent individual attempts to provide for and have some control for the dysfunction within the relationship without necessarily addressing their own personal needs...ultimately enhancing their own personal emotional void of relationship fulfillment. Often enough Codependent personalities display compulsive and excessive behaviors.

Obsessive need for approval. Fi5e.....Lacking Trust in yourself/poor self esteem. 6. Difficulty Identifying your own feelings. Seven77 Unhealthy dependence on relationships (even at your own cost).
Final...
Exaggerated sense of responsibility!

What could You Do?
You know what to do.
I don't have to tell you what to do, because it doesn't matter what I tell you...you will all still do what you want...
even at your own cost.

That is your price, no cost on my end...

P.S. You rarely find this sort of behavior in Healthy Relationships.
