Living with codependency issues can feel like you’re constantly running from something…oh. That’s yourself. Every morning, you might wake up, and feel the need to call, text, or see someone. You can’t just let the day come to you—you need to chase down activities and socializing, even if it’s very hard that day. It’s great to enjoy and like people; it’s not great to need people all of the time. Because guess what? They just can’t possibly be there for you all of the time. And if you don’t have the strength to be alone sometime, you’ll do things that are self-destructive in the pursuit of company. Remember you can binge on anything—alcohol, shopping, drugs, sex, and even companionship. Many people only associate codependency with romantic relationships, but you can be codependent in friendships. Here are signs you are codependent in friendships and all relationships.
