Codependency is a term that has gained popularity in recent years as a result of increased awareness of mental health and addiction issues.

It refers to a dysfunctional relationship in which one person is excessively reliant on another for emotional support and validation, to the point where they neglect their own needs and well-being.
This type of relationship can be damaging to both parties involved, as it can lead to feelings of resentment, anxiety, and low self-worth.

At the end of the day, there is nothing masculine about a codependent man because they are needy, and nothing repels feminine women faster than a needy man with low self-esteem.
It doesn’t mean you are a bad person.
It simply means you have a lot of work to do on the inside and anyone is capable of growing from the inside out if they have enough courage to go inward.

If you want to attract high value women who have done the difficult work of growing from the inside out, the kind of woman who will bring you peace instead of anxiety, then you need to be strong enough to embrace solitude so that you can grow and evolve.

Codependency often occurs in romantic relationships, but it can also exist in friendships, family relationships, and even in the workplace.
A codependent man often feels a strong need to control and care for the other person, sometimes to the point of sacrificing their own happiness and well-being.
They may find it difficult to say no to the other person's requests, even if it means neglecting their own needs or values.
Codependent men often seek approval and validation from others, relying heavily on external sources for their sense of identity and worth and that will never end well for anyone.
If you want to be strong, you can’t tie your happiness to other people because people come and go.
Everything you need is within you.

The roots of codependency can often be traced back to childhood experiences, such as growing up in a dysfunctional family or experiencing trauma.
These experiences can lead to a lack of self-esteem and self-worth, causing the person to seek validation and approval from others.
Additionally, the codependent person may have learned to ignore their own needs and feelings in order to maintain peace in their family or relationships.
This ultimately leads to depression, heightened anxiety and misery because living life through the expectations of other people is, as people discover, a waste of time and energy.

While codependency can provide a sense of security and validation in the short term, it ultimately leads to an unhealthy imbalance in the relationship.
A codependent man may feel resentful and angry towards the other person for not meeting their needs, while the other person may feel overwhelmed and suffocated by the codependent person's constant attention and need for validation.
It’s toxic behaviour and it’s draining.

Breaking free from codependency requires a willingness to face and address the underlying issues that contribute to it.
It means being honest with yourself instead of living in denial.
This may involve seeking therapy or counseling, learning to set boundaries and prioritize one's own needs, and developing a stronger sense of self-worth and self-esteem.
It may also involve ending relationships that are toxic or unfulfilling but if you are codependent, it’s quite possible that you are the reason it’s toxic and unfulfilling for both of you.
Time to go inward and take ownership, accountability and responsibility.

Codependency is a complex issue that can have a significant impact on all aspects of a person's life and as I said, ultimately leads to depression and misery.

It is important for individuals to recognise the signs of codependency and to take steps to address it in order to foster healthier, more balanced relationships and a stronger sense of self-worth.

I hope you find this of value, my brothers.
