Codependency is often misunderstood, and it has nothing to do with loving too much or being “too close”.
It’s about what happens when connection starts costing you your sense of self.
Many people in codependent patterns are deeply caring, intuitive, and loyal…they just learned early that love meant over-functioning, self-abandonment, or staying quiet to keep the peace.
Awareness isn’t blame.
It’s the beginning of choice.
And healthier intimacy is possible. 💛
Save this if it resonates.
Share it with someone who needs permission to choose themselves, too.
