The following comes from a popular website listing signs of
codependent people:
- Feel most comfortable when they are giving
- Find needy people to take care of
- Try to please others instead of themselves
- Have an overdeveloped sense of responsibility
- Try to be all things to all people all the time
- Have difficulty saying "no" and/or setting
boundaries
- Feel empty and bored when they are not involved in a
crisis
- Seek out chaos and then complain about it
- Tend to have a self-esteem that is connected to
"doing"
- Are afraid of
making mistakes
- Try to be perfect, and expect others to be perfect
- Have self-blame and put themselves down
- Must be in control
at all times
