Codependent

[Pawnee123]

I've recently seen a therapist and they said I might be codependent. I looked at the characteristics and they sound a lot like me. The major problem I'm having is that I'm not in and haven't been in a relationship for a few years. Does anyone know if someone can be considered codependent without being in a relationship?

Google it. There's lots of stuff on it.

So then why respond to the post?

I'm trying to learn about it. That's why I wrote the post. Answers saying idk don't help anyone.

yes...absolutely.....it's just learned behavior....and your not defined by labels....you can learn to un-learn what parts you don't like and enhance the ones you do, we are all loveable, and relationships don't define us either....it's actually probably a blessing in disguise your getting in touch with this now...so the more you know...the better you feel...and you'll have a better relationship down the road for it hopefully....it's all good.
