Are you a high-functioning co-dependent?

There is a very fine line between being healthy, caring person and codependency. Codependency can limit your potential for healthy, intimate relationships and connection as well as leaving you feeling completely spent by the end of the day.

I often say by the time codependents, people pleasers and perfectionists get home, their family gets what's left of them not the best of them because they give and give and give unil nothins is left. Being a codependent also makes it very hard for you to set and maintain healthy boundaries.

Here are some tendencies of codependents
-feel responsible for the choices, outcomes and feelings or other people
-feel like when something bad is happening to someone else, it is also happening to you
-feel a need to be needed by others
-puts others needs above their own
-sense of worth is connected to helping others and level of work
-feel a need to be part of the solution to someone else's problems
-do more then is needed
-do things that others can and should be doing for themselves
-say yes when you want to say no
-cover for others (i.e staying late at work to cover for your boss who didn't get the project done)
-make excuses for other people's bad behavior
-feel resentment and bitter for over-giving
-think to themselves, sometimes " I can't believe they would say that about me after ALL I have done for them?"

High-functioning co-dependents often function of auto-pilot with all the giving, doing, giving and doing without even being aware that they are doing it.

Growing up I was always walking on eggshells because I never knew what I was walking into at home. How about you? Do one of these make you go ahhhhh yes I do that or did that?
