When your efforts go unnoticed, do you ever feel taken advantage of and neglected? You've spent your whole life-solving other people's issues, so you do your utmost to help them with whatever resources, money, or time you have available.
You seldom refuse to assist others because you fear intense remorse and don't want to "lose their love" if you do. You constantly come to people's aid and repeatedly put yourself at risk.
The "need to be needed" is codependency. It's the urge to be needed by others. It's important and good to feel wanted and cherished by your loved ones, but here's when it may become problematic:
Things start to become problematic when it dictates the majority of your choices and actions, and you only feel at ease in situations where you believe the other person cannot exist without you.
The problems, symptoms, and repercussions of codependency are complex, much like most psychiatric ideas. Individuals with a codependent personality disorder may have poor self-esteem and seek solace from other sources, including drugs, alcohol, relationships, and obsessive activities.
This may hurt your life by making you feel obsessed with your relationship, always afraid of being abandoned, and driven to manage and satisfy other people. On the other hand, codependency may be overcome!
