The vanity of existence
I’m still figuring this one out myself, as it’s pretty complex and not a cookie cutter definition , it’s different for everyone but the traits and the root of it may stem from the same place.

Co-dependency is an tricky little bastard that wears multiple masks. It makes you believe you’re “doing” everything for every one, nobody does anything for you. That you’re the one and only person that cares, that’s available, that pays attention. That you never do enough, won’t ever be enough, and in “their” eyes, you’ll never be good enough. It tells you that when someone is sad, mad or sick, it’s your job to make them feel happy, calm them down and make them feel better. Why? Because that’s what friends, family and/or do! If you don’t, you’re an awful person and they will be mad at you, talk crap about you and won’t like you anymore.Basically, you are a mind-read...
