Are you an emotional addict?
Emotional dependence is a silent disease. Sometimes, we are in a moment of dependence and we don't even know it. We can be emotionally dependent on parents, on children, on loving relationships.
The most important thing is to be able to identify if you are emotionally dependent on someone.
Evaluate:
Do you feel unhappy if this person is not, or when this person does not meet your expectations?
Do you do everything possible and impossible to never displease this person?
Do you put this person at the center of your life, even going from doing things for you to doing things for them?
Do you get sad easily if this person doesn't do the same things for you?
These are just some of the identifying points that you may be emotionally dependent on.
But calm down, there is a cure for all this. Come on:
1. Align your goals and work towards them. So you'll spend a good time looking at yourself.
2. Find out what your strengths are and what your areas of improvement are. With self-knowledge it is much easier to overcome your limitations.
3. Try to get away from this person for a while. But, if she is her partner, show her a little more of her wanting, without fear of displeasing him/her and, of course, with all respect and love. Expose her feelings and wants more. If they are friends and family, avoid excessive contact, many calls and messages. Do actions that occupy your mind more instead of wanting to live just for this person.
4. Start going out a little more, accompanied by your own company. There is nothing more pleasurable than spending a long time just with yourself.
Emotional dependence goes much further than that, but I hope these tips have helped you and count on me.
