Am I the only one that thinks that these characteristics fit Tippy?
Symptoms of Codependency:
- Judging self, others without mercy.
- Low self esteem, often projected onto others. (eg: Why don't they get their act together!)
- Difficulty in developing or sustaining meaningful relationships.
- Belief that others cause or are responsible for the codependent's emotions.
- Overreacting to change. (or intense fear of / inability to deal with change.)
- Inability to see alternatives to situations, thus responding very impulsively.
- Constantly seeking approval and affirmation, yet having compromised sense of self.
- Being either super responsible or super irresponsible. (Or alternating between these.)
- Feeling of fear, insecurity, inadequacy, guilt, hurt, and shame which are denied.
- Resentment of authority figures.
- Hypersensitivity to criticism.
- Being addicted to excitement / drama. (Chaos making.)
- Dependency upon others and fear of abandonment.
- Confusion between love and pity.
- Tendency to look for "victims" to help.
- Rigidity and need to control.
- Lies, when it would be just as easy to tell the truth.
