Okkkkk, we got hyper-independence. Not allowing others to be there for you sometimes means you aren’t used to having a healthy support system. This makes it hard to trust others & yourself. So you only depend on you. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Avoidance. OMG AVOIDANCE. Avoiding people, places, things, thoughts, literally everything. It’s a way of you attempting to control your reality so it can feel safe. It’s really keeping your ability to tolerate emotions/triggers low, unfortunately.

Threatening to leave your relationship every time conflict arises because you’re used to being abandoned so you want to leave first, can be a response to trauma — but it’s also emotional abuse and can alter your partners sense of safety & security within the relationship.

Trauma doesn’t make you stronger. It makes it hard to trust yourself and others. It makes it hard to make logical decisions. It makes it hard to maintain relationships. It makes it hard to love yourself. It makes it hard to give others & yourself grace.

Ok so back to codependency! Feeling as if you’re the only one who can help people you love. Feeling you know what’s best for others (more than they do for themselves). Attempting to control people out of fear that you’ll lose them.
