1. Low Self-Confidence

  • According to one study, low self-confidence is the largest predictor of codependency (Lindley, Giordano, & Hammer, 1999).
  • If you are lacking self-confidence, you may be more reliant on your partner to make decisions for you and need them to validate your self-worth.

  • The chemicals released in our brains during romance can lift a depressed mood.
  • This can lead to unhealthy attachments when we depend on our relationship to cure our loneliness or emptiness.
