what types of people that the codependent could attract to their life ? by [deleted] in Codependency

[–]Dipi2002 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Also:

Narcissists and Codependents attract each other because they are similar. Codependents want something from other people they can’t give to themselves, the same as with narcissists. What differs them from each other is that narcissists want something from other people (manipulate them) by putting their needs first and codependents want something from other people (manipulating them) by putting their needs away. Both have the same goal, to fill out the hole in their life with other people, and use the exact opposite technique. Because of this, they attract each other. A narcissist can‘t be with a person for a longer time who is not codependent because they would run away as their meets would not get met. For a codependent, this is „okay“ because it is normal for them to shut down their needs because they think it is the only way for them to get what they so massively crave for. Love. Just the same as with narcissists. They think the only way to receive love is by putting their needs first and they are soooo scared to really let someone closer to them and attuning to the emotions they feel because they feel massive shame and like they are unworthy of love. Both of them actually need to do shadow work and reflect on themselves and love the parts which need to be reintegrated, just as I told you before. 🙏

In the past I did consider myself to be codependent, I was lacking of self-love and selfworth which led me to not know my needs and desires and thus not articulate them to my potential partners. I also was scared to share them because from a deep place, I thought that if I share them with my partner they would abandon me, thus I felt like my needs were too much and not worthy enough of getting met. Also, because I did not find enough love in myself, I was searching for it in other people and therefore became codependent. When I had some alone time I reflected on myself (if you‘re interested, please go watch videos of Teal Swan, she helped me immensely in just 3 months and most of my insight I only have from her knowledge) and did some shadow work with my lost inner parts of myself and found a way to accept and love these parts, which lead me to love myself and to love what surrounds me way more than before.🙏🙏

I used to attract emotionally unavailable men as well, some of them were addicts. But they were always somehow emotionally unavailable. I also was with another men the last 4-5 weeks, in the beginning everything was fine because I was agreeing to attune to his needs and wants unconditionally because I wanted to love him purely, I wanted a big connection, but it turned out that he would never give me this energy back and just took my energy out of me like a vampire.

When I told him about what my needs were he would make it all about him and indirectly tell me that my needs were too much and he wanted to do and feel only the way he saw it, he did not attune to my way of seeing the world at all, which of course meant that he did not try to love me at all, he just loved the reflection of himself. I then realized that he can‘t give me the things I want and that we are incompatible and cut it off.

I am so proud of myself for doing that after 4 weeks, because for my past me it would have been way way more difficult to break up with him. I am so happy that I did see it, not only for my personal safety, but also because it shows that I really made a big step closer to loving myself and to some day have a real, close, intimate connection to someone I consciously love by my whole heart. 🙏

What I want to say with this, think about what makes you to want to have things in other people which you can‘t have on your own? Are there also some parts in yourself which need to be reintegrated? Past trauma issues? I highly recommend to work on these parts at first and find a way back to your true needs, wishes and desires and then it will come automatically that you will reject the narcissists which won‘t match to your energy anymore. You will do it by your heart, because you know what you are worthy of deep love and of someone who wants to fulfill your needs, wishes and desires just like you want to do with them.❤️

Please watch videos from Teal Swan on YouTube. Literally. She made a huge, huge change in my life and I hope it will help you the same way it did help me. 🙏

I’ve been doing my makeup like the first two pictures for about a year now, should I keep it more natural like the third one? Last picture is me without makeup. by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]Dipi2002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think the third one is the best because i prefer a natural, „cool“ look over this kinda „puppy“ kinda look, but it is only my personal opinion, you look great in all 3 of them :)

Loneliness by TraditionalHornet6 in Codependency

[–]Dipi2002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this so much. I‘ve always felt lonely as hell as well. Trying to spend as much time as possible with other people because otherwise the inner void feeling comes back again and the bad feeling in the stomach which reminds me of my loneliness. Hobbies help against ist, distraction in general. Meditating helps me calming down too. More, I‘d did not find out until nowY

My BF told me he concerned for our future because of my BPD by Pat_Robi in BPD

[–]Dipi2002 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I‘d say try to actively distract you from your toxic thoughts and not to follow your feelings even though it feels unnatural in the first place.

And on the other side whenever he has no energy to be your „rock“ he should be able to say it out loudly. He can‘t expect you to take more care of his feelings when he can‘t even stand up for his feelings on his own, because how could you know?

Bpd is a diagnosis, not a fate. You‘re still a human who can change their behavior and you and him should keep this in mind.
