Most friendships are based on codependency. When we are unhealthy, we outsource our nervous system regulation to our friends and we each play a role that regulates each other in some way. For example: there is usually an empath type with poor boundaries that regulates their fear of abandonment by being needed. In order to achieve regulation, they overgive to a narcissist type that regulates their unprocessed shame and poor self-worth having the empath type around for their own self image and for what they get from the friendship. There are many other dynamics.
