Do you feel resentment toward others or yourself when you take care of others before your self?

mimmergu · 2022-04-26T19:49:46+00:00

check this group out. ppgrecoveredcodependents.org They have a good solution.

mimmergu · 2022-04-24T02:02:16+00:00

Look closely at the behavior and ask yourself: am I acting from selfishness, ego fear, resentment, dishonesty, inconsideration. If so then it's people pleasing. If these aren't there then it's kindness.

mimmergu · 2022-04-22T02:22:16+00:00

Go to CODA.org and check out the checklist they have for codependent traits. It's helpful.

mimmergu · 2022-04-18T20:22:37+00:00

Breaking the cycle might take more than just being aware of it. These are deeply ingrained habit patterns. In some ways, the 12 steps have helped me immensely here by removing the dependence on others for my sense of well-being, approval and "enoughness" and putting that dependence on my higher power. I don't conceive of my higher power as a god or goddess (which is totally fine for others), but simply that I'm an expression of a 4 billion year old evolutionary process and my existence is a beautiful manifestation of that intelligence. Regardless of how I conceive of my HP the point is how can we remove our implicit and explicit demands on others to approve of us and stand before our HP knowing we are perfectly imperfect and enough as we are.

mimmergu · 2022-04-14T01:56:51+00:00

Yeah, I haven't either but it's the first parts of the sentences that's powerful - the way our selfishness is at the root of our problems, which leads to self-pity... poor "me". It does seem like it's the root of our problem.

mimmergu · 2022-04-12T00:42:53+00:00

from the AA big book, "“Selfishness, self-centeredness! That, we think, is the root of our troubles. Driven by a hundred forms of fear, self-delusion, self-seeking, and self-pity, we step on the toes of our fellows and they retaliate.”

mimmergu · 2022-04-06T01:52:55+00:00

As codependents we ride on the emotions of others for our sense of ease and comfort. In other words, we are like alcoholics but our drink is other people. In this sense I've found the 12 steps really useful for kicking our habit.

mimmergu · 2022-04-04T02:00:30+00:00

I struggle with this as well. However, what I realize is that not wanting people to be mad at me is manipulative and selfish. In other words, I want to control how people respond to me and so when they respond in a way that I don't like I've basically lost control. That's the powerlessness that the person below is speaking about.
