They are emotionally unavailable. They have poor self-concept. They are dependent on external validation. They operate from a zone of shame and guilt.   Signs of Co-dependency: Self-sacrifice. A desire to control one's partner. The constant inclination to focus on others. Difficulty identifying and expressing feelings. Valuing the approval of a loved one over their own self-acceptance. Being loyal to a fault. Avoiding rejection by jeopardizing one's own values. Refusing to compromise. Taking on one's partner's feelings as if they were their own. Becoming resentful when someone doesn't accept one's help.   3 Stages of Co-dependency: The Consumption Stage The Self-Abandonment Stage The Self-Rejection Stage   How to break the cycle of co-dependency: Seek couple's therapy.
