One of the symptoms of low self-confidence is codependency.

A codependent person tends to forget himself and focuses on the problems of others. Want to rescue the others but as you deny yourself, live fustrate and resentful. The codependent is afraid of being abandoned by it believes it's better to feel needed.

Causes of codependency

Some causes of codependency are:

2.Was raised in a family where addiction problems were resolved such as drugs or alcohol.

3.Where avoided discussions, they waited for perfection, repressed feelings. And the famous mentality: "Do what I say but not what I do".

4.Or where for some reason, one of the members failed to take his role, and this role was occupied by someone ( codependent now) who assumed responsibilities that did not belong, being the development of the person caught in the moment that this happened.

Some symptoms of codependent:


• A strong need to give more than they receive. Think others are more important. They feel fear of abandonment then try to please everyone. The needs of others are more important than theirs.

• They are easily hurt if no one reconize theirs efforts. They always say after what I did .... ".
This behavior arises because they feed their self-confidence to feel needed and recognized by others. Codependents seek constant approval of others. If not recognized become resentful and insecure.

• Always feel guilty when they are assertive and express their thoughts and feelings. Very deeply think, should not have said that ... How are afraid of being abandoned or rejected, they think if they express their feelings and others do not like it, leave. Codependent people think they have to be submissive and passive. Devalue themselves, lowering their self-confidence to prevent rejection.
