Do you suffer from emotional dependence? Learn to get out of it

Affectively depending on the partner - and in general on a person - is not an indication of love, but often of low self-esteem, insecurity and obsessive tendency.

This should not scare you, it is very common, but it is also good to acknowledge it - without blaming yourself - and try to get out of this situation that leads you to depend completely on another person.

Psychologists in this regard believe that this behavior highlights a "need to possess" the other, which leads to sacrifice for love, canceling oneself and doing the impossible in order to maintain the relationship.

Before proceeding, here is a video that shows you some virtuous attitudes that can help you get out of emotional addiction, becoming stronger and more aware of yourself.

But what are the signs that indicate an emotional dependence?

1. Lack of autonomy

You feel trapped and caged in a relationship that pushes you to obey the other for fear of being abandoned.

2. No enrichment

Your relationship is flat, without stimuli and there is no significant emotional exchange.

3. Unhappiness

You feel weak, impoverished and unhappy. Or, also, you are the victim of psychological and / or physical violence.

Do you recognize yourself in this picture? You can get out of it. Like?

1. Confront

Talk to friends, exchange opinions and experiences; you will begin to see your relationship with different eyes and understand what is wrong.

2. Listen to yourself

Start paying attention to yourself, listening to your wishes and not underestimating what makes you happy, first of all.

3. Ask for help

You don't have to be ashamed, hide, blame yourself. It is useless and it is not right that you are so hard on yourself. Rather, contact a psychotherapist who will help you regain autonomy, security and self-esteem.
