How do i help my codependent Friend?

Question

I have been friends with someone for 10 months.At first i overlooked her actions, now i relise that she is Codependent, How can i help?

Answer 1

What makes her so codependent buddy? Mister future psychologist of amerca? Don't put labels like that on a person unless you've got the rest of the equation. Thats an over used word that basically means that she puts people frist to herself. Is that a bad thing? Only when you let bad people do it. Now sense we know more about the harmfulness of the disorder you claim she has, the best fix is to educate her on what kind of people are worth trusting, and also help her to see how she has to draw a line with herself so that people can't completely push her around. In other words teach her to drop her ballz and realize if she is going to fight for people, she better be able to fight for herself first. Going to be hard ether way because with out given a person a purpose your really not doing much to help them in the frist place, which is why the counciling and psychology fields are BS..... but I won't get into that here......
