The Role of Needs in Relationships

It's very common for two people that are codependent to be attracted together. That then exacerbates it because if you both feel far more comfortable kind of having a role of putting all your focus on that person's happiness. One person needs the other to fulfill X, Y, and Z, and the other needs to be needed, needs that emotional validation. So there's needs on both sides. And I think that's the thing like for people who are kind of aware they've been coddependent in the past and trying to get better is scary.
