- Codependency involves losing your sense of self by tying your worth to another's happiness or approval.
- This leads to people-pleasing, ignoring your feelings, and neglecting boundaries.

- Oversharing deep personal struggles early in dating signals poor emotional boundaries, not genuine connection.
- This is often a sign of blurred boundaries from dysfunctional family backgrounds.

- This reflects low self-esteem and transactional views of love, not healthy attachment.
