The Definition of High Functioning Codependency

High functioning codependency refers to being overly invested in the feelings, outcomes, relationships, and circumstances of others to the detriment of one's internal peace, financial well-being, and physical or spiritual well-being. The term 'high functioning' is added to highlight the fact that many individuals who exhibit codependent behavior may appear to be successful or in control, making it hard to identify the issue.
