Definition:
Codependent ek aisa vyakti hota hai jo apni khushi aur pehchaan kisi aur—jaise ek narcissist—ke approval aur attention se paata hai. Ye log dusron ki needs ko itna zyada prioritize karte hain ki apni identity kho dete hain. Narcissists aksar codependent logo ka fayda uthate hain.
Example:
- Ek codependent partner baar-baar abusive narcissist ko maaf karta hai sirf is dar se ki vo use chhod na de.
- Jab narcissist rude ya unfair hota hai, to codependent apne aap ko hi blame karta hai: “Shayad meri wajah se uska mood kharab tha.”
