Over-apologizing or failing to apologize both have the ability to hurt your reputation and lead to problems in relationships.

Codependency is when two people in a relationship are dependent or reliant on one another. This type of behavior can lead to unhealthy and dysfunctional patterns in a relationship.

You often feel like you're unworthy of love. It's very hard for you to put yourself out there because you tend to have a fear of rejection. Dating apps, first dates, and relationships don't come as easily for you as they seem to for your family and friends.

In healthy relationships, there's a balance between the partners. A codependent relationship tends to have an imbalance of power. Typically, one person in the relationship will put in more time, energy, and effort compared to the other person.

When you first think about being codependent on others, it may not seem as if it is a bad thing. After all, we all need to rely on others to some degree.

At first glance, focusing on others may seem like the trait of a really good friend, but codependency takes it further and can cause imbalances in one's life, especially in relationships.
