Brilliant explanation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mc3gRqRPlJU. I heard that word often but did not know its meaning. What really struck me:
You feel responsible for the other person's happiness. You are constantly giving advice to your close ones but it's because you feel a compulsive need to do it. You adjust your mood to other people's mood, that's why you feel the need to control how other people feel in order to control your own mood. You often appear as controlling to others in general. What other people say has the power to change your reality, that's why you are very reactive and often do not listen to what people say and become defensive very fast. You use dysfunctional communication - you are afraid to say what you really mean, not to upset someone, so you get misunderstood constantly. And, denial. Denial that anything is wrong even when something feels clearly wrong.
