anxious attachment, codependency, fawning. three different words for basically the same experience: your nervous system learned that someone else’s emotions were more important to track than your own
fawning shows up as “did i do something wrong.” anxious attachment shows up as “are we okay.” codependency shows up as “what do they need from me.” different questions, same loop. you outsourcing yourself to keep the relationship intact
here’s the part that actually matters though. the label isn’t the healing. you can spend years figuring out which one fits and still be doing the exact same thing, managing everyone else’s experience of you instead of actually showing up in your own life
healing this isn’t about the diagnosis. it’s about learning to notice your own answer before you go looking for theirs
work with me to uncover the pattern and start choosing yourself. dm me “soulcare” 🫶🏻
