Codependency is a term used to describe a relationship in which one person is overly dependent on the other. Codependent people often have low self-esteem and feel the need to control or rescue their partner. They may also have difficulty setting boundaries or saying no.
Interdependency, on the other hand, is a term used to describe a relationship in which two people are independent but choose to be together. Interdependent people have healthy self-esteem and are able to meet their own needs. They also respect each other's boundaries and are able to communicate effectively.
Here are some of the key differences between codependency and interdependency:
- Codependent people are often attracted to people who are needy or have problems.** They may feel the need to fix or rescue their partner, even if it's not healthy for them. Interdependent people, on the other hand, are attracted to people who are healthy and independent.
- Codependent people often have difficulty setting boundaries.** They may feel like they need to do everything for their partner, even if it's not their responsibility. Interdependent people are able to set healthy boundaries and say no when they need to.
- Codependent people often have difficulty communicating effectively.** They may avoid conflict or try to control their partner. Interdependent people are able to communicate their needs and wants in a clear and respectful way.
