Guilt. Shame. Repressed anger. Low self-esteem. Compromising
your own values to avoid another person's rejection or anger. Those are just a
few red flags of codependence. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.webmd.com/sex-relationships/features/signs-of-a-codependent-relationship?src=RSS_PUBLIC"><P>In some sense, all relationships are codependent, Cannon tells WebMD.
"Many people have what I call a 'low-grade infection.’ It's always there,
but they've been able to adapt to it, work around it. Others have the more
aggressive form -- they get more and more depressed, develop addictions and
relationship problems. They become self-destructive or unduly self-sacrificing.
They end up anxious, depressed, and suicidal." </P></blockquote><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http://clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px;" ><a href="http://clipmarks.com/clip-to-blog/" title="see clips that are hot right now"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/clip-icon.gif" alt="" width="19" height="19" border="0" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px 4px; display: inline; border: none; float:none;" /></a>clipped from <a title="http://www.webmd.com/sex-relationships/features/signs-of-a-codependent-relationship?page=2" href="http://www.webmd.com/sex-relationships/features/signs-of-a-codependent-relationship?page=2" style="font-size: 11px;">www.webmd.com</a></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.webmd.com/sex-relationships/features/signs-of-a-codependent-relationship?page=2"><P>As an adult, a codependent person has no sense of self, Weiss tells WebMD.
"Their whole life is spent in wildly swinging arcs to meet others'
expectations. If you're nice to me, I'm a good person. If you look at me funny,
I'm a bad person. I don't know who I am. I am incredibly dependent on other
people to tell me who I am."</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/B14F9763-288E-4221-9585-6FE7AF321479/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
