You are Codependent.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/great-codependency-hoax-codependent.htm\">codependent personality<\/a> means you take your sense of self worth from pleasing others. Your need to be liked will drive you headlong into relationships.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You will also choose partners who have problems you can &#8216;fix&#8217;<\/strong>, such as addictions or trouble with intimacy. In order to prove to your object of affection you are &#8216;good for them&#8217;, you will act in intense ways that again mean things go too fast.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #800080;\">2. You are counterdependent.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The flip side of codependency, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/what-is-counterdependency.htm\">counterdependency <\/a>means you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/fear-of-intimacy.htm\">fear real intimacy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>While it might sound like a counterdependent would be the least likely to rush into love, it will be very intense codependent types who can convince you to give love a whirl in the first place. In their need to have you trust them, codependents can manipulate things into going very fast.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>And when, as a counterdependent, you finally decide to open up? You might find you are possessive and demanding<\/strong>, meaning you, too, force things along.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #800080;\">3. You have an anxious attachment style.<\/span><\/h3>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/attachment-theory-bowlby.htm\">Attachment theory<\/a> states that in order to grow into adults with healthy relating styles, we need to have a reliable connection, or &#8216;attachment&#8217;, with a caregiver as a child.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div id=\"attachment_16633\" style=\"width: 272px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16633\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-16633\" src=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/wp-content\/uploads\/466600597_b86b7fc676-1-262x400.jpg\" alt=\"moving too fast in relationships\" width=\"262\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/wp-content\/uploads\/466600597_b86b7fc676-1-262x400.jpg 262w, https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/wp-content\/uploads\/466600597_b86b7fc676-1.jpg 328w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 262px) 100vw, 262px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-16633\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">By: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/pixel_addict\/466600597\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\" \">Pixel Addict<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>If this doesn&#8217;t take place \u2013 if our caregiver is not able to provide consistent love and safety<\/strong> \u2013 we end up adults with problematic &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/attachment-styles.htm\">attachment styles&#8217; of relating<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8216;Anxious attachment&#8217; can leave you so worried about<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/the-private-hell-of-rejection-why-does-it-keep-happening-to-you.htm\">rejection<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/fear-of-abandonment.htm\">abandonment<\/a> you become dependent too quickly.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #800080;\">4.

The end result is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/core-beliefs-cbt.htm\">core belief<\/a> that you must win love instead of just deserving love for who you are. <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>As an adult you might then find you are so focussed on being what others want, the people you date quickly suck you into their <\/strong>wants and needs before you even know what has happened. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #800080;\">5. You lack boundaries.<\/span><\/h3>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/healthy-boundaries.htm\">Personal boundaries <\/a>are the limits we set on how people can and can&#8217;t treat us.

You aren&#8217;t even sure who you are.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>For some of us it&#8217;s quite hard to know where others end and we begin.<\/strong> This means when you meet another person you very quickly mould yourself to the other person&#8217;s interests and ideas.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Or it could mean that you are so reliant on others for a sense of self that you jump into things, because it&#8217;s only with others you feel you really exist at all. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/who-am-i-identity-crisis.htm\">Lacking a sense of self <\/a>again comes from a childhood where you were taught to be pleasing.
