People get dependent on one another. They rely too much on someone or the others for approval. They search for their identity in others recognition. This is codependency. It hurts life. We are programmed for freedom. The spirit realizes itself in independence. Codependency is dysfunctional, one-sided relationship where one person relies on the other for meeting nearly all of their emotional and self-esteem needs.
