Codependency Support Group
Codependency is defined as someone who exhibits too much, and often inappropriate, caring for another person's struggles. A codependent person may try to change, or feel shame about their most private thoughts and feelings if they conflict with the other person's struggles. If you are on a journey towards self-love, this support group is for you. Join us and find others...
Hi All,
As some of you might have read it in my previous post, I've fallen in love with a girl. Now I have the impression that this is only the illusion of love. I'll tell you why.
I've become to open up very easily lately. Most of my close friends know about my codependency and porn addiction. I talk about these things very easily now. And whenever I open up to someone, I fell like I want to hug that person and say "I love you". But how the hell is that possible and why is it? What is this feeling and how can I confuse it with love?
So I'm afraid the same thing might have happened to me with this girl. I opened up to her very quickly and deeply and whatever I felt I thought it was love but now I think it is something else. I've managed to distance myself from her at some degree, dismiss the pink fog and clear my head out, and I don't feel it so strongly now.
I have this feeling toward my therapist and people and I've opened up to.
As I've got to know this girl, I think she's probably fallen into the same illusion trap, she just doesn't know it.
What is this feeling and why do I feel it? How does it work?
Thank you, guys.

I don't EXCUSE myself like this personally.
If I have a bad habit I work to replace such thoughts with positives like,
"I choose to experience life to the full."
You DO have the choice to think and experience. There is freedom in allowing yourself the right to all your feelings.
It's all about mindfulness and retraining our brains.
Differentiating between what the feelings are, is the problem.
Good job for recognizing this about yourself so that you can start see king resolution.
God Bless
