Self-love instead of emotional dependency is a topic that is very close to my heart. I used to often look for validation and love from other people. My self-esteem depended heavily on other people's opinions. It was only when I met my dual soul that I realized that I was suffering from emotional dependency.
But then I started to explore the concept of self-love. I realized that I can give myself the love and recognition that I have expected from others for so long. I have learned to accept myself and give myself the attention I need. It was a long process, but over time I noticed how my life changed.
Self-love is an ongoing process that I am still working on. There are always moments when I criticize myself or have doubts about myself.
Here are some tips that can help you let go of your emotional dependency.
1. Self-reflection: Take time to reflect on yourself and understand why you are emotionally dependent. Ask yourself what needs or insecurities you are trying to fulfill through other people.
2. Set boundaries: Learn to set healthy boundaries and communicate your own needs. Be aware of your limits and learn to say "no" if you don't want something or something that doesn't work for you.
3. Self-Care: Focus on self-care and self-love.
4. Seek support: Seek professional support if you notice that you are having difficulty freeing yourself from emotional dependency. A therapist or coach can help you recognize your patterns and develop strategies to overcome them.
