Facing Attachment Issues: Emily Laing on Codependency and Friendships

I feel like if I leave someone to their own devices for a bit. Otherwise, why would they keep me around, useless sack of shit that I am?
Ever felt like your friendships are a rollercoaster of emotions? Emily Laing gets it. In this episode of 'Why Do You Think You've Got No Friends?', Emily dives into the tricky waters of attachment issues and codependency, especially when living with borderline personality disorder (BPD). She opens up about her own struggles with extreme attachment and abandonment fears, painting a vivid picture of what it's like to feel unworthy of love and friendship.
Emily doesn't just talk about the problems; she also shares the tough reality of setting and respecting boundaries. How do you let go when someone is angry at you? How do you stop trying to control their emotions? These are questions Emily wrestles with, offering a raw and honest look at the difficulty of acceptance. She also touches on the manipulative side of fawning—an often subconscious response to trauma.
By the end, you'll have a deeper understanding of how these issues can shape your relationships and what steps you can take to navigate them. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with attachment issues or codependency, offering both empathy and practical advice.
