Hmm, there seems to be a few different views on this issue. I can see how helping people that really should be doing those things themselves is detrimental to them, but I don’t see how that makes my own middos worse. On the other hand, G-d wants us to help people, so no matter what the circumstance, wouldn’t G-d be happy we are helping people?

s2021, I looked up some characteristics of codependency, and thankfully, I don’t follow most of the codependency patterns. There are a couple single attributes that I do have, but I don’t think they are very serious. But I might talk to a professional about it, just to be sure. Thanks so much for bringing it up.
