Trying to stay afloat in codependent thinking

Yesterday I was alone in the kitchen washing dishes and listening to some music I was really enjoying, but in the front of my mind was "I should turn this off in case my partner comes in and doesn't like the music." In no way has my partner ever expressed anything like this to me. They are not controlling, or abusive in any way. That's just how small I feel I need to make myself. That's how I've always been, and it is not until recently that I am recognizing my own codependent thoughts.

Just my codependent thought of the day.
