I'm the "glue" of my friend group but am I gluing us together or am I just codependently forcing connection that would naturally fade? Analyze my role: what do I do? What happens if I stop? Do they actually need me or do I need to be needed? Then expose: being the glue means facilitating organic connection; codependent organizing is forcing people together because your identity depends on it. Map my "glue" activities and reality-check: am I responding to actual desire for connection or am I just making plans no one else would make? Show me where I'm serving the group vs. where I'm serving my need to be needed. Include: what would happen if I stopped organizing, whether they're my friends or my dependents, and if I'm the glue or just controlling the narrative.
