Savior Complex
The "Savior Complex" refers to a psychological condition where an individual feels a strong need to rescue or help others, often at the expense of their own well-being. This behavior can stem from a desire for validation or a belief that they are responsible for others' happiness. People with this complex may take on the role of a caregiver, even when their help is not needed or wanted.
This complex can lead to unhealthy relationships, as the individual may neglect their own needs and boundaries. It can also create dependency in those they aim to help, making it difficult for them to develop their own coping skills. Recognizing and addressing the Savior Complex is essential for fostering healthier interactions and personal growth.
