Do You Have a Fear of Abandonment?👇🏾

Fear of abandonment is the overwhelming but unwarranted fear that people you love will leave you physically or emotionally.

Symptoms include:

*Attaching quickly even to unavailable partners or relationships.

*Fail to commit fully and have had very few long-term relationships.

*Move on quickly just to ensure that you don't get too attached.

*Aim to please and engage in people-pleasing behaviors.

*Engage in unwanted s*x (this is common in women).

*Staying in relationships no matter how unhealthy they are.

*Struggle with being hard to please and nitpicky.

*Have difficulty experiencing emotional intimacy.

*Feel insecure and unworthy of love.

*Feel wary and find it hard to trust people.

The fear of abandonment can have a devastating effect on relationships. It can leave you struggling to form new attachments and trust others. This fear can also cause you to reject others before they have a chance to reject you. While this can be a serious problem, you can also use strategies to overcome your fear.

Self-compassion and building a sense of belonging are important, but therapy is often the most effective option ✨️

You have such a good spirit. Hopefully, you will meet someone who won't emit that fear of abandonment if you haven't already met them.

I’ve dealt with that from a child I didn’t realize it till later in life when I reread my journal and read two conversations I had with source I ripped them out and it has lingered with me attachment im working on a book about it it’s very deep hopefully it will because a movie but I can assure you this I will never leave you because you are me and I am you the energized connection can never be apart they work in universal alignment

One of my kids struggles hard with this - BPD and physical issues. He was the victim of SA and a subsequent coverup/suppression by our old church (AoG, for those who think this only happens in Catholic churches). He seemed fine and healthy from 5yo (discovery) to about puberty.
The body really does remember. He's an adult and will struggle in some ways for the rest of his life. I'm also so proud of the progress he's fought hard to make. His SO is amazing.

Yeah. I tried to figure out if I am like that but I don’t think I am. Mines normally is they leave because I am too out spoken about what they’re not giving me in return. So I get to calling things out and they don’t like it. I know I love hard and it just never seems to be reciprocated.
