How do I get over feeling that everyone is going to leave me?

I remind myself of how many people love and care about me. I make a tangible list to show myself, and pick out specific events in my life that remind me who loves me. In life we have many well wishers and sometimes we need to sit down and remind ourselves of this fact.

I don't think a person can get over feelings as such, its more a sense of no longer feeling like you need to rely on that feeling to survive. I find the best way to move on from a feeling like everyone is going to leave is to be aware that you are in control of your life and your future and no one else should be your prioritised source of happiness and reassuring yourself and having others around you reassuring you that you have done nothing wrong, you are a good person to be in the company of.

I don't know how to fully resolve that feeling but I hope that I can at least help. I too experience a fear of abandonment and am terrified of being alone. I'm afraid that my boyfriend, friends, and family will leave me one day to the point where it doesn't seem healthy. I just feel really sensitive over certain things that most other people wouldn't think twice about, and whenever a friend expresses the need for space, I would sometimes think that they do not like me. Sometimes, this fear of abandonment can be realistic and valid and sometimes it's not; really, we probably aren't as alone as we think we are. Once you realize that, you might start to feel a little better about yourself. Also, it is good to get used to enjoying your own company and to be comfortable in your own skin. Do things by yourself because really, you're the only one who you can confide in the most. The worst thing you can do is to abandon yourself.

Have FAITH in yourself. You are the best friend you have and you can do so much for yourself with so much love and care. When you love and are comfortable with yourself, you would certainly not worry about people leaving you, actually it might just end up with people around you worrying whether you might leave them. That's how valuable and wonderful you will be as you grow seeds of faith and tender loving care for yourself.

People come in and out of your life and will continue to do so for the eternity of it, but every single person brings new ideas, and new lessons to be learned. Some are meant to stay longer than others and some are only there for a couple days, hours, mins... However... no matter how many people wonder to and from, you are the most important person you will ever know. Always remember to take care of yourself first and foremost so you're always putting your best foot forward. Stop thinking that everyone in your life is 'going to leave'! You can't hoard people like materialistic things silly!~ Just remember to be grounded with yourself, and the rest will come naturally! xoxo

You remain as hopeful as you possibly can. Yes, I know this can be suuuper hard but even if some of those hopes are diminished you gotta keep hoping. After awhile doing that will become a habit and others will read off your "vibes", possibly becoming more attracted to you. Maybe even telling those you care about how you feel about the fear of them possibly leaving can bring relief. Just remember that if they weren't meant to stay in your life forever they aren't worthy of your time.

Just remember one thing, that people who come in our lives come for a reason and stay with us as long as they are supposed to. When their role comes to an end in our life's journey they make an exit. Therefore, one should not get disheartened about losing someone dear but instead be grateful to them for sharing some precious years/time of their lives with us.

It is always good to remember that you are not alone. Even if it feels like it, I can assure you that someone, somewhere out there wants to be with you.

It is so so important that you keep reminding yourself you are worthy, you are enough, you are precious and people leaving you are probably not worth worrying about. It's sad that loyalty is such a rarely found quality nowadays, but you can't beat yourself up about the actions of someone who clearly doesn't appreciate you the way you deserve it. If they see your true beauty and radiance, they will stick around you no matter what. And if they don't, they're not worth it. It's important you know, no matter what happens, whoever may come and go, no matter who will stay, the one person who never loses faith in you and will always be loyal to you and knows your worth is YOU. ♥

You need to reach out to the people who is closest to you and talk about that feeling of abandonment. Reassurance is a powerful thing, but you also need to understand that people who have been kind to you and feel the need to have contact with you truly appreciate your company.

Acceptance. It's a very long process, I believe no one really get over on this part. It's just we learn to live and to accept that nothing is permanent on this world because life is a continuous process. To have something to believe in, makes it easier to cope on this emotions.

Surround yourself with people that accept you, that accept that you have insecurities, but who also try to make it better. Don't be afraid to talk to a therapist, or ask for ( if needed) medication. Keep a journal, and record happy memories.

From my experience, people often fill in each others words. They assume that they know what other people think or feel. We are often wrong, and don't actually know how loved we are. Just because you cannot always see it, doesn't mean it isn't there. There is always someone who cares for you.

Start by looking for evidence. Look around for people who have been with you. Understand that not everyone will be there with you till the end but that doesn't make the times they were there for you any less important. It's okay when people leave. Emphasize on the beautiful time you spent when they were there for you. The only person who will be there for you throughout is yourself. And that is completely okay.

Spend some time building up self-confidence. Feelings of abandonment may come from feelings of inadequacy after all. Acknowledge your strengths, and don't push aside your weaknesses. Accept your flaws for what they are, you don't need to try to be a perfect person, and embrace yourself for your pros and give yourself credit for those traits.

Low self esteem, low self-love creates the anxiety in us that other people do not consider it worthwhile staying with us and will leave us soon or later. Seeing our good sides and learning to appreciate how we are will give us a feeling of "value" and reduce the fear that everybody is going to leave us.

If you are afraid of someone leaving it could help reminding yourself that the people that are truly there for you will never leave. It is important to let the people who want to go, go. This makes the relationships that do work all the more special.

Well usually when you have that feeling, its because you have experience people are gonna leave you. So you may have been in in healthy relationships beforehand, which can cause emotional scarring. The ultimate thing to realize is there are 7.5 billion people in the world, not all are gonna be like that. Its best to make friend and allow them to slowly earn your trust, to find better relationship.

Accept that even if this does happen, you'll survive. You're a strong person and can adapt to new situations, I'm sure, so even in the worst case scenario you'd be able to move on and rebuild a positive life for yourself. When you've accepted this, you're more able to step back and take an objective look at the situation. Why are you feeling like this? Has something happened, or is it just paranoia? When you're looking objectively, you'll be able to either dismiss that paranoia or work on the issues causing these feelings.

The way that I get over this feeling is by finding someone who I really care about and trust (it can even be an animal!) and just talking with them. Being around people or things that I enjoy/care about always helps.

Abandonment issues are something people get over and sometimes people don't. You may have to start teaching yourself why you feel that way and how you can get yourself to be more independent, if independence is an issue. Ask yourself questions like "when, how or why did I start feeling like everyone is going to leave me?". Also, the question is, has everyone left you or is it an irrational fear? a possible mental illness or did everyone really leave you? These are questions to consider. You aren't alone in the feeling.

Well, it's unlikely that everyone is going to leave you. Those are just your fears and anxieties, but they can be very real inside our minds. They manifest themselves in making us do things we don't have to, just so our fears don't come true. People who care a lot about you won't leave you, even in your most dire times of need.

In life people come and go. Some stay, some leave. There are important people in your life that will stay with you the whole way, but thats just life, some leave. Together we have to accept the fact that people come and go, we make memories and keep the good people. Not everybody is going to leave you. The first step is acceptance. Find the people that make you happy, and focus on them. Do things that you love with the people you love. Keep yourself distracted with positive thoughts. :)

Fear of abandonment is a common an natural fear we all have. When this fear is overwhelming often it relates to a belief about ourselves based on how others have treated us in relationships whether intentionally or otherwise. Sometimes, this belief needs some healing so that we don't continually push people away or hold on so tight for fear they will leave us.

You don't, that's the simple answer. You can't read their minds or predict what they're going to do. What you do know though is that humans are social creatures that naturally seek out relationships with other humans so the chances of you being left is shockingly low. No one wants to accidentally strand themselves by abandoning their friends.

Many things can be solved by learning to love yourself. This is one of those things. You need to become comfortable enough with yourself that you don't need anyone else. Of course as humans we are social creatures but it takes strength to be able to survive on your own.

Learn to be independent and stand on your own! You will feel great about yourself and attract like minded people and build healthy relationships.

It is hard to make relationships when you feel this way, because you're terrified anyone you're connected to emotionally will eventually leave. I suppose it would help the longer people where with you, and making several friends, so you can be more confident you'll probably always have someone, even if another may leave.

You have to accept that, that is how life is. Make every day an adventure filled with education and fun (yes, you can have both) so you have no regrets. Spend time with the people you love (or think you hate, sometimes you don't) before they're gone. Make it all worthwhile and in the end, you would have done everything could have and that's what matters.

Convince yourself that you are important for the people in your life, and that they will lose someone precious by leaving you ... so they won't :)
