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.

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.
