I don't Im still afraid of it every day but I believe one day i will be able to find a way to get over that feeling. This feeling still scares me but I guess I learned to talk with the people I love and let them know how I felt. My parents are worried about this I take pills but I still can't get over my anxiety and depression this is one of those reason I can't shake that feeling so I try to laugh with those people I try to smile and I try to be with them so they know I love them

It sounds like something early on in your life made you feel like people who you love in life are going to leave you- have you spent time thinking about where you learned this? There is usually a reason our brains come back to the same thought patterns. And if it was a traumatic event, it might be a "survival feature" of your brain, trying to protect you. If you can do some work to figure out where you learned this thought/feeling, you may be able to recognize when current situations are bringing up this feeling from the past and label it as "that old pattern of feeling worried people will leave me again" and be able to distance yourself from it. It will take time and practice to learn to trust people and trust that they want to stay in your life as long as possible. I hope this helps a little bit.

the fear of getting hurt almost always gets you hurt. Why live a life in fear? you might get hurt but you also might live your best life and find someone who is truly amazing. are you sure you want to give up this kind of life only because your mind is playing with you? you risk some happy moments only because you think something bad could happen. it might not even happen at all. so your actions are based on probabilty. if they choose to leave you that means that they werent the right person for you in the first place. and remember that it is always better having no one than having fake people that furt you around you. What you dont change about your lifestyle you choose. do it wisely.

I use to struggle with this a lot and I'm sorry that you have to deal with this. Sometimes if a lot of people have left us, it makes us question ourselves and think that we're not good enough and maybe they left because of us!!! That's not true. I think if it seems like you have found people you are close to with now and you still feel that way- maybe try opening up with them and explained your feelings to them: they might help you and encourage you that'll they will always be there and try to help you so you can built trust and your feeling of being scared might start to fade... :) opening up to someone close that seems trustworthy often are trustworthy :P opening up helps

Recognize they will but that's life and new people will enter your life making it better. You deserve love and companionship. You deserve to be happy! Everyone dies. That is just part of life. You can enjoy the little things. The sunrise the snow even the storms. Life is a series or events we just live through and learn from. You can only rely on yourself. Your truth. I would say move but just love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love and then you die.

Try to remember times where you have felt affirmed by the people in your life, times where you felt loved or supported. It could be text messages, conversations, things they did for you, or times you spent together. And understand that those times were genuine. I also find it helpful to become more comfortable with being alone, learning to be alone but not necessarily feeling lonely. When you're not scared of being alone, the fear of everyone leaving goes away and it makes your relationships stronger because the constant worrying is gone. It also brings you comfort to know that even in the worst case scenario, you will be okay.

I have definitely felt this and I try not to ignore my feelings. I acknowledge them and try to figure out why I'm feeling them. It could be from a past experience, because of something someone said etc... Then I like to do some mindfulness that targets self confidence. I follow the steps provided in the mindfulness activity and do that regularly. I think the most important step is to understand why you're feeling those specific emotions. Fromm there you can change any negative feelings to positive ones. I'm no expert but I always try to recognize my emotions, listen to my body and and brainstorm on activities I think i could really benefit from.

Every feeling has an origin, some past event that triggered this deep fear you need to find what was your trigger and what are the small things that make you feel this. Once you find your trigger you can try convincing yourself by analysing it and telling yourself it was one time and if it happens again I will just pick myself up because I am the one who made myself if I have myself I will find new people I need to trust myself and try to enjoy my relationships. You can even try talking about this with your friend the one who you think can assure you which will give you a mental reassurance

I'm so sorry that you are feeling like that and I completely understand how you are feeling. It could be a hard and scary feeling. It may be due from past trauma in the past or just your mind telling your silly thoughts to scare you. First know, that sadly it is normal for someone people to leave your life but that also means new people to come into your life. Know that the people you have in your life love you and support you. Know that they are in your life for a reason and won't leave you randomly. Friends are here to always be there for you. Remember that friendships can last a long time and not everyone will leave you.

To get over the feeling that everyone is going to leave me, I think of how far I've come through the perseverance, tenacity and grit I have. I also think further upon this by remembering a few motivational phrases from speeches, "You didn't come this far, just to come this far," "How bad do you want it," and "Your life isn't over, every struggle is a new beginning." I remind myself I have manifested much through my lifetime and through this I find solitude in my struggle because the struggle leads to greatness. I also know from my childhood depression, you are never alone and when times are bleak and you feel alone, just remember that YOU MATTER.
