People who care for you will stay. No matter how bad circumstances turn out to be in the end they will show up. So they are worth keeping and you should too care for such people. Those who want to go they will go no matter how much ever effort you put to make them stay. By keeping them you will disrespect yourself. Do you want to invest your time, energy and emotions on people who don't want to bother you ? They are disrespecting you. And you are also disrespecting you by bothering them. So who will respect you. You will be taken for granted this way and a new disastrous feeling will emerge out of you seeking counselling for anxiety and depression. So first become independent in life. Be confident to live life without depending on someone else. If people leave then let them go. If you want to justify your side then justify right then but not every time. Do that just once. People keep coming and going in life. We cannot force people what they have to do.

Hi!💗
I had this feeling too, that everyone will leave me and I will stay alone in this world.
And it was really hard to get over this feeling, mostly because when I was feeling like this, I started to seclude myself too. And thus this feeling was getting deeper.
I think that you just will have to make yourself more sociable, and will have to talk to people with a great will. Also you would better search for best friends too. People always need people, so feel like as you need them they need you too. They need someone to talk, someone to be real friends with. And you need the same things too.
Feeling like this is making us only isolated, from my experience. But when you feel like people is part of you like they can be your best friends, you will make a bond and bond can't be broken easily.
So they won't leave you and you won't leave them.
I hope I expressed myself good and I really hope that it helps☺

Fear of abandonment is super common. I believe it stems from deep rooted issues from our childhood or past relationship experiences where we did not have our essential needs met.
I use meditation, self-Hypnotherapy and journaling to work through the anxiety, worrying and projecting onto others what it is I am thinking or feeling. Talking with a trained listener or therapist also helps to gain perspective and to be more and more aware of oneself and get to the root cause of this constant worry of belong left alone. Remember to love yourself- care for yourself and realize we are never really in control. If someone is going to leave then they will. You are ok, you are safe, and you will thrive regardless of what anyone else does. We are our own heroes!

This is a tough question and one that I think many people struggle with. I think the best advice I can give is to get to the root of this belief and ask yourself when was the first time you felt abandoned? How did that make you feel? What do you want to say to that person that made you feel that way? Let's use "I" statements to craft this message and see what those core feelings are then let's look and let's examine how you grown and what you have learned since this first incident happened. I am sure you will see that you have learned a lot since then-just keep reminding your self of the new and improved person you have become.

Figure out why you are feeling this way. Are you feeling this way due to not being about to see them, or are they ignoring you? Speak to your friends and family about how you're feeling. They can help you. The majority of the time the way you're feeling is due to self esteem issues. No one will leave you, i promise. Remember that you are valuable person, and that your value is not determined by appearance, how others treat you, your intelligence, sexuality, or race. If anyone is telling you this, they are toxic and are only trying to hurt you.

I used to feel that way all the time. A lot of different things can cause it, but for me it boils down to a fear that you are incapable of standing alone. So fix that! Right down a list of things you are scared to do, or things you've never done by yourself. Start with one, and tackle it. It sounds simple but it's incredibly hard. However in my experience, putting in the work to trust that I could function alone, without a SO or a best friend or a ___, changed my life. When I'm in a relationship, platonic or romantic, I now know when I deserve better and am capable of leaving for myself.

Feelings can be hard to manage when they become a habitual response. Sometimes just labeling a feeling really helps. Do you feel fearful, or anxious, or sad?
