Understand that you are valuable, and people enjoy spending time with you and your presence people who leave you were not friends to begin with. If they truly care about you than they will not leave you. I understand this because I used to be scared that people would exit my life as well, but over time I have realized that if someone chooses to leave my life they were not really a friend, and we’re actually a negative part of my life. By realizing this I was able to understand that important people in your life will not leave you because they are not toxic or negative

Know that not everyone in your life is meant to be there with you forever. Frequently people are only in your life for a season, and that is okay. Know that the people you have around you right now are there to help build you up and teach you about yourself in the world around you. Reassure yourself that even if the people around you currently do leave you, there will be others that come in to take their place. Know what to look for in healthy friendships and relationships so that it is more likely that you form a long term connection, and work on building the relationships you currently have into healthy ones that will last a lifetime.

You have to think positive. No one is going to leave you. Your just feeling very anxious and that’s okay. You have to tell your friends and family or any other close person how your feeling and they can help you through this. Just think positive, no one is going to leave you. Remember that everyone loves you for who you are. It’s okay to have these feelings just know that there’s always gonna be someone who’s there for you now or in the future. Make sure to overcome this feeling that your having right now so you feel that your not alone.

In simple words, "People who care won't leave, and those who leave are not worth the pain and suffering you feel for them". If you are constantly worried that everyone is going to leave you, you should think about 'why you feel that way?' Why do you think you have to work hard for people to stay? Because real relationships/friendships happen when you can be your true self. Also, pay attention to the fact 'How much do you value yourself?' If your answer is 'not much'... maybe its time you understand that being happy with oneself is more important than making someone else happy and going overboard to keep them in your life. Slowly, you'll learn who among your closed ones can truly accept you just the way you are.

whenever you get feelings of doubt that you are now good enough, tell yourself simply "STOP, enough" I LOVE MYSELF. I AM ENOUGH if someone is leaving you, its more for their disadvantage and u just didnt found the person that fits to you. you are a perfect being. just stop doubting yourself. thats the only thing holding u back to spread your wings and unleashing your full potential. it sounds so easy, because it is so easy. stop making yourself down. and from a different perspective, who wants to be with someone who always doubt himself. so step up, set a new standard and enjoy life stronger and more grateful than u ever did before.

Me and you both, dear. In a lot of cases people did end up leaving me, and sometimes I acted out of fear and ended up leaving them. I was terrified of being abandoned. Now I am in a place in my life where I am looking at supports and strategies that will help me develop healthy relationships all around. Counseling can sometimes bring resources that we don't realize exist. It's just a matter of finding the resources that are in your area, to help you through challenges that may arise. 7cups can be a great resource but not the only one out there.

though some people will leave you, chances are not everyone will. Just be yourself, stay open and honest. Try focusing your thoughts on something different, like deep breathing, breath slowly and deeply through your nose and out your mouth. Also try reading, coloring, listen to music or take a walk, or a hot bubble bath. Or talk to someone who you really trust and be honest with them on how you are feeling. They may surprise you and put your worries at ease. Also seeing a therapist would also help you with those thoughts.

These feelings are really common for people who have been hurt and let down in their past, from their childhood or friendships and relationships as adults. I think to talk about these emotions and to understand them is a really positive step forward. Not many people can be free from these kinds of emotions and fear of loneliness, it tends to be at the core of most humans. But with talking and self development these feelings can be more manageable. Neediness in relationships is a consequence of this feeling but it's OK to be needy sometimes, we are all human so self acceptance is also really important.

You need to ask yourself why you feel this way. What happened in your life which made you have these views. This could manifest in the form of a break down in relationship, isolation from bullying, a death of someone close to you or perhaps you or someone close took ill and have a fear of being left on your own. However more often than not we develop abandonment theories due to adverse childhood experiences. This could be a parent not always being there for us whenever we are young. Whether this is a parent always working away or turbulent relationship between our parents which resulted in not seeing one parent for a period of time. Our adult self would be able to process this situation however whenever we are a matter of months of years old we aren't to know if they will return. This can later cause anxiety and fear that everyone is going to leave you and that you will be alone.

I find that I like to right down the people who care about me. I like to write down the qualities I find positive about myself, and the actual likelihood that these people are going to leave me, since most times, it's slim to none. I also find meditating on these issues helps me a lot, as well as pending time with these people I'm worried about leaving me. Also, talking to these people about your leaving worries can be a big help, especially if these people are fairly mature and understanding, they can usually give you a lot of peace of mind this way.
