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

I know a little but of what you're going through. I am constantly worrying that I will eventually separate from my closest friends, or forget about the ones I am closest to because we will separate from each other. I know, it's a scary thought. However, think of it like this. If you are fated to meet someone, one day that person will meet you no matter what. If you are fated to love someone and spend life with that person, you will meet that person. If you are fated to leave someone, or stay with someone, that too will also happen. Fate decided all, and fate will always happen one way or another for your own good. Somehow this always comforts me and makes me feel a little better when I am thinking of depressing thoughts or things like this. I hope this will also help you. Good luck!

I think it's definitely a worrying feeling. You never know what somebody's true intentions/feelings are. However, you can't always assume the worst. (Easier said than done) There will probably be at multiple times in your life where people come and go. In a way it can be kind of a nice balance. Trying to manage being around to many people can end up being stressful in the end. You just have to try the best that you yourself can do to keep people in your life that you want to, and if they're worth having in your life they will give back as much effort. If you assume somebody is going to leave you as soon as you meet them it could effect how you interact with them and then you never really get a chance to have that authentic experience with them. Giving people a chance can be good or bad, just know that if they put in no effort towards the relationship you have, then maybe you are better off without them.

Life is short; things and people will come and go from your life, sadly there is nothing much you can do regarding this. Just know that this is all of a common purpose. If you are religious, you may believe that the all mighty up there has a plan for you. Either way, I believe, that everything is bound to happen for a reason. Dont stress too much regarding what will happen in the future, live in the present, live today. The people who trully deserve your presence in their life will be present throughout it. You may not notice this at first, but when you slow down, and breathe for a while, you will realise all the things you have taken for granted.

Well, do self-assessment. Find out when this feeling occurs; does it happen when you are with a particular person? Or just when you are alone? Or just after you've encountered particular type of experience? Dig the context. Then, find a day you are clear headed and analyze the belief behind your feeling: do you really think everyone will leave you? Will they? What makes you believe so? Is there something very biased about this feeling? Could there be any alternative thought to the context that led you to this conclusion? If things look very foggy and you couldn't make through it, take help of a mental health professional. Best of luck.

Focus on building positive relationships with people but do not base your self worth on them!! It’s so easy to do this but you are not alone. For example, sometimes we get insecure because we look at the people around us and let our insecurities cloud our judgment, making us think super negatively. You have to remind yourself that you are loved, everyone isn’t going to leave you, and the people around you value your relationships with them. I’m an overthinker too! But I remind myself, that i’m worth more than I realise and I will not let my insecurities rule/ruin my life.

You got to love yourself. Which is difficult sometimes. Neediness can cause people to feel exhausted. You got to be sure of yourself and be comfortable during times when you are alone. Confidence helps and being ok with yourself. Childhood might make a difference too. If your parents always held you, that's a good thing. If you've had childhood trauma it might be good to work that out. People get busy and it's nothing personal. If people know you are there for them, they will be there for you. If you can add value to their lives by being kind and loving, everything should be ok

Be the source of your happiness: It's the most terrible thing to depend on any kind of outer source for your happiness. If someone stays with me I'll be good. Bad habit. I had similar issue. I was praise oriented. I used to judge my performance & looks by people's opinion. Sometimes I was very happy but mostly it was very depressing. Also I've lived in three different cities so I'd to leave many friends but I had to. The key is never depend on any outer source for your happiness. Be the source of your pleasure. I've some projects & I've some friends for those projects but even if they refuse to be with me I'll pursue my goals because it's my life & my happiness and I'm responsible form my happiness.

Being able to trust them is important. And believing that no everyone is the same. Some people want to stay in your life and love you. It is nice to remind yourself that they love you. They will also show you through their behavior, gestures like make food for you or help you with something. Take notice of those things. It might also be useful to write about what you are glad about for instance your relationship with others etc everyday when you wake up in the morning. It will provide you with constant reminder. In the end, you should try to trust.

It can be hard to get over the feeling that everyone is going to leave you. The fear of abandonment is a very deep seated and fundamental (but also common) fear. If you are struggling with the fear of abandonment, abandonment anxiety, separation anxiety, or other abandonment issues, therapy may be able to help. Therapy can get to the root of the issue and identify coping skills and strategies for better management of these feelings in day-to-day life. Other options include building and maintaining healthy self esteem, striving for a robust support network, practicing emotional responsibility, practicing mindfulness meditation, and/or reflecting on how and why abandonment impacts you as it does. It may seem like a lot of work initially, but you are worth it!

Start investing in your happiness and stop waiting for someone to do the things you want with you. A friendly, happy person will find companions everywhere. Realize that you are worthy of love and loyalty. Life is change. Wanted or unwanted, change will happen. But, if you have cultivated your inner strength, it will be accepted more than mourned when the change comes. I know that all of these things take practice, and if you have had people bail on you during hard times, it gets a bit harder to trust. But, people who love you will be there during good times and bad. Throughout your life, people do come and go, whether by choice or by death. That happens to everyone. I would advocate taking some action so that you can shift your worry to doing something. If you have been giving them regular use, those worry muscles will need something else to do. For now, fear is a bit overprotective.
