Do you have fears of abandonment? Why could this be?
- I had never heard of “Fear of abandonment” before having to answer this question, so I did some mini research & was shocked when I compared some of the information with myself — realizing I have this fear. I have this fear when it comes to relationships, and while I don’t show all signs, I have many of them when dating. I necessarily consider this a horrible thing, in fact, I love that I found this out about myself because now I will do more research on the matter and find ways to make this less of an issue for future relationships. I’m not 100 percent sure why I have this phobia or for how long I have had it to go into great detail, but I believe it could be some form of trauma I experienced in previous relationships (that I was aware of, or blocked out) or perhaps something from my childhood triggered it. While this isn’t something to brag about, I do believe it is important to be honest with myself, I could have chosen to deny this and pretend it isn’t a thing; but what good would that have been? Hopefully if any of you have this fear, you feel comfortable enough to express it & if you don’t know, look into it and get an understanding of it and what it means — you might be surprised.
Be the best version of you 
While I’m no relationship expert, I think that most people have a fear of abandonment and or rejection.
You fall in love with someone, tell them your secrets, allow yourself to feel vulnerable…none of that is easy…then there is a chance a relationship that you have invested in may end! 😲😲😲
That is difficult and scary…I must admit that as I get older and more experienced, I’m not so worried about relationships ending…
But we all just want to be loved…right?…so I admire you Shaylon for being so open about such an insecurity. Excellent post!
Happy New Year my friend!
