break

Relationships to people with abandonment issues commonly result these three ways:

- person with abandonment issues will either runaway/cut people off just as they start becoming attracted/attached to someone

- person with abandonment issues becomes too attached too quickly to people

- person with abandonment issues sabotages relationships even when it seems to be going well 

It’s common for people with abandonment issues to live in constant excruciating fear and anxiety about being with someone or not being with some (sometimes it can be both at the same time).

The core reason people with abandonment issues behave the way they do is an intense fear of rejection (which can be caused by multiple situations the person endured). 

You feel as if you’re unimportant to your friends and/or family and find yourself acting desperate, then feel your actions may have made matters worse.

You find it hard to sleep without many lights on or some kind of noise running.

You attach yourself to inappropriate people just because you’re afraid of being alone.

You find it hard to completely open up to people because one of your “weird” things might be the last straw for them and cause them to leave you.

You blurt out inappropriate “secrets” about yourself (such as wierd quirks or faults) in early stages of a relationship and/or friendship, sometimes to push people away or sometimes to warn them because you feel guilty and/or ashamed.
