What Are Abandonment Issues?
Abandonment issues arise when a person has experienced physical or emotional loss, neglect, or instability—especially during formative years or in important relationships. This fear of being left behind or rejected can lead to self-protective behaviors that ultimately cause more harm than good.
Signs you may be struggling with abandonment issues:
Fear of being alone or
rejected
Overreacting to perceived slights or distance
Difficulty trusting others or forming close relationships
Avoidance of intimacy or vulnerability
Clinginess or emotional dependence
Low self-esteem or self-worth linked to past losses
These issues can affect all areas of life—including friendships, romantic partnerships, family dynamics, and professional relationships.
