I am always afraid of being alone and that people will leave me if they get mad at me. When I was younger I never got anyone mad at me, but now people get mad at me and I worry that they won't like me anymore and they will leave me. I know this sounds childish but it is a real fear that causes anxiety. I feel like I smother people and like they won't like me anymore, but I don't know what to do to feel like they aren't mad at me and they still like me... even if they don't respond to me.

i used to be that way, i had severe abandonment issues. therapy has helped me to see where that fear come from and move past it. you have to realise that people will get mad and sometimes they do leave, but... it not all.
you cant live your life in fear. u have to do what makes you feel good and stand behind your own beliefs. you can never be wrong for that. if someone leaves because of it, thats not somene you want around anway. i put my boyfriend thru hell the first few months due to abandonment issues and he stuck with me.. and it is stronger then ever and so am I.... stay strong!!!

People get REAL tired of others with abandonment issues.. Everyone has to have their own lives, and hangers-on just get in the way.. Learn to like yourself.. If you don't like yourself, then no one else has to. If you lo0ok within yourself and don't like what you see, then that's your problem, don't pass it off on anyone else.
