my fear is Athazagoraphobia is a fear of forgetting someone or something, as well as a fear of being forgotten...

1. You attach too quickly. 2. You don’t fully commit to relationships. 3. You are a people pleaser. 4. You struggle with emotional intimacy. 5. You look for flaws in your partner. 6. You experience separation anxiety. Hope this helps!

A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are. 🧡

Kid version of me: don't leave... Pls!! Adult version: here... Let me open the door for you.

“Never get too attached because people wake up with different feelings everyday. It’s only natural.” -Unknown Forgot who quoted that

It's hard to trust when you've been betrayed and abandoned countless of times, but not everyone you meet will be the same. Give yourself a chance and give others the benefit of the doubt if you think they deserve it. :)

“When someone goes all out for you, be sure to value that energy and effort to the best of your ability. Never take it for granted because we often lose what and who we don’t appreciate.” ✨

3:05 My musical theatre kid self not recognizing until five seconds into the lyrics: OH I'm dumb. Love the reference

not me shutting everyone out because i’m afraid of being abandoned 😳🤚

This channel understands me more than anyone else......

Being diagnosed with BPD and having an intense fear of abandonment is rough. 8 months strong with the guy who isn’t afraid to call me out for worrying too much and be there for when I need a shoulder to cry on. Even after all my mood swings and mistakes he still cared and won’t let me go. It’s so difficult and I know I’m not alone in these problems. Hope everyone can also learn to reconcile with this and find the right person :)

I have a fear of people leaving me because my family has abandoned me

I feel like I might be like this. For me, though, I find that I’m clingy, people pleasing to the point of annoying to those around me, and feel the need to always help others with their emotional problems and not thinking of/covering up my own. I’m a very open person naturally about how I feel so sometimes it sounds pushy. it genuinely makes me feel good to see others feeling better, but I’m so drained after. Does anyone else feel this way?

I honestly don't know if I have a fear of abandonment or a fear of being manipulated and played with, or a mixture of both. It makes me scared that my partner may not have the same feelings for me as I do for them. And I feel like lately they've been getting a bit more cold towards me. And honestly. It scares me. A lot.

My logic: “I’m afraid of being alone so I don’t try to get into a relationship with anyone.” 😳

Didn't even need to hear the 6 signs, the title alone got me

Who here loves this ANIMATION as much we do? COMMENT IF YES! :) Also, as part of our initiative to build more mental health awareness in Korea, we created a new video to help you see if there are signs of childhood trauma. You can watch here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jeB6l7iQltjYYo0.html The points are referenced from a book.

I think it is also about them reassuring us and understanding we have trust issues. I think abandonment issues comes from a lack of trust in others and ourselves after a devastating event

Another reason is you got abandoned in the past. I got abandoned a lot and my friends didn't understand my huge fear of being abandoned so I cut them out of my life since the friendship was getting toxic too anyways. Not only they didn't understand, but they also worsened it. I still miss my best friend but I'm slowly moving on and slowly getting my life back together.

These all describe me perfectly, like 100%. The issue is, that while I don't want to stay like this, I also feel like these behaviors/feelings keep me safe/defend me on some level so I feel too scared to change :(

I may have feared the worst when I watched this video. I can't live with anyone yet I can't live without anyone. I still need space occasionally. Extreme isolation only worsen that fear further. I'm confused. 💔

THAT HAMILTON REFERENCE I LOVE YOU

I relate a lot with these, not in the exaggerated way is being shown but close enough, I think my fear of abandonment ruined my important friendships (and is not about a gf or relationships with a girl and such)

My partner seems to have abandonment issues and i have helped it a lot by just being patient and supportive. She seems to be getting more confident in herself and our relationship. Also more confdent in her relationship with her parents and friends.

That feeling when you relate to all 6 signs...

I think I have this but with friends, that and im terrified of them.

So I’ve always known that I have a fear of abandonment, but the fact that I hit every single point perfectly makes it reality😂💀

Kinda used to being alone, but it does suck when people aren't what they seem. The more people that leave from my life, the easier it gets for me though.

I left her because i felt i wasn't good enough for her. It hurts me everyday & i regret it. I would give anything to have her back in my life. 💔

The adorable aesthetically pleasing animation, the simplified explanations, the welcoming community and the way you guys respond to most of the comments is just out of this world! Love your channel so much Psych2Go keep up the great work!!

A lot of theses videos made me realize I needed counseling and I’m so glad it did

I had a latent abandon me when I was still in kindergarten. I always had issues with getting too close to people to quickly, never payed attention to it. This video was a real eye opener. Thanks!

Last year...... I made two good friends whom to which I always talk to after school,But after 8months or something they started ignoring me and stopped talking to me..... I was shocked that they suddenly stopped talking to me....... From then I always think did I did something.... From then I am scared of being abondended, Being a ambivert(more on a introvert side) I have very few friends.... I do anything to make them happy and they just not leave me for no reason.... 😢😢 (If you really read till here..... Thank you 😊)

Really went all out on the production value on this one, from the animation to the music to the brain maze pattern in the background. Simply gorgeous!

Can we just appreciate how quickly they put out new videos? It’s amazing

In middle school I was continuously abandoned by my "friends" during break and lunch times. Even to this day I can't walk at the front of a group because they might walk off without me noticing.

I JUST SAW THE HAMILTON REFERENCE YES FINISH THE LYRICS, THERES NOTHING LIKE SUMMER IN THE CITY SOMEONE IN A RUSH NEXT TO SOMEONE LOOKING PRETTY THERES TROUBLE IN THE AIR YOU CAN SMELL IT...

I've struggled with abandonment issues for YEARS. All these are spot on!

Amanda is my favorite VO. Her voice calms me so much and helps me comprehend what's being said.

I'm honestly this close to just, giving up

Me: writes down feelings of fear and mistrust Her: it's free real estate!

#1 is eye-opening! I never knew that attaching too quickly is a sign of a fear of abandonment.

This video is so relatable. Thank you for this video. Really appreciate it. This video has really helped me realise and understand myself. I have been struggling with abandonment fear for a long time now. This is so me right now!

I'm sorry but, Why is your voice so soothing

I love the art style. It reminds me of the art style from the 3 ways to stay in the honeymoon phase video :>

To everyone who's here today watching this, sending positive energy to you all. You are wonderful and unique and you all deserve to be happy.

Thanks for talking about this. It’s really helpful

Dang, this was uploaded on the date when my girlfriend started being unsecure and emotionally distant... Now, about a month later, she confirmed that she's afraid of being hurt if someone leaves her, and she got emotionally distant from me because she's afraid I'll leave her too... I wish I could help her, and to change things...

is having occasional nightmares of suddenly being abandoned a sign? i've had lots of them in the past..

Whenever i watch your videos it makes me calm down..your videos sure help.

Thank you for all your things you explain in your videos

This is a serious topic u.u ... But that Hamilton reference thou ¬v¬ (I thought I couldn't love this channel more)

I don’t have to watch a video or having signs to know I’m afraid of abandonment. I’ve had this fear ever since I was 5 and now I’m 12 and I’m still afraid cause whenever I do something wrong my mother always threatens me that she’ll disown me or my siblings if we don’t do what she wants...🥲 Me editing: holding back tears because sister is here😞😓🙁

thanks for your videos, they have made me realize so many things about myself

I like how you included ways to help at the end sometimes when I finish these videos I’m like “great... so now what?” So it was nice to have some helpful advice at the end ❤️

I had a fight with my partner and these thoughts of losing them kept playing in my head. I do experienced loss when I'm just a child and I just don't want to feel that feeling again. But now, that person had started to ignore me..as if I've never existed in their life...now I'm just scared of losing them even more that I'm actually getting depressed and suicidal...😔

Here's a story about how I have had this- when I was 7 years old I called the cops before school because my dad was outside. I thought he left me forever and dialed 911. This is just one example! It's strange because, I don't think I lost anything as a child. I definitely don't think I have this anymore though.

Great observations and so very true. Thank you.

It's comforting in a sense to hear a discussion on this by someone that isn't trying to tell me what I'm doing wrong (according to how they would handle things). I've been wishing to have a girlfriend for the past two decades because I wanted some constant in my life that would care about me and actually want to be around me. Now I'm too afraid to approach dating because I don't want to smother a woman with being needy and clingy, wanting to make up for the years and years and years of wanting to hug and hold someone and to not be starved for human affection anymore. I'm afraid if I ever do find someone, that they'll catch on to my lack of relationship experience and leave me for someone else. It's so incredibly difficult to fight this day in and day out. It makes me feel guilt for wanting to love and be loved.

Personally I have a fear of abandonment for as long as I can remember, but it has mainly projected onto my friendships, rather than my romantic relationships. Of course my fear leads to issues in the romantic aspect too, but... All I`m trying to say is we shouldn`t focus only on the intimate relationships, because fear of abandonment can also affect the way we interact with our frineds, family, coworkers, etc. We should take all of that into account before we try solving our problem.

Can we get a video on sibling relationships? We know all siblings have fights all the time, so how do we differentiate between normal fights and verbal abuse?

omg the drawing/animation improved so much

I love the illustrations in these clips.

Bruh in the first grade I was sobbing because my mom didn’t say goodbye when she went to work so I had to call her Bruh when I was younger I slept over at my grandma’s house and was sobbing because I left my blanket(Blankie) Bruh a few years ago I went to sleep away camp and cried every day *Bruh last year i made up hundreds of excuses so I didn’t have to let go of a toxic relationship and gave myself anxiety* I see a pattern

Yup this all sounds like me. Sadly they always leave me after the first point.😅But luckily Im already seeing a therapist. P.S love your videos

Ty for this video🥺 My mom used to get so angry she’d stomp out the door threatening to unalive herself and go for a drive and be gone for 3+ hours. I never knew if she’d actually come home or if she’d be gone forever. That fears translated into all my friendships and relationships and it really sucks.

I love these videos and yes once again her voice!! Its so relaxing 😌 😍

I relate to many signs🙋‍♀️

Signs and symptoms of abandonment issues in adults include: always wanting to please others (being a “people pleaser”) giving too much in relationships. an inability to trust others. pushing others away to avoid rejection. feeling insecure in romantic partnerships and friendships. codependency.

Thank you so much for actually telling us how to deal with it and not just what if is I HATE IT WENT PEOPLE TALK ABOUT ISSUES AND DONT MENTION A SOLUTION

Whoever animated these videos is amazing!! 💚

*I think the reason why I have fears of Abandonment, is because my parents always say when I’m annoying, “If you don’t shut up I’m going to leave you here.”*

I'm glad when people abandon me. They finally show their true colors. All people are like this when you're not useful to them anymore.

Thank you for understanding this topic better! 🙏 someone who loves you won’t take you for granted, there may be many women who do this too. That’s not real healthy love. Good to understand this a bit better.

So I just realized today that I rarely check comments while watching your videos! And that's because I engage with your content so well or learn from it!!

i've been hearing about god complexes and suprioty complexes is there a dissrence or are they the same?

When I was a child, my best friends family moved away and she went to school and got new friends. Any time I asked her to hang out, she said she was meeting w her new friends. She said she was pretty popular in her school. My mother told me to stop calling her so I did. Many years passed and I had bffs on and off but one person in particular hur me alot. Sometimes she would be the nicest person and let me very close to her and sometimes she would just push me away and talk to other people. It continued for a pretty long time and i got really bitter about it. I found it almost impossible to forgive her, especially when she didn't listen to my side of things. She often invalidated my feelings and it was very hard to deal with. After those incidents I was really scared of commiting to a friendship but it was the thing I wanted the most. I craved meaningful friendships. In the spring of last year I started to hang out with a girl and we had a lot of fun. I was so excited and wanted to be bffs with her. I wanted us to be friends forever but I also feared that she would abandon me. And then, in the fall, she did just that. Se never really seemed to know why but I think it was because I clinged on her so hard. She knew she would hurt me and destroy me by letting me go and I'm pretty sure distressing to her to have such a responsibility. And now that I think about it. It wasn't fair either. I've done some soul searching lately and discovered all these things about myself and it has been eyeopening. I always considered if the problems in my relationships were my fault or were the people around me just spiteful. Was the universe just mean to me? But now I know and I'm so happy. I'm gonna work on it and I know I will get past it. I just have a question to you. Should I talk about these things to the last friend I told you about? I really don't know if it would be weird or...?

One I found as I really go through this can be seen through nightmares, this is helpful in noticing most issues. Nightmares have been shown to be views of anxiety, fears and in large cases depression, without them I would have no ideas of most of these things.

OOF this hit hard. I know I have abandonment issues. I figured it out a few years ago. Because of them, I've never been able to get really close with people. I feel like they're going to leave me or not care enough to put the effort in anyway. I especially relate to the picking of flaws. Whenever I feel like a relationship with someone could actually go somewhere I start seeing all their flaws clear as day and get deterred. I absolutely hate it and I always feel so guily, but at least now I know I'm not the only one! Thanks Psych2Go!

bro not the hamilton reference 💀

I think my brain rn is just in the worst of repression lol. Like: "Alone? What does 'alone' mean? Are there even people around? DO THEY EXIST?" Then I have a crisis because I'm alone and I'm like: "Oooh... wait, what? Do these feelings exist? Omg I'm feeling something. Awful :("

How do you make such high quality videos in such a short while? You have my respect! 👏

The animation is so cute! I wish I could hug the little characters. ^^

I don't think i have a fear of abandonment.... I know i have a fear of abandonment-

Ah, I wish I waited for this video for a little bit longer before saying some dumb stuff 😅 But I do not relate to the last one, I may overthink but I keep it to myself, I'd never spam my other half with messages. I'd send one and if they wouldn't respond, I would not send more

This is real and most likely is tearing one down. Having so many horrible events like; Abandoned Rape the whole summer when I was 13 At 9 my father was dragged out of our house. By the Sheriff Department, one of them ended being Step Father. So many different types of abusive behavior, sister's, mother's friends every one that comes around. But the real tragedy is someone starts something, like yelling at me saying I'm going to be shown the door, lying that I did something and I wasn't even around..... The list goes on and on. May Love and Peace be within your soul. Take Care dearest friends.

Thank you for this video

Sign* I always keep losing friends and people I trust there is not much people to support me anymore, I am sad.... I just lost a friend yesterday and we used to be a very good friend. The only group of people I really trust is Psch2go, they never broke promises

Time travellers unite !!!

This video makes me so emotional and makes me feel how much I fear of this abandonment issue and how my childhood affect me to my present maybe to future also.
