You think you're just avoiding conflict.
You think you're being humble.
But what if the truth is... you’ve been abandoning yourself just to keep other people from leaving?
This is the fear of abandonment. And it’s one of the most misunderstood, most deeply wired fears keeping people stuck in cycles of neediness, anxiety, and self-betrayal.
🎯 In this episode, we dive into:
What causes fear of abandonment and how it rewires your nervous system
Why clinginess, silence, people-pleasing, and self-sabotage are all connected
How anxiety takes over when someone doesn’t text back in 10 minutes
What self-abandonment really looks like (and why it feels so normal)
How to stop chasing safety by shrinking who you are
Practical daily steps to break the cycle and build real self-worth
