A lot of the time, abandonment fear originates from our childhoods where we experience loss. This loss might have been brought on by a stressful experience, including losing a parent to divorce or death. Not enough emotional or physical care might also cause it. These early life events might cause a later in life dread of being abandoned by someone.

It is difficult to feel alone. As someone who has been abandoned, you may be more prone to have long-term mental health issues. Often, feelings stem from the fear of being abandoned again. A child who was abandoned by a parent or caregiver may have rage or mood swings as an adult. Such behaviors might alienate potential friends and love partners.

People who fear being abandoned may be unable to trust others. Feelings of abandonment might hinder someone's ability to feel worthwhile or connected. These worries may induce anxiety, depression, codependence, and other issues in certain individuals. A person with strong abandonment fears or relationship anxiety may have more trouble w.th self-esteem and feeling safe.
