Are you attached to someone who doesn’t seem as committed as you are? Maybe they’re giving you double messages, keeping you at arm’s length, or pulling away when you try to get closer. Whatever the signs, your fear of abandonment has been triggered and you want to go back to feeling secure.

I was hoping to read an article about those who have abandonment issues and are not getting involved with those people who are less interested in themselves. The title of the article gave me the impression it was going to talk about those people with abandonment issues who wait to share strong feelings for only those people who tell them outright that they are important to them and they want to be with them. This still can add to the feeling of abandonment because holding back true feelings until we hear the right words from someone who really does care for us is not a great way to live and means that we miss out on wonderful opportunities. People with abandonment issues are not always people who throw themselves at others trying to not feel rejected. Making sure people care about them before they themselves really commit or admit to the love they feel is probably more common.
