Dear Suze, I’m heading for another bad breakup. I’ve had a life full of people leaving me, and although this guy is all wrong for me, I’m afraid to be alone.
Dearie, Fear of being alone or rejection often begins in childhood. When alone should have been a positive step towards independence, for those with your fear, it meant abandonment and insecurity. Normal childhood development should have taught you to rely on yourself and explore life with a healthy sense of curiosity. It’s never too late to learn to enjoy being alone, but it is not easy. Get help to find out where your roadblocks are, including those painful childhood memories. Once you take baby-steps to change your behavior and spend time by yourself, you’ll find an added bonus of improved self-love. -SQ
