Is fear of rejection or abandonment holding you back at work or in your personal relationships? Here's how to recognize harmful behavioral patterns—and start to heal, explains ThriveWithAnnie
The following three symptoms are commonly associated with rejection sensitivity and a fear of abandonment:A fear of failure is closely linked to low self-esteem and low self-worth. People who struggle with not feeling"good enough" often expect rejection or abandonment in professional, academic, or relational situations that require them to take chances or step up.
Because of this fear, some may be wrongly labeled as underachievers, which can further trigger feelings of rejection, especially if the underlying cause is a fear of abandonment and not performance-related. Others may sidestep professional advancement as too much of a risk for rejection, or they may avoid relationships as too triggering to their fears of abandonment and the impact on their self-worth.
