I just stumbled upon your post. I relate. I know what it feels like to be abandoned and I have deeply explored how that fear has manifested itself in my life. In short, It made me into someone that I didn't like very much. The worst part is that I had no idea what the root cause was. My cure was to stare the demon in its face. Yes I made a decion to get vulnerable. It was amazing. My heart was torn from my chest and the pain was excrusiating. No wonder I had feared it. But I did it again , and again until I could bear the pain and then something wonderful happened. I opened up to someone that reciprocated, they didn't tear my heart out like many others before them. I would have never found the connection I craved if I had let the fear conquer me. Vulnerabilty is an unconditional gift you give to others. What they do with it has nothing to do with you. You keep giving the gift to as many people as possible and if your lucky you get the gift back
