There is no guarantees in the world, zero. Enjoy what you got when you got it. Being alone won't kill you. But having zero skills might. Time to learn everything that is needed to be alive. Learn basics in making food and taking care of a home it will benefit you as it will benefit everyone. Learn everything you can at least to the basic.

It doesn't feel better until you are forced to accept the fact that it's going to happen more often than not.
Then the pain starts to numb.
Some people leave by choice and some are taken away from us but everyone has to leave us one day as we will leave someone else too.

Find peace knowing Christ as your savior? Repetitively reinforce your security? join a group for support?

Try to convince yourself it's ok if things don't work out.
That would work for me, but I'm also not a therapist

Get some professional help. Otherwise you'll end up selling your values and be treated worthlessly and you'll still be afraid of leaving.

Start by forgiving your father and mother, and then start learning how to seek a sense of validation from within yourself.

Time. I grew up with a mother that was always late or not there at all when she promised to be there. Made me a little hard at trusting people.

Not being abandoned usually works pretty well. That and frequent hugs.

try convincing yourself to be independent vs codependent

[panda2712]

I’m a very independent person but when it comes to close friends I worry that I bother them and I don’t want to lose them

[OddBeMe]

Study what that person brought to the table. They might be easily replaceable.

You might need therapy. Talk it out.
