Looks like our thread titles are kissing cousins! There is MUCH to be said for Tolle and his wisdom in this concept.

Good for you for seeing the need to address the abandonment issues and how they are so pervasive. You know I speak from experience with this too? The fear was present in all my Rs... I actually stopped really pursuing friendships for this very reason.

Of course, I used to tell myself that I was just busy...

But the real truth is that I was simply afraid of caring more for someone else than they cared for me. Isn't that such hooey?

Anyway, I bet Chum will be here shortly. She seems to have a knack for smelling bait and coming out into the open!

I'm glad to have you both back. You both have kept me honest for the past year.
