Well, and it's one of those things that it's when it's you, it's easy to like miss it.
you're not going to get rid of a fear of abandonment.
Like, you know, you don't get rid of emotions.
You live despite the emotions.
And so I think the issue here isn't that you remove the fear of abandonment and then some long-term desire replaces it.
The trick here is that you need to find something that
is worth wanting enough that you're willing to live with the fear.
But yeah, we all do.
I mean, talking to you about it.
And by the way, thank you for being willing to share this on the podcast.
