Sometimes progress begins when you stop judging your coping mechanisms.

If good things in childhood were unpredictable or short-lived, a child can absorb a quiet lesson: good things are temporary, so don't get too comfortable. That lesson can follow someone into adulthood as a flicker of anxiety, rather than relief, whenever life is actually going well.

Sabotaging something good early can feel like taking back control of an ending that once felt entirely out of your hands.

This is one possible explanation, not a diagnosis, and it will not apply to everyone. But it may be worth asking whether you were ever taught that good things don't last, and whether that's still true now.

What did you learn about good things growing up?

A slower reply. A shorter text. And suddenly your whole body is on alert.

For some people, that reaction has less to do with the current relationship and more to do with an old alarm system that learned silence once came before something worse.

Fear of abandonment doesn't always look dramatic. Sometimes it looks like needing constant reassurance. Sometimes it looks like leaving first, so you never have to find out if they would have stayed.
