I'm just cynical and believe everyone will abandon me at one point. What to do?

In my opinion, I see it as best to stay away from people. If I stay away then others cannot hurt or upset me. I'm sorry you have to deal with this fear. I wish you the best.

i have this same fear. easier said than done but i think to some extent you just have to accept the risk. a lot of relationships and friendships, especially with neurotypicals end up fizzling out after a while. it's painful but for me, I just had to choose to enjoy what i had in that moment and see that that feeling outweighs the pain that might come in the future. I realize i sound like a total n*rmie but i don't have any better advice. I avoid romantic relationships altogether because I'm scared but friendships are easier because you're not as attached to the person, there's less risk of becoming dependent on them.
I guess finding someone who gives you that trust again by being there. There might be therapy strategies to make have the courage to be vulnerable to someone again easier
