I have abandoned by people in my whole life. Certain family members, friends, girlfriends, every kind of people abandoned me somehow. Sometimes it was because of personal reasons, sometimes not, yet I do not have any tiny bit of trust to people anymore.
I would be happy if you recommend Literature books about abandonment, abandonment trauma and issues.
Pic unrelated.

Hate to break it to you, but you can't rely on people. Your experience is normal. Besides your parents (and children, if you have any) everyone else is expendable. Women especially, because they'll ditch your ass without warning if it's convenient for them.

Well, I am aware of that but my almost all recent relationships has ended with instant abandonment. I would not consider myself "problematic" beforr but I started to feel responsible after what happened yesterday.
After my father abandoned us, I got into total isolation for years. At the beginning of this year, I thought things would be okay from now on but I realised I was wrong. I'm considering getting into isolation again.

I know getting into isolation is not going to fix things but I would be more emotionally stable in that way. By the way, do you have any book recommendation?

Mental formations are still cease-able, just learn proper Buddhism and practice it. No weird trauma reliving journey is as good as some samatha and vipassana.

The Courage to be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi is pretty good; looks like self help trash but don't be fooled (though it does read like baby's first Socratic dialog). How Does Analysis Cure by Kohut is also pretty decent for building a relational model but is 70s psychology... IDK maybe some stoicism to

I have abandoned people for ages and they manage to find me and pester me wanting to get in touch years after. You must be truly insufferable while I must be adorable somehow (even though I don’t like people). Such is life.

You’re right, it does get hard from time to time — that’s when it’s best to go out to somewhere new and talk to a stranger with your most sincerely loving self. Could be a bar, a bookstore, or anywhere that corporate policy doesn’t disallow employees & patrons from speaking frankly (with what time they have to spare), but I strongly encourage those little wanderer’s trips of “catch & release” with life’s characters. Even if you meet someone cool, don’t feel bad that you’ve set a limit on your engagement — I’d strongly recommend containing your autism and never giving out your contact info unless they explicitly ask for it — but the sting of abandonment & rejection tends to dull its edges when you learn to enjoy the rotating cast of characters all around you. You don’t even have to be interested in what they’re interested in, just ask them about it — interested people make for interesting experiences, and the speaker is often far more enjoyable than the content.
