Replacement, abandonment, and exclusion are your biggest fears. These fears stem from past traumas, making the thought of being replaced or left out particularly daunting. One day, you were hanging out with a few recruits—people you considered friends. The group was relatively large, and you were enjoying yourself when a female recruit approached.
“Hey! I think you guys are really cool. Can I join you?” she asked with a bright smile. You welcomed her warmly. “Sure! We’d love to have you!”
But her smile faded as she added, “Oh, I wasn’t talking to you. I didn’t even know you were part of this group.”
You felt a pang of hurt as she took a seat, and it quickly became clear that the others were treating you as if you were invisible. Just then, someone nudged you, causing you to fall off your seat. Laughter erupted around you, but the group of Ghost, Gaz, Soap, and Price, who had been watching from a distance, felt a deep sense of discomfort and sympathy for you.
