M(19) I am unsure if this is what I am feeling. I’ve been told the most common reason of adapting to this style is due to neglection or abandonment but I have not experienced those from what I’m aware of. My girlfriend has brought up that I may have attachment issues and it’s due to me usually being let down when I have to drop her off. I would also have other symptoms of this style such as need of reassurance and worry of rejection. I need help and I don’t know how. I don’t even know what I’m asking. Pretty much how can I heal myself. I just want to be better.

I think I suffer from this too man, it sucks because it can get in the way of your relationship. You should try to be more independent and take up some hobbies to keep busy / have something to look forward to when you drop her off.
Let her know you’re working on this and ask for her support. She might have some insights into your behavior that you haven’t considered.
This is a therapist question, not a reddit question. There’s really no way to deal with that other than getting professional help.
