Scared of Love ?

Post Reply New Topic

I know this might sond crazy , but its almost as if im scared of being in love ? Ive had a few relationships in the past , but i only feel overwhelming fear ? Its not very nice and because if this I haven't been able to date anyone for about a year and a half now :/ any advice ? X

One time i felt that. I think i was scared, like if i was doing something wrong or fear what was coming next.

You said "one time" does that mean you have overcome it ?

Love is wonderful, and it has to be present in people's life's. I think the fear, is more towards expectations, than love itself?

Fortunately I don't believe in love, meaning the sort of love between and man and a woman, not the kind I feel towards friends and family. Can't really be afraid of something I don't believe exists.

That's a real shame. I believe in love but i also believe that people are influenced and can have moments they might regret or moments to then reflect and learn from.
I am in a relationship but i always struggle as i am touch sensitive and if honest a little to shut away from reality for a relationship. I have not given up yet though. Love is possible if both in the relationship values the possitive and negative aspects of their partner and let them have space and time to learn about themselves in the relationship.

Very true

I am trying.

If love between a man and woman didn't exist, there would be no friends and family for the most part.

nope, not scared at all. mine is like a steam roller. It has its advantages and disadvantages.

Well is it the intimacy piece of relationships and the expectations around it that make you anxious? Because that is tricky I think for some AS people.

I still have some hesitancy within intimacy of a relationships because I sometimes feel Im on a different level than the person I am seeing.

Generally as a rule since my last relationship I need to assert how I feel more openly no matter how exaggerated it may seem, because I have voice and it should be acknowledged. If I don't feel comfortable then I should leave.

Plus I think one thing that may help you is setting parameters in your relationships. Not all relationships you have in life will be long term. If it happens great but don't take it too personally when things go south, people change over time and so do feelings. That's not a bad thing as long as you communicate your desires, needs, boundaries and etc in a relationship.

Scared of love? Yes. For me it’s the scariest thing on this planet. It’s the most important thing on this planet. It’s the most abused, mutilated, thing on this planet. I put it off for so long that now it feels like it’s not ever going to happen for me. Obviously one is supposed to make it happen, but I don’t have a clue how. I may want it more than anything else, and yet I cannot visualize it so uncertainty causes me to dread it. I see women with all the make-up and the eyes that already scare me are intensified even more. I do not know what women want. I often hear they want providers, and that is not me. If the world still had opportunities for honor and courage in physical combat, conquering wilderness, and winning a girl’s heart through acts instead of words and money, I’d know what to do. If the planet’s population wasn’t obese (the population figures, … but I guess the individual people too), there wouldn’t be so much competition and fewer options at the same time. I’ve been overloaded with images of what beauty in a woman is; and yet part of me just wants a girl who has powerful thighs and small breasts so she can run with me. I fear I will not recognize what love is until it is too late. I fear I will not be able to reciprocate the love in a way my love deserves. In the animal kingdom, normal animals simply know the mating rituals; humans on the other hand have intelligence and while it makes love more meaningful, it complicates finding it. Humans on the whole are more evil than good, and they all hide which side is winning inside them, so how do you know which is winning within someone else? There have been times I have thought impaling myself on my sword is a lot less scary than trying and failing at love. Then there is what love usually leads to: kids. I want kids, and yet I wonder if I will still want them once I have them; I worry that bringing kids into the world the way it is is cruel and selfish. I fear that I will do things that annoy my love, or she will do things that annoy me. I fear the requirements for alone and together time. I’ve always wanted to try robbing a bank just to see if I could; love does not seem like a challenge to be overcome; it’s about matching two brain thought processes as intricate and infinite as universes themselves; but then these cosmoses also need to be visually attractive. The odds of love seem astronomical to me, and I fear that most people settle. I fear feeling unreciprocated love. I fear losing my love. I currently do not fear death very much; I fear I would fear death much more or much less once I have experienced love. I fear that my fear of love will emphasize my lack of confidence which turns women off. Love is the scariest most uncertain thing of all.

I have a lot of anxiety surrounding the issue of whether or not I'm even destined for a relationship any time at all. Maybe that qualifies as "scared of love", I dunno. I've never felt it, so I'm not sure that's exactly what I'm "scared" of.
