Is it normal that I don’t want to like anyone?

[Anonymous]

I have a fear of getting heart broken like I did in my early twenties and my love life has been stalled for this reason. How do I get rid of feelings of liking a guy because I’m afraid he will hurt me? Do you have any suggestions on how to detach yourself?

Nothing wrong, girl. You do you. You do what you like to do and some guy is just going to have to like you. That's freedom. Now, fair warning. Most guys like a certain type of woman. But there is a guy out there for every kind of girl. Some bitch punk guys like dominant women, for example. You should just do the things you like and meet some guy that likes those things. Don't worry about what he likes or the past. Just enjoy your life. Life is short. Everyone ends up alone and dies alone anyway. Fact of life. Sorry. Enjoy your life, your things, and hope a similar guys comes along.

Fear spurs life. It sounds like you're afraid to live. We all fear. None of us enjoy rejection. The real question is what do you want out of life? You only have the one. It's ok to be scared and it's ok to be hurt but you do have to suck it up and try again. You owe that to yourself. God loves you. Good luck

not really normal

seek therapy

I have never understood that mindset. Life is all about taking chances.

But what if your chance breaks your heart?

Don't detach yourself. I'm completely detached, only sexual for the most part... I miss the old ways and Hope they come back. Take chances, love and be loved. Getting hurt Is the cost of doing business, but it's worth it.

I’m so scared of the pain and crying that comes with heart break. I feel so deeply.

Sadly it gets easier every time... You never want to. feel heartbreak again... But then you wake up at Age 42... And realize... You don't feel heartbreak... But you also don't feel.

Life is there to be lived and chances taken, yes we can get hurt emotionally and physically but we should face life full on. Look at getting some counselling / therapy for this, you might find it will help.
