Love can feel like anything and everything it's an emotion your the one that controls tho thoughts those feelings when I date some one and I know I like this person ... I ask myself can I handle it if something goes wrong.. my answer is. Yes of course I can I was hurt before the pain I went through can't be touched nothing will hurt me again I will love you like no other can I will give my heart soul.. I will give you all of my. And you will know it's real... but if something happens there is even a sign of somethings not right. I'm gone... there is no one on this planet who can take me there I lived it once. Never again I've walked away twice. There nothing even to talk about. Both times I wasn't angry them more at myself. For not seeing it sooner. The one thing I do say is you blew it .. and I will never look bsck

It can , if you give yourself completely to someone and you are unsure if they feel the same way as you and fear they might betray you or leave you for someone else. Why it’s best to love yourself and treat someone the way you want to be treated , , if they choose to walk away from you , oh well , they didn’t value you and treated you the way you valued and treated them , so find someone that does

If you feel like you're falling in love and you're fearful because it's a new experience.  In general, love should feel warm, inviting, happy and exciting.

DishLady · Accepted Answer

It shouldn’t, HOWEVER some folks are afraid of being in love so they shun it and flee from it.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

Fear is the trigger for the fight or flight reaction, and love never made me want to fight or run away.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Some people probably ADD fear to love because of past situations. "If this person and that person did this to me, chances are they ALL will!" Sadly, there ARE a lot of assholes out there but, what some people don't realize is that there ARE others that'd NEVER hurt them!!! And, just because you got hurt by those other assholes, doesn't mean everyone will!! I got hurt LOADS of times but, I kept looking!!
Sadly, it DOES take time and effort to find the good ones!! I've seen people hunt for gold on a beach. It IS there!! You just have to do a lot of looking to find it! You have to sift through buckets of sand to find enough gold to make a rock but, it's there!!
Some people have it right in front of them and don't even know it!! They seem to be looking for a slightly different version of it and then realize, after it's long gone, they COULD'VE had it back when it was right in front of them!! They just couldn't see it that way back then.

Women love abusive relationships. They crave them. Women get sexually excited by violence and cruelty. Why do you think in high school they go for the a hole jocks. The nice ones don't excite them. They love the bad boy. They way they control you and treat you like a possession gets you off. Why do you think women will stay in an abusive relationship? They like the pain. They like getting beat. It gets them off. Whether or not you stay usually has to do with of he has money or not. If he's rich you stay if he's not you leave. So in closing women are naturally masochistic and crave violence.

Lynx122 · Answer

Yes definitely. The closer you are to someone, the more they know about you, it's more scary if they judge you, reject you or whatever. Truly knowing yourself and letting other people know you on that level. In a way it's the most brave thing you can do :). But every person is naturally more comfortable with some things and less comfortable with other things. For some people love is easy and natural for others it takes a lot of bravery.

Maybe_Maybe_not · Answer

Uhhhhh Physiologically,  maybe? Heartbeats, breathing, overwhelm, you know. Like coffee. Psychologically , why not. If someone has been taught, directly or indirectly, that love comes with fear then the two might be indistinguishable. It doesn't encompass what fear exactly is, if it is panic fear, being apprehensive... It's open to more questions from a subjective perspective

WonderingManII · Answer

Yes, love can, at times, feel like fear, particularly when it involves vulnerability and the potential for loss or rejection. The depth of love can be linked to the depth of fear one experiences, especially regarding intimacy and potential hurt.

Sun_Kim-Ai · Answer

Depends on the kind of fear.  If it's fear of the other person, then no. If it's fear of disappointing or harming the other person, it could be.

Caroline91 · Answer

I don't think so. To me, love is solid. But other emotions can mess with it, even distort or destroy it.

Cormac995 · Answer

Yes it can especially if you're very attached and concerned about loosing them.

Makeushiver · Answer

Initially it can have the same butterfly, somewhat anxious feeling that's similar to fear. Though I'm more likely referring to lust

Maybe yes, scared of love, of betrayal, of being vulnerable, or if you have him already, the fear of losing him.
