I've Never Been Scared Of Love...Just Scared To Love

I've Never Been Scared Of Love...Just Scared To Love

- Juice WRLD

I think that the thought of being scared of love is often over-exaggerated, but definitely there. There are some driving factors behind being scared of love that I know of, and I'm certain there are more that I don't know of. I want to use this MyTake to bring to the light some of the feelings that are to be known when someone says they're scared of love. Most of the time they're not saying that they're afraid of love completely, but there are some things that come with love that they're scared of.

1. Thinking the feeling is not mutual:

~ It's always best if when you fall for someone the same applies to them, but it doesn't always work that way. This is very common when it comes to being in love with someone. When people love someone but they're afraid they don't share the feeling, it often leads to lots of overthinking in situations and sometimes sadness. It can be very painful to be in love with a guy/girl that you think you can't have. Over your lifetime, you have most likely experienced this feeling and thus I don't think I need to go into much detail on it.

2. Here's the no-brainer, the feeling going away:

~ Ever been in love? Butterflies in your stomach, thinking all day about the person who you want nothing more than to spend every waking hour with, Unending happiness in the presence of someone special? Well... It can go away. "The more we have, the more we have to lose." Who knows what series of events may lead up to the feeling fading, but when it does things may never be the same as they were before. Love is like a painkiller that feels so good when you have it, but when it's gone you start to hurt again. It's obvious that people don't want to experience love just to lose it so that could be a reason why.

3. Vulnerability and trust:

~ This reason goes hand-and-hand with reason #2. When you fall for someone, you put a lot of trust in them. Who knows what you may do to them or say to them that is supposed to be between only you two. In relationships where you and your partner have shared lots of dark, secret, and private things with each other, the loss of love could turn these things which you bonded over into fuel for fighting and (in extreme cases) blackmailing. People can be afraid that their love will fail and things that they brought into the light with their partner could be used against them.

There are certainly more things that could fall into the same category as the 3 I listed above, but I want to leave that open to discussion in the comments below. Thanks for reading, let me know what you all think and if you've experienced anything similar.
