Is it normal to be scared of love?

[Anonymous]

I am really scared of love. I had ome girlfriend we broke up after two months. We were too young back then so it was kinda awkward. Now i really liked one girl, things were going well, we kissed few tmes, went out but then she ended it. It really hurts. I feel like i really dont wanna go through this again like why would i do that to myself again. Why would i let anyone the power to hurt me like this again. I feel like i just rather be single and dont get bother by love.

It sounds like you're cutting yourself short because of past experiences. if you really like her and things going well why not take it slow by proceeding with caution? You lose every opportunity you don't take and please don't be like me, missing out on a protentional opportunity and still thinking of it 15 years later, you never know how things will go.

I have always had commitment problem which i realised recently we chase love because of what we see in movies we want that love story of that movie in real life love is nothing like what we see on screen in real world there are more important priorities than perfect love story it's normal to be scared of love if you had bad experience i m sure u don't want to go through emotional pain again in life because nobody can guarantee that your partner won't leave or stop loving or cheat u

That’s the beauty of being human, you feel things deeply, and that includes hurt and grief. It’s perfectly okay to grieve for the things that were, and the things that might have been but won’t be. But don’t let it steal your joy. One thing I do, when I’m heartbroken, is tell myself that if this didn’t work out, it only means something better is going to come along.

What a great answer! I agree. Don't let it get you down.

Go MGTOW bruah. Look them up on the internet... You have plenty of reasons to just work for yourself and only worry about yourself. I'm married now at 14 years with kids and I'm telling you going MGTOW is a valid choice. Imagine not getting nagged for playing too much video games or drinking too much beer... instead, you have to give attention to someone that can't figure out how to entertain herself.

Point I'm trying to make... is it really that bad being alone?

Well do that then. At least you know what you want and are feeling. You think and feel which is a step above many today.

Yes, when you fall in love you are giving somebody else a licenses to break your heart in the most terrible way.

I'm scared of it because you dont know what will happen just pray and keep the faith that maybe I'll find somone one day.
