Investing all your time, energy, and love in a person- only for them to leave you, get bored of you, or worse, cheat on you, because even after doing ALL that and telling/showing them how you feel, it's not enough.
Especially the ones that claim they'll, "Never leave you," or "I'm different from the others..." They usually hurt you the most :|
Nah, I'm good. Going to enjoy being single and drama free without fear of being cheated on, lied to, and dealing with relationship drama.

I'm not scared anymore...
the one time was with my first girlfriend and those were high-school days... and then, I did have many fears and concerns... not only I had zero experience at all at age 16 but I also had a few too many doubts in my mind and about myself
more than feeling like I wasn't good enough... I was afraid that the not so good things about me were going to be much for someone else to want to deal with it... but luckily, I was wrong about that and fortunate as well... I was actually in the process of making a turn on these things that were troubling me...
so it was actually a very good timing, in which I dared and ventured to be in relationship and connect with someone else... and after that experience, and as I got older and went into new relationships... I have not doubted myself nor I have doubted the one that is willing to be with me
I am so good at being alone and myself, that getting into a relationship will reduce the quality of my life..
I have never been in a relationship..
People who jump from relationship to relationship are not good at being with themselves.. if you leave them with a notebook and pen and enough food and music and solitude. In the middle of the forest.. in a cottage.. with no human interaction.. they will go mad..
unlike them, 99 out of 100 possible partners will only ruin the quality and peace of my life.. And I am already too damaged to suffer through 100 people to find that one, individual.
I fear I’ll be too clingy, controlling and annoying. Most my family is controlling and I’ve caught myself many times. I don’t want to be controlling or nag or communicate my issue only for them to go over his head. I fear that we won’t be compatible in areas like cleaning the house. I fear that I’ll be way too annoying cause I love to talk and won’t shut up. I fear I’m too boring and just like to stay home most of the time. My roommate says I gaslight him even though I’m not trying too. I don’t want my partner to think I gaslight him. I don’t want to gaslight anyone. I fear I’ll be taken advantage of again and be too naive to recognize the signs early on. I fear I won’t take enough time to build a proper friendship before jumping into a relationship. I fear I’ll fuck everything up

Yea in the early stages, I feel the way you do. I always say never get too comfortable. So its hard to be truly happy when you never know if you can keep them happy in the long run. But more than feeling like I may not be what they truly want, I more so fear that I’ll self sabotage because they can't meet everything I want. I try not see it as settling and more so being thankful for coming close to what you want in life. But shit the person I’m currently with is probably the most opposite of what I wanted, but I see potential in him and love him, so I’m ride this shit til the wheels fall off
The fear that they’re only with me until they find someone better. That I’m just a “space filler”. I’ll put all that work and effort into the relationship and in the end they would leave me for someone else, because it was never about how much I put into the relationship, they were always going to leave regardless.
That fear doesn’t bother me usually, it’s very rare that I actually feel it. But it’s the only fear that I have when it comes to relationships.Actually nothing scares me. I'll tell you why... I am the best person I can be. I give 100% of myself and there is nothing more. If my girlfriend rejects me then I know I gave it my all. There is nothing more we can do then to give it our all.
So be the best you can be... And I'm sure you'll be fine.I'm not too worried about it too much maybe like accidentally making him something that will make him sick that terrifies me actually thinking about that last thing I want to do is make anybody sick especially my boyfriend
Putting in so many years just to break up. Wasting time with someone thats never going to work.
My biggest fear is when I gotta get used to actually being in one.. I've been single for so long that my pair bonding is a bit skewed.. I start overcompensate and drive the other person away.. I also always feel like I'm not enough..
It's selfish but I am afraid of him dying first and leaving me alone.
If it does happen, I don't think there will never be another after him. He is the man of my life.
For me it’s betrayal in any type of way. Somebody cheating on me, being two faced then stabbing my back, turning into a horrible person for the worst and it becoming a huge nightmare.
It's not realizing my self worth enough to realize I deserve better until years into it.
getting cheated on or being with me for whatever the amount of money or resources they can extract from me.
Nothing really. I know that if it does not work out that it is not meant to be and that they are more fish in the seas, so to speak.
Fear of success, not failure. I tend to lose a lot, so, when I finally think something's going to succeed, I get scared, and run
My worst fear is wasting years on a loser who treats me like trash
That's my fear too... but... in life, most people go through several relationships. So, chances are you won't get it right first try. You just got to keep trying
I'm afraid of being misunderstood by the person in front of me. Because, by nature, I am not a gentle person, and unintentionally, I can say hurtful words to the person in front of me.
Not being able to make him happy and contented with the relationship
Same here. I have one of those attachment styles. Anxious or avoidance or both I don't know. Never had a ltr because of this. Longest I've had lasted 3 months.
We're never good enough. That's why we should always do our best
You know how I wish I had a chance to help you realize it's all your overthinking Sash! 💘
That I'm going to mess it up.
