Why are We Afraid to Love
Discover what makes us afraid to love.
Love comes and it goes. Love is putting down any barriers and letting someone inside of your heart. It takes courage to give someone your heart and trust them with it. Many of us become afraid of putting our heart out there especially if it’s been torn apart in a previous relationship.
Many of us become afraid to love because we’re tired of being hurt. Some of us don’t ever want to experience being hurt again. Why? It takes too much time to get over it.
We may be afraid to love again, but we won’t dismiss the possibility. We can’t control when we fall in love because love just happens. Love will sneak up on you when you least expect it. Love is innocent and does not hurt. It only hurts when the one you love takes their love away. This is what makes us afraid to love.
Bottom line is that none of us want to be hurt which is what will cause us to just give up on love all together. We will keep those barriers up and stray away from anyone that tries to get close enough to us to get over those barriers.
Eventually, we have to get over being afraid. There’s not one person that wants to wake up and find that you’re all alone. That’s the risk that we take when we choose to love. I guess you can say that life is a risk.

True …but one can be so badly hurt that their heart does not even function to love…it is not even a matter of being afraid
just a girl with a broken heart

yeah i know, ive been hurt before, but the last relationship, when it went bad, something broke inside me, and i have no clue how to fix it. I still love him, and i dont know how to move on, and love someone new, im afraid to get hurt again, but im even more afraid of hurting someone the way i got hurt so i just stay away from it, or i try.. i try really hard coz its just to complicated.
so maybe im afraid, but it feels like my heart dont work anymore.. its broken and i dont know how to feel anything. Iven been cold. And i hate it. I wanne be happy and being in love like before.. not scared, lonly and pushing people that are falling in love with me away.. but how can i let someone in, when i cant give them what they deserve? and that is a girl that are loving them and giving them the happiness and loving thoughts and feelings they need. I dont wanne be alone, but i run the fastest i can in the other way when someone gets close to me…….

This didn’t help me. I wanna know HOW to dare the risk. I’m just grieving every day because I feel that you’re ultimately alone in the universe (and you will loose in love eventually, anyway). People say I’m wrong – how can it be proven to me??
