Why are people afraid to love?
I won’t speak for everyone else because we are all different but as for me this is what makes me afraid of love. I have always and still do to a certain degree had a low self esteem problem and that plays a big factor because I always feel like I am not good enough for the person I find myself attracted to and it always makes me do stupid childish things like tell the whole world how I feel about the person yet when that person confronts me about that I deny that I ever said it. Reason being is almost always it ends up with them talking about what a nice guy etc that I am but that they don’t feel the same way and probably never will. When you get rejected enough times for not being someones type (code word for you’re an ugly geeky looking bastard who has some pair of balls to think you have the right to be crushing on somone as good looking as me) you tend to give up on any hope that that special someone is out there.
Many people are afraid of love coz they don’t understand it or themselves. Most people don’t know who they are, and so how can you understand and love another person when you don’t understand or even love yourself. People can fear to face themselves and their lives and so fear to love. Also seeing the way others are can put people off love because they try and judge love by what others call and show love to be. Love is an individual personal thing and in the end it is something each of us has to find for ourselves, as they say, better to have loved and lost than never to have lost at all…
