Why Are Some People Afraid Of Falling In Love? by Phate07(m): 9:18am On Jul 21, 2011

Why are some people afraid of falling in love? Why are they afraid of opening themselves to the
powerful aura of love?

Are they afraid of being hurt? Or maybe they afraid hurting others? Or could it be as a result of negative input from past failed relationships?

Love is good,because its brings out the nicest part of an individual.
Love is bad because,it hurts and when an individual is hurt,they tend to do things that are unexpected of them.
People are scared to fall-in love because their heart may have been toiled with,by others,or mainly because they do not believe in love.
Love is strange thing,sometimes.

@OP: The worst disease plaguing this world today is not HIV/AIDS, but rather, it is the mental delusion called "love". What makes it so bad is that "love" has never been objectively proven to exist, yet people allow themselves to sink into it without even asking simple questions. The difference between a sane person and an insane person is that an insane person continues to do the same thing over and over again expecting a different result; that's why people tend to "fall-in-love" over and over trying to find the elusive "love", it is indeed a misnomer, completely irrational, and it's proponents are not much different from those in a Lunatic asylum!

People have some common thoughts regarding love.

May be they do not know that there are thousands of ways, lots of verities, There is no such formal method, it can be any time may be with any one also,

Falling in love over and over does not make a person insane. And expecting different results isnt always the point. SIGGGHHHHS!

Finally, an interesting topic that I can also shed light on. Being a psychology major, love, and perceptions of love has been widely studied. Let me start by saying love is subjective and not everyone can define love in the decorum. There are different explanations for why people can be afraid of falling in love. One is that Love in its great purported magnitude, can be incredibly intense, which can be wonderful if you are ready for it, but may be unwelcome if not. It can be disruptive to someone's life especially if that person has a a busy work/social life. Another part of the fear of love, is the risk that the feeling will not be reciprocated. Unreciprocated love can be distressful; yearning for a person that may not be there emotionally, even if they are there physically. So the person may just try not to develop those feelings in the first place.
