You may have had rough experiences in the past. You may have been betrayed by the one that claimed to love you or may have watched lovebirds betray each other. At a point, you lost hope on love. You don’t feel like getting too close or too intimate with anyone anymore. The idea of falling in love again makes your heart beat a double. You become uncontrollably uneasy and uncomfortable each time the word “love” is mentioned. If you feel this way, then it’s likely that you may be having philophobia.

1. You are still not over your past

Horror scenes of your childhood still torment you. You still recall every time how your parent’s marriage ended broken. How you got your heart shattered in the past and since you have not been able to recover from it. If you have not moved on from the past, then you’ll surely have a deep-seated phobia about anything love.



2. You hardly ever trust anyone

As a result of the betrayals and traumatic relationship experiences you may have been through in the past, you hardly ever trust anyone. You had experienced the sweetness of a relationship, had given it your all, had hoped and dreamt of a better future but all these dreams got shattered. All you got was heartbreak and betrayal. For this reason, you have resolved deep in your mind never to fall in love again.

3. You only enjoy the physics

You enjoy a good romance but feel less concerned about the prior and after aspects. You just feel like jumping overboard and having a good swell time when you feel like – and that’s it. And when you are done, everything becomes awkward. You are suddenly at a fix on what to do next, how to act, what should be the proper etiquette? Thinking of all these get you freaked out for real.

4. You have this strange feeling opening up to your partner

You have got a whole can of secrets and you never feel easy spilling even a pinch of it. The underlying fact is, you have built a wall so high – never letting your guard down. Knowing that if you do, you are most likely to fall in love, and that really scares the hell out of you.

5. You would rather prefer associates than friends

Yeah, you still love to party and mingle, enjoying immensely the company of others. But you always put a stranglehold on your level of interaction. There is always a limit to your friendship, and it never goes beyond that.

6. You see every relationship as a trap

Your excess love for freedom makes all relationships seem like shackles and chains that can keep you from getting to where you want to be. You are too married to your career, you feel like spending quality time with someone is only a waste of your work time. You so love the lone time and wouldn’t love to give up your privacy and freedom to do whatever you want just yet
