Insecurity
Fear of commitment
Phobia of being ripped off
Fear of rejection
Fear of living in a relationship situation
Fear of losing the things you love that make you you
If you allow fear to guide you, you will likely either pull away or end up in an unsatisfying relationship.

All of the above, but even if love guides us, our fears may still be realized

We all have these fears, no doubt, especially after being burned, but life is about living and taking risks is part of life - rename them challenges and move beyond them!

Fears are lessons we sometimes learn.


Lessons are good they teach us. But allowing fear to hold you back from anything. I believe is a mistake.


One World.

One Life. thumbs up

And a relationship would be the biggest risk and challenge you can take

I thought the fear I felt starting the business was bad, but 6 years on and still going strong.
Better to have loved and failed than never loved at all.

I just jumped in where angels fear to tread dancing

UM..... but took me two years to get round to it so I had a lot of catching up to do.

And I did devil devil devil wouldn't take any of it back as it was so much fun.

I found what I wanted and couldn't be happier as it taught me to find what I was really looking for.
So much homework but it had to be done.innocent innocent grin

Life isnt a practise ... you only have one turn at it.

Some fears keep us safe and healthy. I have a fear of manipulative, controlling men who tantrum ... I've actually found that its a healthy fear. Keeps me from being in bad relationships. grin

Norm, we need a new thread, with one fear at a time, seems most women on here have no fear of relationships or commitment, just a fear of what they put in their mouths.
