Why do I read it all the time that people dumping people because they are scared of their feelings that are getting deeper?

What's so bad about falling in love?

How horrific really is it?

Or it is just same thing as 'it's not you its me'?

Feeling vulnerable maybe..?

Once you fall in love, your heart opens, your feelings come out and it feels incredible (and vice versa) .but it can be scary because you've opened yourself. .

I think people get scared of being hurt emotionally by the other person.

I know what you mean though.

I think dumping someone is a bit extreme though.

Maybe the dumping come from not being ready?

Love is a complex thing eh!

Love itself isn't the scary part, it's the fear of going through the pain of losing that love that makes people run away.

That's what strikes me as dumb! Let's lose it before I lost it? What—

Have you ever lost someone you were deeply in love with?

I would rather be alone forever than go through that pain again.

So now no one should fall in love and being love because they might lose them?

What a logic!!!

Let's not be happy because it might end?

I am in pain for years and would

not ever want my love not to happen! Because moments are amazing!

Yes it hurts 99% of the time so...it's price

for happiness!

Right now I feel like dying. I know I'll get over it, but it's the shittiest feeling in the world, and nothing will make it stop except time. If I had avoided love, I wouldn't be feeling it. That is what people are afraid of, and frankly, you know it. I remember those threads you've posted begging people to explain to you why a broken heart hurts so much.

Oh I know is just as I type it.

But avoiding it is like avoiding life itself!

Specially at younger age?

And it is still going to happen! Marriage kids erc.
