Why am I scared that I'm in love?
Approved answer
Understanding Philophobia
Philophobia, which is the fear of love, can hinder your capacity to engage in fulfilling relationships. Experiencing a painful breakup, divorce, or feelings of abandonment and rejection during either childhood or adulthood can lead to a fear of opening your heart to love again. Engaging in psychotherapy, or talk therapy, may provide support and guidance in overcoming this particular phobic disorder.
