Why are some of us afraid to fall in love?Afraid to let someone close?

Because we know better.

Not afraid just very very careful who I entrust this heart to.

What scares the living hell out of me this time is that there's no off switch.

im not afraid... better to had loved , right?

my my my I'm once bitten twice shy baby...

You might as well ask: Why are we here in the first place?

Why are we afraid? there are so many reasons. I guess the main reason is we're afraid of getting hurt. we're afraid of hurting someone else. we're afraid of making choices. we're afraid of regrets and disappointments. we're afraid of hope. we're afraid of being vulnerable. we're afraid of showing weakness. we're afraid of seeing weakness.

we can take the romance in concept, most of us. and almost all of us can say we can deal with it, but deep down... there are thoughts.

I can deal with most aspects of love and relationships, but the one killer for me has always been marriage.

I'm afraid of weddings. I'm afraid of the dress. I'm afraid of walking down the aisle. Terrified actually. Always have been.

My secret is out.

Right back at you:
Does everyone have to fall in love (is it ok if some never do)? If you let everyone close, then how close is really close then?

Yep... what she said.

Been there and done that. It never worked out very well for me.

i think we all deal with heartbreak in different ways but most of us go through the same chain of emotions like depression, self guilt, anger and exceptance... ive just learned to except that love can hurt but just take it when you feel you truly have it ya know

I'm ready to embrace it again

it is hard no matter how much we may wanna to give in a trust someone enough to become a part of you..

I've been waiting so long to hear those words.
