Afraid Of Entering Into A Romantic Relationship Again

Have you ever been afraid of entering into a relationship again? Or have you overcome this fear before? It is best to overcome your fears before they get out of hand. And once you get rid of the fear, you will see how you grew from it.

After a painful experience in a partnership, it takes courage and overcoming to enter into a romantic relationship again .

However, this kind of fear can keep us from being around people and from getting to know other people.

Every extreme also has negative consequences. So it is perfectly normal to be afraid that we might get hurt again. But an extreme fear that keeps us from entering into another relationship can cause us more pain in the long run.

If we set boundaries for ourselves and thereby limit what we experience in our life, it will not lead to anything positive. Instead, we should learn from our experiences in life .

If we do not gain life experience and avoid important experiences, it will only prevent us from growing ourselves.

Avoiding fear is not a good strategy

For example, what happens when we are afraid to speak in public? We avoid the situation … And then we have to continue to live with the fear without ever trying to make a public speech.

The same thing happens with the fear of being in a stable relationship again. When the fear is too great and we cannot overcome it,  feelings of fear  and other bad memories take over. This in turn prevents us from gaining and gaining new experiences.

The fear will always be there in some way and it will make us feel restricted by it: restricted from meeting someone; restricted from trying to have a relationship with the person we like; limited to learning from all the relationships we might have.

If we are afraid of entering into a new partnership, it can be a good strategy to think about a fear that we have already dealt with.

Whether it’s a fear we mentioned earlier, such as speaking and talking in public, or another fear like traveling alone, living abroad, or giving up your job that you don’t like – there is sure to be a fear that you have already successfully mastered.

If you can no longer remember what the past fear was, it underscores how carefree you can live when you are free from a fear that previously held you so strongly under control.

Do you know the feeling of being really free? And the certainty that fear can no longer stop you? Let your fears go and say yes to a new relationship.

Philophobia: The fear of entering into a romantic relationship

The cause of fear of being in a relationship again may be philophobia. Philophobia, or fear of attachment, is commonly known these days as the fear of falling in love or entering into a romantic relationship.

What are the characteristics of people who suffer from attachment anxiety?

• Looking for flaws in the other person to prove that he or she is not right for a relationship.
• Starting an argument about nothing, trying to burn the other person away and dissuade them from entering into a relationship.

• Not answering the other person’s calls to prevent the relationship from deepening.

It goes without saying, of course, that the above measures will prevent a person with philophobia from entering into a relationship.

These behaviors provide a kind of defense mechanism to protect yourself. People who are afraid of relationships believe that they are vulnerable in a relationship.

Is it still possible to overcome this fear? We can only find the answer to this if we are aware of the fear and seek professional help with it. Because sometimes painful past experiences are difficult to overcome.

When we break free from the gravity of our fears

Leaving the fear of attachment behind us and freeing us from it can give us a new boost and finally let us breathe freely again. When we face fear, we can meet people again without immediately assuming that they want to form a serious bond with us.

In addition, we can be open again to the people around us and also be able to flourish in a relationship that we want to enter into. And this is a sure sign that we are leaving fear behind and that things are going well for us.

If we put pressure on ourselves to rethink everything that may or may not happen or go wrong, it will not help us.

And why not just enjoy the moment? What do we have to lose if we just live in the here and now?

If something bad has happened to us, it doesn’t mean it has to happen again. Because if we learn from our bad experiences and mistakes, we are unlikely to repeat them again.

Have you ever been scared of going into a relationship again ? Or have you overcome this fear before?

It is best to overcome your fears before they get out of hand. And once you get rid of the fear, you will see how you grew from it.
