Philophobia

Philophobia- Fear of falling in love or being in love.


My friend told me about her problems today. One of them consisted of her missing two of her ex-boyfriends. She told me that she wasn't sure which one she missed, and that it hurt that she didn't know which one she missed. It hurt her more that she had messed up the relationship with both of her old lovers and that they now had a great dislike for her. Of course it hurt her plainly that she missed them at all. I would have to say that this would be the worst part of falling in love, yes? Love is great when everything is calm and normal. Although, once everything starts going haywire, love doesn't seem all that great anymore. If we know things like this are going to happen, then why fall in love at all? Why do we still glance at love to be the most wonderful thing in the world? Perhaps it's because of how it makes us feel when we're in love, or being loved. Either way, it seems pretty scary to me. But hey, why should I complain? I happen to be one of those believers.
