“The idea of trying to avoid love sounds paradoxical in the extreme: why would anyone take steps to deny themselves an experience which seems so plainly positive and life enhancing? Plenty of people are denied love by external forces; why would anyone take active measures to sabotage love if it lay before them?”

We want love, but we don't wanna be vulnerable (and that's the paradox, because love and vulnerability go hand in hand).

My favorite part was the last one: we terrified that we finally will be able to be with someone that could makes us happy in a relationship something that is unnatural and frightening. Something we never had the experience of. And I strongly believe this is not only in romantic relationships but in any relationship we have.

It's terrible. Feeling the pain when someone comes close enough, that you either push them away or you yourself get away from them, never getting what we truly want.

The phobia towards love comes from the fear of rejection.

I want love, I get love, I feel trapped, I push them away. It’s a cycle, I feel so horrible

As an emphatic person who has been belittled by many people i stay away from people who i think that can do harm to me, i love my isolation from the outside world.

Cool, so because I was ignored and left super alone as a child, I now must live my entire life alone, but more in a "I don't deserve love" preemption kinda way than self sabotage

in case anyone is wondering, this video describes the "dismissive avoidant" attachment style.

The 1st girl who said she loved me/had crush on me i still remember asking her "why?" Why do you love me? I was 16

I had a crush on this guy. I flirted and he flirted back. Yet no matter how often he would sit with me or find me to talk to me, he would never ask me out. Weeks turned into months which turned into half a year, no change. Until finally I was asked out by someone else. I reluctantly gave up on my crush. But I still feel bad for him sometimes. He was shy and could never find the courage. But when you find the strength to pursue a relationship even when it's scary, that alone stands as good evidence that you are ready for one. I hope he finds someone else and the courage.

A soldier guides a penguin across the desert to reunite the penguin with his true love, and along this treacherous journey, the penguin asks the soldier "Why do you risk your life guiding others to their hearts desire? Don't you wish you had someone waiting for you on the other side of the desert?" The soldier stops to think about it for a few seconds, but he just says no. Once they reach their destination, the penguin thanks the soldier and shares an observation. He tells the soldier, "You fight so bravely because you have nothing, and you actually want nothing because if you had something or someone to love, then you would have something to lose, and your heart would no longer be made of steel." The point of the story- You can spend a lifetime hiding from yourself what you really want most, what you truly need most. Love, love is what people need the most. Every thought pondered, every word spoken, and every action taken is done out of love, or a calling out for love.
