I won't speak for everyone else because we are all different but as for me this is what makes me afraid of love. I have always and still do to a certain degree had a low self esteem problem and that plays a big factor because I always feel like I am not good enough for the person I find myself attracted to and it always makes me do stupid childish things like tell the whole world how I feel about the person yet when that person confronts me about that I deny that I ever said it. Reason being is almost always it ends up with them talking about what a nice guy etc that I am but that they don't feel the same way and probably never will. When you get rejected enough times for not being someones type (code word for you're an ugly geeky looking bastard who has some pair of balls to think you have the right to be crushing on somone as good looking as me) you tend to give up on any hope that that special someone is out there.

When you love another person you put your self out there for rejection. You trust this person with your feelings, soul, heart and if he/she does not return the love you will get hurt. That is not a good feeling when you are used like that. But when you finally find the person who truly loves you back it is not like that at all. It is a wonderful thing and worth waiting for.

Love is just a scary thing. It's risky and you never know how it will turn out. All you can do is hope for the best. And if the worst happens, it's very painful.

Most people don't know what love really is as it has misused so that people can get laid or just not be alone. Some might be afraid of love because they only know how it has been misused.

For fear their love will be rejected. Being willing to love involves considerable personal risk, and takes a great deal of courage. Loving places you naked, defenseless and vulnerable at the mercy and whim of others. And yet, should that love be returned, the risk is more than worth it.

Many people are afraid of love coz they don't understand it or themselves. Most people don't know who they are, and so how can you understand and love another person when you don't understand or even love yourself. People can fear to face themselves and their lives and so fear to love. Also seeing the way others are can put people off love because they try and judge love by what others call and show love to be. Love is an individual personal thing and in the end it is something each of us has to find for ourselves, as they say, better to have loved and lost than never to have lost at all...
-
In my opinion its not love that people are afraid of its letting someone in and have them destroy you bit by bit. Its the rejection of your heart that can happen, its the fear of never be loved after, its the hurt that can be caused. So in my opinion, love isn't the problem.
-
Most likely because they've been in love and hurt in the past.
