It may look absurd how some people hate to go into a relationship, though we all have our quota of fears which varies, some feelings are stronger than others. This is normal, in as much as they don’t start affecting our wellbeing and start having a negative impact on those around us. It’s hard to understand why some people don’t want to go into a relationship, and this got me thinking of every possible scenario on why and how this happens. Here are five reasons why some people may be scared of being in a relationship.

1. They are scared of a heartbreak: the fact that you’ve heard or seen too many people being hurt doesn’t mean heartbreak is a must  in every relationship if everyone is scared of being hurt and decide not to go into any relationship who then would be in a relationship? Instead of running away from a heartbreak why not take a step of faith by embracing the relationship and being honest with each other’s feeling.

2. They are scared of a commitment: some people shy away from being in a relationship because they see the commitment that comes with it as a sort of prison or a huge responsibility. However, commitment in a relationship is a measure of one’s responsibility and way of showing how much you value your spouse.

3. They are scared of the past: this also one basic reason why people are scared to be in a relationship because they’re still hurt by experiences of the past. It hurts them so much that it is hard for them to come back to how they used to be. If you fall into this category, then you must do something about this to heal. I would urge you to let go of the past maybe it happened because something better is coming your way so embrace the new opportunity.

4. They are scared of leaving the family:  the fear of leaving the family is what hinders some people from going into a relationship because they feel it will break the connection with the family. The love they shared or maybe the family may not accept the person they bring home. Remember that a relationship doesn’t mean forgetting your family and being a member of the family shouldn’t restrict you from finding a relationship beyond it.

5. They are scared of wasting time: at times you are scared of wasting time because you feel the relationship has no future, or maybe you don’t have enough luxury. To handle this feeling, you have to decide on what you truly want and make plans on how to have the kind of relationship in which you would feel comfortable in with your partner.
