Fears That Ruin Relationships

Loving someone is risky business, so it’s natural that fear is present in relationships. But when fear operates in our lives in a way that hurts us or hurts others – through aggression or withdrawal – it becomes a problem. Recognizing these fears and how they affect our life can help us make the necessary changes to get the love we want.

  1. Fear of losing freedom. Tied down, trapped, cornered, stuck, “this “claustrophobia” points to mistaken beliefs about what relationships are supposed to be.
  2. Fear of conflict. Let’s face it, love can be messy. But it doesn’t have to be destructive. Constructive communication skills can be learned.
  3. Fear of change. Change means work, discomfort, uncertainty. But oh, the rewards of growth and depth and renewal!
  4. Fear of giving up or losing control. We don’t have to surrender personal power in a healthy relationship.
  5. Fear of pain. Ultimately, we must decide whether we trust fear or trust love.
  6. Fear of being “found out.” When we hide our true self from those we love, we’re usually afraid that our true self is unlovable.
  7. Fear of losing self. Often this comes from watching others (parent, friend, relative) suppress their individuality in a relationship.
  8. Fear of not being enough. When we fear our own inadequacy, we often expect perfection in our partners.
  9. Fear of rejection. To avoid being rejected, we may become pleasers, taking our authentic needs and desires out of the equation.
  10. Fear of dependency. Some worry about losing the ability to take care of themselves, some about the responsibility for others.
