If you are scared to love again or start a relationship, it means there is a scar in your heart that makes you feel that way. Past experiences in relationships of losing someone to death, betrayal, or break-up may shatter you and, make you cautious to love again.
It’s natural to be scared and hold back. You may find yourself waiting before jumping in full force into another relationship because you don’t want to just fall for the next person and for you, there will be only one special person.
