Getting emotionally close to someone can be hard, but it is impossible to do if you are not fully comfortable with yourself. When one is true and genuine it will attract the same in return. Bettering ourselves every day and remaining consistent in how we handle our insecurities with our significant others.

It could be from so many things...only from searching inside yourself can you know what the answer is. It could be anything from feeling trapped in relationships and needing to escape, to freaking out that the person will abandon you and needing to cling on. Or anything in between! Just look inside yourself for the answer, and try to trust your partner!

You're scared of making an mistake and you don't want to do anything wrong, so that causes you to react in such a way.

There are many reasons for this, actually. May be you have trust issues going on. May be you face difficulty in reflecting your emotions. May be you find it challenging to admit, honestly, how you feel about certain things/persons. May be it's due to a past situation. May be you aren't sure about your feelings. There are always so many 'may be's in everything. It's hard to pin point a single one. However, it's absolutely reasonable to freak out in relationships. Personally, I relate to you on that one. While I do think I have a certain reason for that, if you want to find out a particular reason for yourself, ask yourself questions. Go deep into the maybes. Try to peek into your mind. It's hard but once you find the answers, you will know what to choose and what not to.

Maybe you freak out in relationships so easily, because your scared to trust your significant other. sometimes making the jump to being with one other can be hard, and trust is one of the main key concepts. learning to trust in one another can be hard and challenging sometimes. but it is totally worth it.

It could be your lack of experience, racing thoughts and... the most terrifying of all- Expectations. It could be yours, that of your partner or your assumption of what your partner's expectation might be.

Perhaps overthinking might be the main reason. It is natural but just realize to not expect the worst. And no your boyfriend isn't going to cheat on you when hes not texting you for 2 hours.

Relationships can be overwhelming sometimes. We have a lot of expectations, hopes, wishes. We're anxious about people getting too close, about getting hurt. Sometimes the anxiety has a good reason, sometimes not so much. It's important to take a moment and reflect on it, but not to overthink.
