It's normal to freak out, you're mentally invested in a relationship. You trust the other person with everything you got; doubts, secrets,... You probably want to build a future with this person and when something happens or you think could happen that would change that, then it scares you. It's okay to freak out sometimes, but do talk about it with your partner.

It depends on the situation, your past and what the guy/girl is like can affect the way you behave in a relationship. Perhaps you may have commitment issues which is quite common.

I tend to freak out in relationships so easily because I'm afraid of losing that person and I don't want to say something that will make them leave.

Ppl freak out for different reasons! Some because they feel insecure about something or because they care too much or maybe worried that maybe thi gs won't go the way you want it to but rather way you should not worry about that just try to calm yourself down and talk to the other person

Being alone is completely different when compared to station of being in a relationship. You will never hate yourself but in a relationship you are afraid of making mistakes that freak you out.

It's probably due to last experiences, which is okay! It can be understood by everyone why. Don't think as it weird or bad.

Personally its because of previous experience but for a lot of people its a trust issue and the uncertainty of not knowing how someone will react to certain things

Relationships mean opening up yourself to another person, and sometimes that can mean potentially getting hurt. This can cause for us to become protective. Nobody wants to get hurt. At the same time, we often form relationships with people that we deeply care about. These people are really important to us, and when the relationship is strained, we can often freak out instead because we are scared that we are going to lose this valuable person. I guess what we can work towards is controlling the manner in which we express our personal fears and concerns so to prevent freaking out, but that's not always the easiest thing to do. It's perfectly normal to freak out in a relationship that matters, so don't be too harsh on yourself if you do. :)

Perhaps because feelings are a scary thing for some people - a relationship is allowing yourself to be vulnerable to another person and that is difficult for some, especially if they had bad past experiences
