Due to past experiences, due to rejection, due to it hurts to be hurt again, due to you can't control your emotions from past experience, due to you are scared being in a relationship, due to you don't things to be repeated again and again, you don't want to harm yourself, due to you just want your life back and be normal and be yourself where you feel your freedom will be in bird cage and you wont able to live yourself ...!!!

Being in a relationship is hard so it is perfectly normal if you feel scared, its only because you love the person you are going in a relationship with and therefore don't want to hurt them! Its okay to feel scared and you don't have to be in or do anything you don't feel comfortable with, best wishes :)

Relationships can be scary because it's making yourself totally vulnerable to another person. You're opening yourself up and that always leaves a possibility to be hurt. But the positive side is that you're also opening up to one of the greatest experiences of life, which is always a risk worth taking.

Maybe you have attachment issues? I know for the longest time that was my problem, I was scared about loosing the person, getting hurt, and them not being the one.

A lot of the time, we feel like our relationship is consuming us. Sometimes we let our feelings get the best of us and the idea of being "restricted" by a relationship tends to become scary. It's all about wanting control over ourselves, and a relationship can make you feel like you don't have all of the control. It's perfectly normal and if you do have a partner, can be talked through often. Your concerns are perfectly fine and is all in human nature.

it is sometimes normal to feel uncertain about entering a relationship. However, it can have something to do with your own attachment pattern that is developed since infancy and early childhood. For more, please read about the concept of Attachment types.

It's normal thing to be scared to be in a relationship. People always have this thing in their mind that something bad might happen when they'll be in a relationship, but it not always does.

I'm quiet and shy and really opening up to someone can be intimidating. I'm not completely comfortable with my emotions so I often try to focus on the other person. I guess I'd be scared that the person I was dating would think that I'm not interested, but it takes a while for me to come out of my shell

You could be aromantic. Not to be confused with asexuality, aromanticism is where an individual doesn't experience romantic attraction. They can still feel sexual attraction, or they could be both aromantic and asexual. Like asexuality, aromanticism comes in shades: demiromantic, where you only experience romantic attraction after a close bond is formed, and gray-aromantic, where you rarely experience romantic attraction. There are many other shades, but those are the main two. I hope this helped!

Because you may feel vulnerable, letting someone new into yAllowing another to learn your secrets, our world/private space. It can also be scary to let go of you, be seen as you truly are.
