The thing is, I'm afraid of falling in love. This fear haunts me. I'm afraid that if I fall in love, I will completely disappear into the person and lose myself. I've been through this before and I know how painful it can be when you give your all and then are left with a broken heart.

Sometimes it seems to me that this prevents me from being happy and building normal relationships. I want to understand how to deal with this fear. After all, falling in love is a natural feeling, and I don’t want to avoid it, but I also don’t want to get lost in these feelings again.
I'm wondering if you've encountered anything similar?
