Nobody ever says that, that those who fear falling in love have this tendency to be more affectionate and nurturing and gentle lovers. It’s not the fear of “falling in love” that they’re actually afraid of but the fear of “being in love.” The fear of being somewhere they’ve always wanted and the fear of not being worthy enough of it.

Indeed, while rarely said, your opening sentence is deeply true!

Its interesting you posted this cause I was doing an image search for a post I recently wrote on fear of love (being in love and being loved) and its the first ever time I heard that term ‘philophobia’. This made me sit up and pay attention today!
