I fear all aspects of it. Emotional, physical, etc. Due to this I've pushed prospective boyfriends away, rejected the one I actually had for a whole week, etc.
Is there anyway to just...fix this?

I find all levels of intimacy hard. With my friends, children, grandchildren, parents. I wish I knew the magic potion that would help me get over this. It takes time from what I hear.

thanks everyone.
Rhap - im not sure exactly what it is that scares me. all i know is that if i start to get close to someone, i get so worked up that i eventually cut it off, or cut them off, and only after i do that do i feel any kind of relief. its like i think about it 24/7 and worry worry worry until its over. i wish i knew how to fix it, but im trying my best.

It's one of the hardest things, and I think most of the time it resumes to just plain and old "Fear".
It happens to me too, and I'm trying really hard. Take small steps. Sometimes things we think we are never get over, are not so hard after all, but do baby steps, just to find your confort zone and then move one from there. I hope it works our for the best!
