WHY Posted August 21, 2001 Share Posted August 21, 2001 YOU SAY : " Fear of intimacy. Fear of having a long term relationship. Fear of losing freedom. Fear of responsibility"??? Issue is why?? In other words, what are the root causes of those symptoms? There is no question that genetic survival is the single most important goal of all humans, and even supercedes personal survival, accordingly, it's hardly radical to suggest its nexus to someone " sabotaging" relationships.

Tony T Posted August 21, 2001 Share Posted August 21, 2001 There are many reasons why people fear intimacy. Since the root cause if fear, you can't get much more root than that. Sometimes people fear long term relationships because the relationship between their mother and father was not good as they were growing up; sometimes they fear the responsibility intimacy requires. You may need to see a good counsellor to see why you have problems with relationships. Link to post Share on other sites
