Margaret Ronald... there's fear that keeps you safe, and fear that warns you, and then there's fear of another sort. The kind that makes you turn on your friends, that irises the world down to one frightened person.
About This Quote
The fear of being alone not only scares people into being alone, it can also create a rift between them and their friends. The idea of being alone is so frightening that people become paranoid that they will have to be alone forever. However, being afraid of being alone doesn’t have to be that way. There are ways to make sure you won’t be lonely forever.
One of the most important things to know is the difference between the fear of being alone and the fear of being left behind. The fear of being alone can cause many problems, especially in relationships where people are afraid to be single for fear it will end their relationship with their partner. They end up pushing away anyone who approaches them because they are expecting their partner to be there for them at all times.
