Is it normal to be scared of a new relationship?
Mostly.Normal for most people
Yes, it’s normal to feel scared when a relationship is new. Getting close to someone can feel exciting and vulnerable at the same time, especially if you’ve been hurt before.
A new relationship brings a lot of uncertainty: you’re figuring out what the other person feels, how much to open up, and whether it’s safe to trust them. Even when things are going well, that vulnerability can make you nervous. Lots of people feel some version of this.
