How can one view love so it is not something TOO GOOD?

Or too good to be true also.

I have had fear around love for many years...basically my subconscious equates love with something serious and essentially too good for me. I do not offer a partner a lot as far as fun escapades or adventures. I have PTSD which prevents me..(now anyways)..from many social things. But on the whole, probably because I grew up in severe abuse, I put a LOT of pressure on love..mainly that it feels too special for someone like me. How could one reframe a view on love?💖🩵

I can relate a little. No woman has ever fallen for me, so I don't expect it. It may never happen.

I have fallen for many women, though. They usually do not like it. It has made me more cautious over time.

It is less of a stressor these days. I used to get depressed, feel like life was passing me by. Now, all I care about is landing this plane of life, taxiing to a comfy lounge, and resting until the airport closes. If a lady wants to share a coffee with me in the first class lounge, that would be nice. Otherwise, I will log on here. Free WiFi! LOL!
