Yes, it is sad to know that fear hinders you from doing the things that can make you feel happy again, the things that once mattered or brought joy into your life, and the things that assured you that your humanity is intact and functional. And it's even sadder when you are aware that you can overcome this fear and be happy again. But then again, it is not that easy to forget the pain brought about by the things, events and circumstances that seemed right but we were quite wrong.
People who have experienced heartbreaks may positively think that at least, as the saying goes, "It's better to have loved and lost than to have never loved/been loved at all." Up to some extent, it is a concedeable fact that love is something that no human being would not like to feel, not unless you're already six feet under. No one wants to be NOT loved. No one wants NOT to love someone else. Love is human nature. But this human nature does not exist on a vacuum or a controlled environment. It occurs in an environment wherein ones actions can alter one person's beliefs, feelings, strengths and even fears.
Love without pain is not love. That's why even if some things in the past seemed right but turned out to be the opposite, never let them hinder you from loving again. Learn from the pain, become a better person and you'll find peace in loving again by then.
A principle can be crafted so you can get past the pain and it can be simplified into 3 Bs: Bounce Back Better.
