So... I'm a mature INFP. But when it comes to matters of the heart, I always feel really shakey, scared, immature, inexperienced...
I was in a long term relationship which ended a couple of years ago, I had a hard time leaving it, it was an unhealthy situation. But I did and now I've met someone else. And I really like them. At first I was cautious, and their advances were a little unsettling to me, I kept myself apart to a degree, held my feelings at bay. But now suddenly I feel like I'm unraveling and I'm feeling really strong feelings. It feels so intense and even painful and certainly a little like insanity and like I've lost control. I think this is why I hold myself back from romantic situations, because if I allow myself to feel anything I feel this landslide. If I give my heart to someone I give it all. In my last relationship I lost myself completely, I'm scared of that happening again. I don't know what I'm asking here exactly. Can anyone relate or give advice?
