Abstract

The concept of twin flames is explored in the article, emphasizing the profound emotional and spiritual bond that exists between them. This connection is described as both beautiful and terrifying due to its intensity and the transformative impact it has on both individuals. The article delves into the reasons for fear within these relationships, attributing it to the twin flames' deep knowledge of each other's vulnerabilities, the triggering of past wounds, and the fear of change and abandonment that comes with such an intense connection. It suggests that the journey involves a process of self-discovery and healing, where each twin flame must confront their shadows and insecurities, and learn to embrace vulnerability as a source of strength rather than weakness.

Opinions

  • Feminine energy, while more open to healing and discovery, may struggle with the belief that their love can fix everything and may feel unloved when their efforts seem ineffective.
  • The intensity of the twin flame connection can lead to a fear of change and the unknown, as it challenges the twin flames to confront parts of themselves they may have previously ignored or hidden.
  • The article posits that the fear of abandonment is a common issue in twin flame relationships, stemming from a lack of experience with unconditional love and leading to feelings of unworthiness.
  • The transformative aspect of the twin flame journey is seen as both positive and anxiety-inducing, as it necessitates the breakdown of old patterns and the birth of a new self, which can be a disorienting process.
  • The author suggests that twin flames can use their deep connection to help each other heal, but this requires overcoming fear and embracing the shadows within themselves and each other.

3 Powerful Reasons Why Twin Flames Fear Each Other

Fragility between twin flames triggers our deep wounds

When we meet our twin flames and after a while we realize what this powerful energy is, we say: It’s unlike anything I’ve experienced before. It’s both terrifying and stunningly beautiful.

This is how the twin flame journey can be summed up in one sentence. This spiritual relationship is an experience that is so dark that a person cannot dare to enter but also burns with curiosity and longing. It is so intense that it prompts us to take a very deep interest in ourselves. But our focus is on the person we are totally in love with this new and intense energy. We ignore ourselves. And with this intensity, we give all our power to our twin.

Unless we return to ourselves, the relationship begins to lose its excitement and move toward a deep separation. Because we begin to see in ourselves the same things that hurt us in our twin. We cannot help each other. At this point, the universe separates us to protect us from each other.

In this article, we’ll take an in-depth look at why twin flames fear each other and run away.

Is it intense love between twin flames that causes fear?

The spiritual dimension of the twin flame journey always creates more fear in a twin. This is the masculine energy whose ego is stronger. The masculine energy is the side with more logical and material world demands on the journey. They are afraid of their feelings and do not want to feel weak. The masculine energy comes face to face with the emotions that it has been able to overcome before on its twin flame journey. This time, they avoid this feeling because feeling their feelings makes them feel different. Because masculine energy does not want to change its life where it comes closest to its essence.

The feminine energy, on the other hand, thinks that with the love inside, it can always fix everything. Feminine energy continues to chase her twins because she thinks their love will be good for her twin flames. But they also wonder why the power of their love is not reaching them.

Feminine energy, feeling unloved, needs to stand up with the power of the healer and draw its own power out of fear. Because the feminine twin flames are the illuminator of the path. Without light, darkness will grow with fear.

It’s natural for twin flames to be afraid of each other. Because the intensity of emotion in the twin flame connection affects both sides simultaneously. Change is at the door. Both masculine and feminine energies feel it. But a liking for change is something rarely found in people’s cellular memory. Therefore, both parties try to protect themselves with methods they know on a subconscious level.

At this point, everyone’s weak points and shadow aspects will differ. I’ve always been a person who finds it hard to trust. Because after years of struggling with my own insecurities and feelings of worthlessness, choosing whom to trust was not easy. I often tried to close my heart to protect it from disappointment. The only place where I couldn’t close my heart was my twin flame.

Here are 3 powerful reasons why twin flames fear each other

Twin flames know each other’s deepest insecurities

We have behaviors that we don’t want anyone to know, so we wear various masks. The most tiresome thing in life is that we cannot be our true selves. Just like choosing a different outfit for each day, we develop a different persona for each person. Because we believe that is what keeps us safe, we always run from the sides we fear to face. But we can’t hide anything from our twin flame because on a spiritual level we know everything about each other.

While this is more acceptable for feminine energy (because discovery and healing start from the feminine side first), for masculine energy this is a pretty scary disaster. Masculine energy cannot bear to be known by someone else, only parts of it that it knows and carefully conceals. The masculine energy whose ego is damaged enters a fast-running phase.

Allowing yourself to be fragile on the twin flame journey is a common lesson to be learned. Being vulnerable is not being ashamed of our feelings. Because our emotions never make us weak. It just shows us where we stumbled. That’s why we have to protect them. And we should be thankful that there is someone who understands us without having to explain ourselves to anyone.

Fragility between twin flames triggers fear of abandonment

Each twin flame is tested on this journey in areas where it is fragile. If we are not aware of our sensitive points, they can frighten us and trigger us even more. When the masculine energies on the twin flame journey open their feelings completely to someone, this situation created a fear of abandonment in them, as they often thought that they were broken. Since the divine masculine energy is not resistant to pain, they take the runner position and shut themselves down instead of feeling the pain.

Our fear of abandonment catches us most trying to fall in love. It says our efforts are in vain. But in fact, the fear of abandonment reflects our own worthlessness. This feeling of worthlessness is a result of never having experienced unconditional love before. We do not consider ourselves entitled to what we imagine ourselves to be. For this reason, we always grow a fear that someone will leave us.

The death of the old and the birth of something new create anxiety

When we live our lives according to certain rules for a long time, we begin to create an order that we cannot break even if it is toxic. The entry of the twin flame into our lives means the destruction of any beliefs, people, or habits that do not work for us in this order.

When we let go of a part of our life that has been with us for a long time, we feel lost and devastated. Building a new life is harder than ever. After a long time, when I get over my emotional turmoil, I understand why my twin flame is afraid of me.

I had given him the honesty and emotional intensity that no one else had in his life. I was very open and vulnerable with him about my feelings. This surprised me, too, as I had a side of myself that I hadn’t shown to anyone before.

I forced him to feel deeply, notice his habits, and wake up from the illusions he blindly believed in. It drove him crazy to question his life and realize that something was wrong. But now I know that he was aware of some things but still couldn’t move from fear. And I am happy that everything is progressing as it should.

In summary, twin flames can fear each other. This is an important dynamic of the twin flame. The intensity of the emotion we experience burns us. The place where we should spend this energy is to heal the wounds within us. But this is not so easy either, as we see all the shadows in each other. In order to minimize our triggers, it will be important to set up a daily relaxation routine that is good for us.
