Men Have a Fear of Intimacy ~ Fact of Fiction?

A common reason for a man’s fear of intimacy could be due to their past. Men won’t commit if they have witnessed their parents in the past arguing or rowing and these experiences cause many men to fear intimacy. Their childhood memories could be an unhappy one. They may not have been brought up in a happy family household. If their parents didn’t get along then they would have seen this situation as normal family life and will damage a man’s perception of relationships and his fear of intimacy. A mans fear of commitment will cause him to become much more cautious of committing himself to a stable relationship if he has been brought up in an unhappy environment.

It is not until men experience a different family relationship that they gradually realize that not all families argue and fight and his fear of intimacy will change. They see how families relate to one another in a different light. They see them talk and discuss situations, plan and negotiate with one another, make arrangements to go out together as a family and, above all, make sure that everyone in that family is happy with the living situation. This is a situation that works for most families and once a man experiences this for himself he then knows that all families are brought up differently and that he has no real reason to have a fear of intimacy.

It is then, with great care, that he realizes that he too would one day like to become part of a happy family. Now that this has opened his eyes he may wish to transform his thinking that caused him to have a fear of intimacy and consider a long term engagement. It will take a long time to convince a man that he has no need to have a fear of intimacy in a relationship. If he takes a relationship slowly then he will gradually see for himself that he too can be part of a caring, sharing, happy family.

Another reason some men have fear of intimacy could be due to the fact that they wish to explore life to the full. They may have dreams, hopes, ambitions to travel the world and experience as many different ways as possible of how people exist in different parts of the world. There are many reasons why men have a fear of intimacy and won’t commit themselves to a stable relationship but if you take things slowly, build up each others trust and let time take its course then you will be well on the way to establishing a great relationship. Then all he will need is time to realize for him self that there is no reason for his fear of intimacy.

Of course there will always be men who will not commit and will always create a reason why they carry a fear of intimacy. This may be due to that fact that they wish to live on their own and come and go as they please only seeing other people when they please. Although this can be a very lonely life, it is their choice and they obviously enjoy their own company and want to do things in their own way in their own time.
