Is it normal to be deathly afraid of relationships?

Amy0825 comments on May 4, 2018:

I got divorced in October 2016 after 33 years of marriage. I'm just getting to the point where I'm considering looking for another relationship. The idea of another breakup has just been too much for me.

Does anyone have scars that they're self-conscious about?

Sticks48 comments on Apr 28, 2018:

I looked at your pictures. You are a very pretty lady. We are almost always more critical of our appearance than others are. Perfect is not always sexy. Carry yourself with confidence and no one will notice a couple of scars. ?
