Philophobia is the fear of which of the following?
Philophobia is the fear of falling in love. Not included in the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders). The risk is usually when a person has confronted any emotional turmoil relating to love but also can be a chronic phobia.
This affects the quality of life and pushes a person away from commitment. A negative aspect of this fear of being in love or falling in love is that it keeps a person in solitude. It can also evolve out of religious and cultural beliefs that prohibit love. It represents certain guilt and frustration towards the reaction coming from inside.

Interesting. Approach Love with an open mind and soul. One moment at a time.

It helps to know the meaning of Latin roots.

My old pastor once cracked up his congregation by saying "Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love... unless you're on the Schuylkill Expressway!"

Easy if you know what the other choices are, lol.

Easy if you know that "phile" is a suffix for "lover of," such as bibliophile (books) and Francophile (France or French).

JohnnyRoulette, your comment sounds philosophical and interesting. I pressed 'see other replies' but none are listed.
