Why do I find attractive people frightening?

Attraction is a double-edged sword; it can draw you in with beauty while simultaneously threatening your freedom to be yourself.

— Osho
According to Osho, attractive people feel frightening because their beauty exerts power and magnetism that threatens your freedom. The deeper the attraction, the stronger the pull to cling, depend, and become possessed—raising fear of losing yourself. Love and freedom conflict; without awareness, attraction and fear arise together. Beauty empowers the other to possess you, while insecurity seeks control, creating impossible demands and anxiety.

You’re scared because strong attraction makes you worry you’ll lose your freedom and become dependent.
