Is it normal to fear love?

I've never been in love and to be honest I don't think I want to. I thought I was when I was 19, I moved in with a guy and we lasted a year a half (my longest relationship). That ended in tears but I realised I never loved him. I've been out with guys since, I have been VERY hurt since and it makes me think "If this hurts so much, how much is love going to hurt?"
Yes I've heard good things about love but most of the stories I hear are horrible. I'm crazy enough as it is and I think love would just tip me over the edge lol. It's got to the point where if I'm getting close to someone I instantly push them away, at what point should I be worried and think I should be in a mental home?

    you obviously just haven't met the right person yet. I'm not gonna lie, love can be the most stupidest most saddest and most painfulest feeling you go through but when you find the right person you won't want to push them away you realise that you want to be with this person forever. The fact you only hear bad things about love makes you think that love isn't worth it , thus makes you push people away, but really having someone tell you that thay love you and want to be with your forever. Hvaing someone who cares for you and would do anything to keep you happy, surely that means something in this crazy world?

    Only fall into love with a man that has a beautiful heart. That way you won't get hurt.
