I’m kinda freaking out right now.
My DM finally told me they love me, but instead of feeling over the moon, I’m suddenly filled with doubt and fear. It’s like my brain is trying to find every reason why this won’t work, even though I’ve wanted this for so long. It feels like I day dreamed about this constantly and now it’s happening I don’t understand my own reaction.
Has anyone else felt this overwhelming urge to run when things finally start happening with their twin?

What you’re experiencing is actually pretty normal for twin flames (and might even be a good thing). When your connection shifts from spiritual/emotional longing into physical reality, it can trigger deep-seated fears and protective mechanisms.
Your soul recognizes the profound depth of this connection, and your human self may feel overwhelmed by its intensity.
Think of it like standing at the edge of the ocean - you’ve been dreaming of swimming in these waters forever, but when you’re finally there, the vastness and power of it can feel intimidating. This is because twin flame love operates at a much deeper level than regular relationships.
The doubt and fear arising now are likely old wounds and limiting beliefs coming to the surface to be healed. Your system is doing a final “safety check” before allowing this profound connection to fully manifest. Rather than seeing these feelings as a problem, try viewing them as your soul’s way of ensuring you’re ready for this next phase.
This is what you want if you really want to go the distance together.
So happy for you! Let us know how it goes!
I reconnected after months apart. Our journey has been full of running and chasing, with me often playing the reluctant runner. At one point, I was convinced I wanted out - the intensity was overwhelming, yet somehow not enough. But after taking some space, I realized how much love and joy they brought to my life.
I decided to ditch my fears and expectations, and boom! We clicked back together so easily. You might be worried that things will change in that time apart but if anything I think you’ll be closer this time around.
Your reaction is actually a clear signal that this is genuine twin flame energy at work.
That intense urge to run when your twin flame expresses love comes from the fear-based push-pull dynamic that activates between twin flames. Your energy is trying to protect itself by creating doubt and fear - it’s not about the confession itself but about the intensity of the soul connection being acknowledged.
This isn’t just normal relationship anxiety. When twin flames come together, it triggers a profound energetic response that can feel overwhelming because it’s operating at the soul level, not just the emotional level.
If you’ve come this far, you’ll be able to spot where these feelings are truly coming from as things go. It might have caught you by surprise but this is absolutely a good thing.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, then take a step back and breathe. If your instinct is to run, then pause and reflect on why. If old fears are surfacing, then see them as opportunities for growth. If the intensity feels too much, then communicate this to your twin.
Remember, if this is truly a twin flame connection, then facing these challenges together will only strengthen your bond in the long run.

Hey, I’ve totally been there with the overthinking and doubting. It’s like your mind goes into overdrive trying to figure everything out about your connection. But honestly? The more I tried to analyze it, the more confused I got.
What helped me was just… letting go.
Things got clearer when I stopped trying to make sense of every little sign or sync. Just sit with your feelings, even the messy ones. Sometimes, your gut knows more than your brain, especially with this twin flame stuff. Don’t let your thoughts trick you into doubting your feelings.
Just breathe and trust the process, you know?
Absolutly! The initial reaction is to get as far away from them as possible. Like everyone else said, its a normal and natural occurance. Many refer to this experience as “soul shock”. It’s pretty much what you’re experiencing right now.
Precisely right @Ellasi. This experience is soul level! Our regular human bodies (or vessels) are not nornally prepared to deal with this level of energetic intensity. It requires practice and preparation, like an athlete training for a marathon.
Most important thing to do is to BREATHE! @Erinlight
Practice the 4 X 4 X 4 method of breathing, or Box Breathing. This will help ground you and ease your anxiety.
