Philophobia is defined as the abnormal, persistent and unwarranted fear of falling in love. This affects the quality of life and pushes a person away from commitment. It also triggers various symptoms that may incorporate sweating, irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath, feelings of dread, nausea and feeling of restlessness. The worst aspect of fear of being in love and falling in love is that it keeps a person in solitude.

Marie Antoinette did not say “let them eat cake” when she heard that the French peasantry were starving due to a shortage of bread. Philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau coined the expression himself and he did not use the exact words but actually Qu’ils mangent de la brioche (“Let them eat brioche”).
