Fear?: It is possible sometimes to become extremely fearful, especially if this person has harmed you in the past and you feel threatened by him or her. I have known people who could not speak when afraid -- it's like a "freeze" response. If you've experienced a trauma, please tell your doctor and/or therapist about it. Also keep yourself safe.
