Are We Agape?

I've been thinking about the meaning of Agape and whether or not it does or can truly exist? I have at times throughout the course of this month, being aware of my love towards all living things around me, wondered if I am actually practicing this form of love known as Agape? Questioning particularly whether or not I bring this into my relationships with other people?

I know that in God's eyes we are all created equal. I know that my own belief system is that we are all human, we all come from the same biological and psychological place inherently. So why is it that when I meet certain people I am hesitant to allow them into my life for reasons such as feeling that we do not share the same views, lifestyle, or at times, interests? I'll often keep my distance from some individuals that do not respect my personal space. Even if he/she only seems to have the best intentions. I am aware of the fact that my body may be reacting to these relationships by using biological survival tactics, but then I ask, is this a learned fear? Are we born into this world loving unconditionally then conditioned to love only with conditions?
