“he must overcome his fear of losing what he loves most” — which is what? His independence, his privacy? If so, it’s a valid internal conflict, but there has to be outward manifestation of it, an objective goal. Eventually, he must choose between his flaw — or taking a risk for the grand prize of life: love.
Like the protagonist Ryan Bingham in “Up in the Air”. His job keeps him flying all the time, enables his preference for relationships with benefits but no commitments. Finally, he risk all for love. Okay, that choice ends with a shocking reveal and failure. It takes an A-list actor like George Clooney to pull off that kind of ending.
But the plot point remains: Clooney’s character finally risked all, put all his emotional chips in the pot for love and relationship.
What is the greatest risk your protagonist must take? What are the chips he must finally push into the pot, not knowing what card he will be dealt next?

When a runaway convict becomes trapped on a runaway train, he must choose between saving his life and being recaptured or dying a free man.
25 words. Yeah, I know it strips out the complications of the 2 other passengers, the warden in hot pursuit, yada-yada, but the hook, the truly compelling aspect of the story is the awful existential choice the plot forces the protagonist to make: live the rest of his life in a hellish prison run a sadistic warden or die a free man.
