commitment phobia

Commitment phobia is a term used to describe an intense fear or apprehension about making long-term commitments in relationships, careers, or other aspects of life. People with this phobia often struggle with the idea of being tied down, which can lead to avoiding serious relationships or making decisions that require dedication. This fear may stem from past experiences, such as trauma or witnessing unhealthy relationships, leading to a desire for freedom and independence. While it can create challenges in forming lasting connections, understanding and addressing these fears can help individuals work towards healthier relationships.
