Scared of Commitment

brightPenguin4569 December 14th, 2021

Hi everyone,

I've been thinking about relationships lately. It's been a long time since I last dated (about 7 years ago), and I feel that I have discovered why this is the case. On one hand, I feel that I'm not ready to settle -- but this is a story for another day. On the other hand, I am afraid to lose my autonomy. I am scared of losing myself in relationship that I can forget what it is that really matters in my life.

Has any of you been afraid of commitment? How did you handle it? Looking for input here.


Best regards,

Bright Penguin

I completely get it! I was the same, but I will tell you, when you meet someone who loves, respects and supports you, you are not losing your independence. They will admire and appreciate that about you. You will have to consider their feelings and needs, but as long as you communicate and discuss things, you can work it out.
