Afraid of getting hurt, afraid of hurting others. Fear of being alone. Past experiences have caused fear of rejection.

Either because you don't have any other place to focus ,so you are constantly thinking again and again about the relationship.....or, you have adverse work conditions ,like bad social life at work .....
No matter what the case ,it can easily be corrected

Relationships are scary, especially if it's been a little while since you've been in a relationship. Love, affection, change, giving attention is different and change is difficult. Plus we don't want rejection or negativity or drama in relationships

Sometimes you are not ready to be committed to someone. That's ok, give it time and have patience. Don't rush it

Insecurity and low self-limit can cause silly issues or not getting the text you want, when you want it, can cause freak outs over nothing. Its time to work on yourself!

Perhaps you are just overwhelmed by different factors in the relationship. It could be the lack of control you have sharing your life with someone else or it could be just out of the norm for your own self. Regardless I think it's normal to be a little frazzled in a relationship

This is a hard question as there could be more than one answer. The reason could be due to fear, or because of past experience or anxiety. All of these need support, it would be an idea to seek support form a listener to discuss these problems further, or a therapist for more urgent problems.

It could be the trauma of a failed past relationship that is affecting you.
It could also be the fear of commitment, relationships, proper ones, really involve you revealing your true self to someone else and if you care about that person the fear that they may reject some part of you can be paralyzing.

Relationships are scary! It could be commitment, it could be time, energy or even just feeling stuck with one person! Everyone finds relationships difficult for different reasons. Taking a relationship at your own pace, that keeps you comfortable while communicating well with your partner can prevent the 'freak out' feeling!

Beginning a new relationship is not easy. You want to please the other person but sometimes doing that gives you the impression that you are loosing bits of yourself. We all are complicated beings and adjust to someone else needs work. If you think this someone is worth it, try to understand what makes you freak out and what you can do to ease this sensation.
