Perhaps it's based on an insecurity. Have you talked to your significant other about your relationship lately? Trust and security are two major parts of a relationship. If you are not sure of yourself, or your partner, you may need to communicate more.

This might seem a little simple but can you define what freak out means. how you freak out gives insight into why you freak out. Knowing specifics of behaviors helps us to determine why the behavior is happening.

Maybe you aren't used to them. Maybe it is something different from what you are used to and maybe even something you aren't quite ready for so you get nervous, you get anxious, and freak out.

Maybe you are just scared of getting attached. And when you bond with someone, it means a lot to you.

Find out the root of your problem - it may be due to trust issues, past betrayal, self-esteem, anxiety, paranoid thinking etc. Talk to your partner - communication is key, and seek help. It's important that you develop a trust or else your relationships will become unstable.

You could be scared of something going wrong in your relationship so you freak out over something that happens in your relationship. I wouldn't really know for sure why you freak out, but I do know most people freak out of fear. So you're scared of something.

Perhaps it can scale down to potentially two things - you could have either suffered or felt uneasy in a previous relationship, which you now take forward into any new relationship you've had.. Or you could just be afraid of commitment. Ultimately, you need to be happy within yourself and feel comfortable with the other person. If you're not? Then you need to ask yourself why.

Relationships are stressful. You have a person you care deeply about, and you want to make him/her happy. This sometimes takes focus away from your life and happiness, causing stress and confusion.

Because you're afraid of getting hurt or you're afraid you'll unconsciously hurt them too. You need to be comfortable enough to be with someone.

Scared of how you look. How you're acting. If you're making the other person look bad. That they'll dump you. All of these are reasons for freaking out and worrying.
