It could be that you are possibly scared of commitment or even that there may be trust issues in the relationship. It also could be that you're trying to find faults in the relationship or even are trying to compare it to an old one. Each relationship should start off as a clean slate.

Maybe because you have history with your last relationship. Or because you want to be in the perfect relationship and being a perfect partner to your partner

Sometimes we fell scared of the compromise, we fell so good with our freedom that probably we had the idea that being with someone else can condition us, and lock ourselves.

I think you have to look inside yourself to answer this question. For instance, relationships bother me because I have been hurt by too many people and I don't want to hurt anymore. I try not to let anyone in and when I do I start to worry, my anxiety levels are through the roof - generally not a good time at all. Perhaps taking the time to discover if this is based off an event that took place in the past could help immensely. You never know what you may discover. Also, we are always here to help!

You may have had a bad experience before, or maybe you are new to things. It's okay to be unsure of how to do things or how to have a successful relationship. In a good relationship, these are the things you discuss with your partner.

If you have had bad relationships previously, you might be nervous about repetitions of that. Usually it is a learned behavior, from either your own relationships or from relationships you've seen. For example, if you watched your parent(s) go through bad relationships you may be worried that the same thing may happen to you as well.

You may have trust/intimacy issues. Reflect on your past relationships with people of the same gender (romantic and non-romantic). Also, recognize that when you really like someone, it's natural to be fidgety!
