Those who have commitment issues, what's the reason?

I'm afraid to hurt them

I'm afraid to get hurt

I want to keep my options open, see if I can find better

I don't know why, I just get scared

Almost all of the above and More! My social anxiety holds me back a lot too. So I don't know how to connect with people. Sometimes I don't want to ruin a good friendship if she says no. I don't know if I'll be making a mistake dating her, what if down the line I do or say something stupid. I'm not sure if I can fully trust another person. I'm not sure if I'm good enough, or if they are good enough. All scary I've been single for so long, I guess I'm use to it. Even if I don't want to be single.

I'm afraid to both hurt them and get hurt. I'm also afraid of losing them as a friend too as in my personal experience, I've lost each person I dated after we ended things. Part of it was that we jumped in sooner than we should have. We never got to be friends first for long enough, which I think is important. I am afraid now of dating someone I even knew for a long time for the same reason despite the fact that I may not lose them completely if we end things in that case.

Depends on history or they just are pushed when not ready. Some take longer or to long to decide
