Examine the reasons why you might be afraid of commitment. A fear of commitment is likely the result of past experiences. Consider what events in your life may have contributed to your fear. A therapist or close friend may be able to help you with this by being there to listen to you.

You may also consider talking with family members you consider “safe” to get more information on what took place during your childhood. Keep in mind that trauma and your age at the time of the experience may affect your memory.
