Why does commitment scare the hell out of most people?
1. Scared of getting hurt?
2. Does not like possible restrictions or alterations of their normal lifestyle?
3. Feels inadequate to handle a relationship?
4. Too free-minded or independent?
5. Just cannot get enough s*x with just one person?
6. Afraid of responsibility?
7. Insecurity?
Please feel free to add to the list...

Some people just don't feel right having to commit to a single person, and some don't have to. I feel that maybe because the thought of being with someone for a long time is scary to them. They are afraid to maybe lose someone or not be able to make the relationship work.

I think it's a combination of all of those things, and I think some people may feel sort of trapped, as if, if something happens, they cannot go anywhere because they are in a committed relationship and they probably feel like, because they are in a committed relationship, they can't get out of it. I think it's a big sacrifice that people have to make and it's hard for some.

It could be any of those. I guess it depends on the individual, but I was told by one person that they didn't want to get involved before they were very sure, because they were afraid of being hurt, not for the first time, but the third. However, that was down to their own experiences of relationships or commitment, and every one of us is different.
Brightest Blessings.
