Where Are My Commitment Issues Coming From

Have you been told that you have commitment issues?

People who have commitment issues often find it difficult to commit in the long term. This isn’t necessarily romantic commitments but also commitments to friendships, business ventures, or other long-term goals.

So, if you often find yourself unable to commit despite wanting to, it’s evident that you have unresolved commitment issues. On the other hand, if you don’t actually want to commit—you simply don’t want to, and there are no issues there.

However, if you often fall in the former category, here are a few reasons that may explain your commitment issues.

You Like Staying in Your Comfort Zone

Sometimes people don’t like the idea of committing simply because the commitment would bring about change—a change they don’t necessarily want to experience.

So, if you’re someone who likes staying in their comfort zone and if you like leading a life you’re familiar with, commitment can seem like a big and scary transformation. In this scenario, the best approach is to take baby steps and make small changes before making bigger and more permanent commitments.

You’re Used to Self-Sabotaging

Do you often self-sabotage because you don’t believe that good things are meant for you? Many people may feel that way, but it’s important to remind yourself that you deserve all the good things that come your way—you’re worth it!

A lot of us subconsciously self-sabotage, and this may happen due to traumatic childhood experiences or repeatedly bad experiences in past relationships. This makes you steer away from any relationship that’s heading toward a more serious route.  

If this is a cause behind your commitment issues, it’s important to remind yourself that your past experiences don’t define you or your future.

Your Family History Could Be the Reason

For many people, their commitment issues come from their family history. When you’ve seen your parents go through divorces or unhealthy relationships, you subconsciously start to expect the same in your life.

However, it’s important to remember that everyone is different, and so are our relationships. Our relationships don’t necessarily have to end the same way as our parents’ relationships did. We have the power to learn from their mistakes.
