Commitment Phobia? Consider Bach Remedies.
Commitment is a broad term and is generally used when you are dedicating yourself to something for a long time, whether it’s a job, a goal, a city, or a relationship. This word tends to come up most often in the context of long-term relationships. Some signs that can help you understand if you have commitment phobia
Abruptly end relationships
Fear of getting in wrong relationship
Avoid labels like girlfriend or boyfriend
Have trust issues for one reason or other
Hesitant to open up emotionally
