  1. You judge people in relationships

Are you of the opinion that your friends in relationships are losing out on life? Do you feel that relationships limit how much you can enjoy in life? You, my friend, are judging people in relationships. And that only goes to say that you do not agree with the idea of being in a relationship.

  1. You aren’t very open to people

When you have very set standards of what your ideal partner should be like, you are closing your mind to exploring the amazing people that you could be with. We all have a rough idea of what qualities we would like in our partner, however, that does not mean that you have everything noted down, right from the color of their hair to the kind of clothes they would wear. This increases your chances of remaining single.

  1. You are selective about who you hang out with

I know, we tend to get comfortable with some people easily. That’s how friendships are formed. However, if you are very selective with the kind of people you hang out with, won’t that limit your chances of meeting new people, and a possible future partner. However, if you make this choice knowing this well, you are running from commitment, my friend.

  1. You were cheated/ played with

Many times, commitment phobia stems from a deeper rooted problem. Many people who have been through a tough or bad relationship always have inhibitions of giving the same power to other people. So if you were in a relationship where you were cheated on or taken for granted, you are justified in having reservations against entering into a new relation.

  1. No strings attached

How amazing it is to not be responsible for another person. Life is complicated enough to take care if oneself, why complicate it further by involving others as well, right? This is the perfect reasoning a commitment phobic gives. If these lines are speaking the state of your mind, then yes, you have commitment issues.

  1. You are loud, and make people squirm away

If your behavior is loud enough to drive people away, there might be an underlying problem. Maybe, sub consciously, you do not want people to stay with you for longer period. If you are driving people away, that could only mean that you are running away from commitment.

  1. You joke about ‘monogamy’

A soul is big enough to love more than one. Who says one can have only one soulmate? We are here to spread love to as many people as we like. Single relationships do not fulfill the heart’s need for immense love – classic commitment phobia dialogues!

  1. Excuses, and excuses. You are all about excuses

When anybody asks you what went wrong with your last failed relationship, you have many excuses but no proper reason. Even when in a relationship, your partner asks you for your time and all you give them is excuses. If this is you, you have commitment issues written all over you.

  1. The chase is better than the deal

Just like the honeymoon period, you pursue a person simply because chasing is so much fun. It is more appealing to you than actually being in a relationship. You usually go after people who are hard to get and once you have impressed the other person, you lose all interest. Commitment issues couldn’t be described any better!
