i know in my case i can be afraid of it, and although i have no problems with committing, its just i dont wanna be changed by a relationship and lose the excitement and adventure in my life. i would never want to lose my independence, and thats what scares me, the thought that i could eventually change to blend in with the rest of the world and become part of an 'average' couple (for someone like me who likes to stand out thats like a death sentence lol). its one of those thoughts that sticks out in the back of my head and drives me crazy but in the long run commitments a good thing if a person chooses to make it that way.
also i wouldnt want my partner to change for the worse either yknow

Probably just about everyone.
Some people wonder if their dream guy/gal will show up after they get married and cannot do anything about it (since no one is perfect, no one marries their dream person).
Some people do not trust themselves to handle the responsibility or to stay faithful.
And some people are afraid that their "significant other" will change into an unpleasant person after they know that they have got you hooked, and can relax.

In response to what the first person said, she obviously does not know what "commitment" means.
She got over her fear of commitment by redefining "commitment" to mean non-committal.

after my ex bf and mostly majority of the guys who i were in relationships with mistreated me, i was very skeptical about being in anymore committed relationships. i had been committed to them (no cheating or anything) and they weren't committed to me and i was fed up! my current bf help me put all of that behind me, even though i was like whatever at first, he helped me see that all guys aren't bad and can be committed as well.

There's quite a small percentage that does not want a relationship/marriage. There are so many reasons to mention. Some example are, they do not want to have children, they have their own careers, they do not want someone telling them what to do or not to do, etc.

I've never understood why some people fear it...it's not a life sentence, it just means you will be faithful to that person for as long as the relationship between the two of you is good and right for both.
If and when it runs its course, then the parties move on...what's to fear?
