• A selfish commitment phobic is someone who prioritizes their own needs and desires over those of their partner.
– They are the ones who would rather spend a Friday night alone binge-watching Netflix than going out on a date with their significant other. Their “me first” attitude can be frustrating to deal with, especially if you’re looking for a committed relationship.
• They may struggle with making plans for the future or committing to a long-term relationship.
– The idea of settling down and starting a family might send them running in the opposite direction. Commitment phobes often have difficulty envisioning themselves in any kind of serious long-term arrangement because they fear losing control over their lives.
• This behavior can stem from fear of losing independence or being tied down by another person.
– For some people, freedom is everything. Being able to do what they want when they want without having to answer to anyone else is incredibly important. Unfortunately, this mindset doesn’t always lend itself well to relationships where compromise and sacrifice are necessary components.
• Selfish commitment phobics tend to avoid serious conversations about the future of the relationship, leaving their partners feeling uncertain and insecure.
– If you’ve ever tried talking about your future together only for your partner’s eyes to glaze over as they change the subject back to something trivial like what toppings they want on their pizza – then you know exactly what it feels like dealing with someone who has no interest in planning ahead!
• They may also be prone to cheating or looking for validation outside of the relationship due to their fear of fully investing in it.
– When faced with feelings that make them uncomfortable (like love!), some people will actively seek ways out so that they don’t have face these emotions head-on. Cheating allows them an escape route while still keeping one foot firmly planted outside of intimacy land.
• It’s important for individuals dealing with a selfish commitment phobe  to set clear boundaries and communicate openly about their feelings and expectations.
– If you’re dating someone who is commitment-phobic, it’s important to lay out your expectations from the beginning. Communicate what type of relationship you want, whether that be casual or serious, so there are no surprises down the line.
• Therapy can be helpful in addressing underlying fears and insecurities that contribute to this behavior.
– There’s nothing wrong with seeking help if you need it! Therapy can provide a safe space for people to explore why they struggle with committing to others. It might not solve everything overnight but hey – baby steps!
• Selfish commitment phobics often have a history of failed relationships due to their fear of commitment.
– It’s hard work constantly running away from love! Commitment phobes tend to cycle through relationships quickly because once things start getting too real – they bail.
• They may also struggle with vulnerability and opening up emotionally, which can hinder the development of a deeper connection with their partner.
– Being vulnerable is scary! For some people showing any kind of weakness feels like an insurmountable obstacle. But without emotional intimacy, it’s difficult for any relationship (romantic or otherwise) Â to grow into something more meaningful.
• This behavior is not limited to romantic relationships and can also manifest in friendships or professional settings.
– You don’t have to be romantically involved with someone in order for them let you down when it comes time make plans together. A selfish attitude doesn’t discriminate between types of connections!
• A selfish commitment phobic may prioritize their own career goals over maintaining personal relationships, leading to feelings of isolation and loneliness.
– Sometimes ambition gets prioritized above all else; including friends & family. While there’s absolutely nothing wrong with working towards one’s dreams – making sure those around us feel valued should never fall by the wayside
• It’s important for individuals dealing with a selfish commitment phobe to practice self-care and focus on building strong support systems outside of the relationship.
– You can’t force someone else to change, but you can take care of yourself. Make sure that you have a solid network of people who love and support you (even if it’s just your dog!).
• In some cases, it may be necessary for an individual to end the relationship if their needs are consistently being neglected by a selfish commitment phobic.
– As much as we might want things to work out with our partners – sometimes they don’t! If you find that your partner’s behavior is leaving you feeling unfulfilled or unhappy despite attempts at communication – know when it’s time walk away.
