What car troubles taught me about perfectionism
Often, when we’re chasing perfection, it can feel like everything goes wrong at once. One thing breaks, then another. A friend seems a bit distant and then an unexpected phone bill arrives. Before long, we start telling ourselves that everything has gone to shit and it’s all our fault.

Problem-Solving Methods To Overcome Commitment Anxiety
There is a deeper emotional experience that is the root cause of commitment anxiety than just being afraid of relationships. Hesitation could be due to past heartbreak, instability in childhood, the fear of losing independence, or negative thoughts regarding long-term relationships. The initial step to getting over the fear is by understanding these underlying factors. Self-reflection is used to make one appreciate the presence of emotion triggers, repetitive thoughts, and avoidance patterns. Having recognized the real cause of their anxiety, people are clear-headed and in charge. Increased awareness will help them to not be confused and react to relationships instead of being reactive to fear.
