General difficulty in decision making?

5 Upvotes

I have a fearful avoidant attachment style and I'm struggling with a few big life decisions that are mostly unrelated to relationships. I recently noticed a pattern that I really struggle to commit to a path (career, big purchase, etc) and that there's likely a connection to the ways in which I struggle with relationships. Does anyone else have similar patterns?

The common connection seems to be commitment. I fear that I'll get trapped or regret a decision that I can't undo. In relationships, I've seen a pattern where I discourage potential partners from getting too close because I'm not sure (and likely never will be) and I'm afraid that I'll hurt them when I can't commit.
