Commitment

Although I see this word multiple times a day, I never search up its definition until one of my girl friends ( not girlfriend) told me that I was a commitment phobic. I was confused as I didn't understand what she meant by that. Now it is starting to make sense. I always wondered why did I always get cold feet when things started to get real, why did I run away like its a house on fire. Because I am afraid of commitment. I am afraid of this relationship thing. It probably has something to do with my thought process. Let me break it to you. I am 21 by the way. Let's say If a relationship has worked out, I have to spend rest of my life with only one girl, otherwise it is a break up which means everyone get hurt. It is a double edge sword for me.
See the problem is that I want to catch bigger fish but just when I thought I found one , the first thing I do is looking for red flags and flaws. I eventually ghosted them and feel like a jerk. Investing my time on another person other than my family members or friends seems like a waste. Although I hate dramas, I do care people and their emotions but I just can't bring myself to commit to just one girl. The idea of dying alone really does scare me though. Maybe I just haven't found the so called one like a typical romance movie. Anyway I am focusing on other things for now. Thanks for reading. :)

Although I see this word multiple times a day, I never search looked up its definition until one of my girlfemale friends ( not girlfriend) told me that I was a commitment -phobice.

Calling someone your "female friend" when talking to other people to avoid confusion with "girlfriend" is pretty common. You can add "phobe" onto the end of a word to as a description of someone who has a phobia. However, it sounds pretty informal and slangy in writing. "Afraid of commitments" might be better depending on how formal you want to sound

I was confused as I didn't understand what she meant by that.

Now it is starting to make sense.

I've always wondered why did I always get cold feet when things started to get real, why did I and run away like it's a house on fire.

BIt's because I am afraid of commitment.

It probably has something to do with my thought process.

Let me break it todown for you.

I am 21, by the way.

Let's say If a relationship has workeds out, I have to spend rest of my life with only one girl, o. Otherwise it is a break up, which means everyone gets hurt.

Starting a sentence with "Let's say" before describing a hypothetical situation is pretty common and natural sounding in spoken English, but also sounds a bit slangy and informal when in writing.

It is a double -edged sword for me.

Although I hate dramas, I do care about people and their emotions but I just can't bring myself to commit to just one girl.

The idea of dying alone really does scare me, though.

Sounds good! My only note would be that when you are talking about habitual actions, it is correct to use present-tense as opposed to past-tense (Unless you are talking about a habit you no longer engage in)

Thank you so much for your corrections!

Commitment

Although I see this word multiple times a day, I never search looked up its definition until one of my girlfemale friends ( not girlfriend) told me that I was a commitment phobictold me that I have a fear of commitment/I am afraid of commitment.

Using "female" instead of "girl" eliminates confusion.
I've never seen phobic attached to the end of an English word, although I wont say it's not done. That being said "to have a fear of commitment" or "to be afraid of commitment" are common expressions.

I was confused as I didn't understand what she meant by that.

I've always wondered why did I alwaysI get cold feet when things started to get real, why did I run away like its a house on fireand why I run away when things start to feel real.

BIt's because I am afraid of commitment.

I am afraid of thiserious relationship things.

Let me break it todown for you.

break it to = tell someone about bad news (The dog had died and the parents needed to break the news/it to the kids)
break it down = explain (These dance moves are a little complex, so let me break them down for you)

Let's say If a relationship has workeds out, I have to spend rest of my life with only one girl, o. Otherwise it is awe break up which meansd everyone gets hurt.

It is a double -edged sword for me.

See tThe problem is that I want to catch a bigger fish, but just when I thoughtwhenever I fouind one , the first thing I do is looking for red flags and flaws.

Using "see," at the beginning is more appropriate for casual conversation. I haven't often seen it in writing (even informal).

I eventually ghosted them and feel like a jerk.

Investing my time inton another person other than my family members or friends seems like a waste.

"to invest in(to)"

Although I hate dramas, I do care about people and their emotions but I just can't bring myself to commit to justonly one girl.

The idea of dying alone really does scare me though.

Maybe I just haven't found "the so called one like aOne" that all typical romance movies have.

Anyway, I am focusing on other things for now.

Well done! The first (and hardest) step to solving a problem is admitting you have the problem. I really enjoyed reading this because you have a really nice writing style and everything comes across really clearly. Keep it up and hopefully you'll find the One one day!
