What is the difference between a man who is Narcissistic and a man who is a committment phobe? I have read both and I believe my X-OM has traits from both of these disorders. I just want another opinion as to the real differences in these two mental disorders and can a person have both. Thanks

I think well they have some similarities N is based on low self esteem rooted in childhood events, CPHOB is fear of getting hurt or rejection, this may also go back to childhood or painful adult or young adult relationships, N is over compansation for EGO DAMAGE and in a way so is CPHOB.

These are just my thoughts on the subject and not a professional opinion.

The long and the short of it is that YOU CANNOT FIX HIM.
