Avoiding commitment out of fear of over-commitment is a problem, but there there is also a danger in taking on more than we think we can handle, because that can lead to feeling overwhelmed and becoming paralyzed and unable to do anything. Probably this affects some personality types more than others. To me it's better to gradually build up confidence in how much we can handle--especially since the inability to say 'no' is such a prevalent disease in some circles.
