4 Subtle Signs They're Emotionally Unavailable

How do I know if they are emotionally unavailable? Here are 4 subtle signs to look out for.

Emotionally unavailable behaviors can be difficult to spot, especially in the early stages of dating, when we’re trying to see red flags through a haze of lust.

Fear of rejection can lead us to normalize patterns that we should be wary of.

An emotionally unavailable person is someone who finds it difficult to receive love and other deep emotions; they struggle to understand their partner’s feelings, because they are often out of touch with their own emotions.

Emotional unavailability can manifest itself in a number of different ways.

Some people avoid dating, affection, or intimacy.

Other people might put up walls or pull away when involved in romantic relationships.

Emotional unavailability can be the result of many factors, including different types of trauma, how someone was raised by their primary caregivers, and mental-health conditions such as anxiety and depression.

Emotional unavailability is often a defense mechanism for people who have been hurt by loved ones in the past.
