I currently have feelings for someone who is emotionally unavailable. According to a mutual friend, she doesn’t want to be in a relationship… If this is happening to you, just move on. Do not put yourself in the same emotional pain that I am in. For the record, I was also emotionally unavailable for quite a while - more than a decade.

So what is the best would you advice someone in your case to do with that person? Are you helping them figure their way out or??

So all of us dudes have been conditioned to bottle our emotions, which can make for some uncomfortable situations and unfortunately, burn bridges and cause chaos. It's kind of sad that I'm here, but also it confirms most of what I believed beforehand. The premise of opening up and expressing ourselves is something that is valuable and should be cherished. Thank for you wonderful content like this as always.

Emotional unavailability is a description, not an indictment. It’s what happens from patterns and conditioning. Some of us have multiple protection layers like addictions and drama. Can be unlearned!!❤❤❤❤

Becoming aware of the pattern 🙏🏼

As a man this hits home for me like nothing else. I've always naturally been open, trusting, and love with my whole heart when I meet someone that I really like. Even if they're unavailable. My last relationship really did me in as the breakup was not my decision. I'm realizing that many months later, I'm struggling with emotional availability for the first time I can remember. It definitely feels unsafe to open up and express my feelings, which is backwards from where I want to be. The world just feels like such a dangerous place after placing my heart into someone's hands and having them cut me out of their life. It's like they walked away with it.

I can understand, I’ve been there a few times myself. The good news is we can heal and feel whole again. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you need some help.

When she said to practice with a friend, I wrote up a script of me thanking my best friend for everything he's done for me. I did not expect to be drenched in tears by the end of it. I think this was a good first step. Thank you.

This is spot on…. I’m definitely emotionally unavailable.

Great content! I think before sharing with others, in some cases it makes sense to start with journaling your feelings, or even checking in briefly with yourself a few times today and quickly recording how you feel. As someone who didn’t even understand their feelings, such exercises helped me learn to tune into myself and identify what was going on inside of me, so that eventually I could start sharing with others (which I am still working on).

I don't have problem with expressing emotions with my sister, or my friends but when it comes to relationship its difficult to explain. I have many crushes, and I don't have problem with finding people what I'm interested in, but when things get serious, I run. If someone shows interest in me and want to get serious, i lose interest. I don't know what to do😖

It’s not that I don’t want to open up about my feelings , or I am incapable of showing love and affection , it’s just that my body can’t respond to romantic feelings yet.

For me I have the feeling that I know what’s appropriate or not to share. I generally feel „this is not worth sharing“ or „there’s no point“ in sharing this, also my body feels numb, i don’t feel what I can say.

This is exactly what I experience. But I’m starting to realize that may be a sign that I’m emotionally unavailable (which I now realize I definitely am). Nothing seems appropriate to share if it actually makes me feel vulnerable

I can relate. She said one sign was being frightened by emotionally available men and my thought was, "and if they have never tried? What does that mean?" I can't think of any person who might have been available who has tried with me since high school. There might have been one in the past few months but I didn't notice until it was too late. (I wasn't frightened by him, I just didn't notice he might have been trying to be romantic). By the time I figured it out I couldn't ask him because I haven't seen him again, and I never got his number because I never took a small amount of interest in him. It's all frustrating.

Tots relate...

I’m so sorry you experienced that.

u look like ur from the sims4 not a bad or good thing just an insane observation like ur makeup n simplicity

I always assume 'the girl is autistic' if she's coming across 'cold.' My social scene involves people who attend live music events when we're performing (I play guitar in rock bands). Most women are pretty open because they are the ones who put themselves in my scene, they are there voluntarily. So if a girl is around and is always 'clammed up' I just figure 'autistic' And maybe other women who come across 'cold' are at the edges of the autism 'spectrum' I don't know. Is it normal to 'clam up'? 1) autistic? 2) depression, including mild depression 3) high IQ 4) wealthy People with above normal intelligence - that can be 'socially isolating.' It feels like watching people write 4+4=8 on a white board as if they don't already realize that. Hard to be patient when you feel like the people around you face 'intellectual hurdles' that you do not. Wealthy women and the wealthy in general learn to be 'on guard' and may come across 'cold.' If you're depressed, hit the track and run some laps. Get in top physical shape. Good luck out there!

I'm emotionally unavailable

I've been going through a "breakup" which looks like an intense situationship being downgraded to a "casual" thing. I had feelings for this girl, and it hurt a lot when she told me she can't be my "primary romantic interest." Now I feel extremely emotionally unavailable to other people. Thing is... I have lots of friends I can share my emotions with. I become vulnerable with my friends all the time. Should I expect to be emotionally unavailable for just a temporary period? Feel like whenever someone is available for me, I'm unavailable for them and vice versa.

@thereallovealchemist

Жыл бұрын

It’s normal to go through a temporary period of unavailability with potential romantic partners while you’re working through the feelings you have for this person. My recommendation would be to work with a professional so the unavailability doesn’t turn into a long-term thing, which it sometimes does.

Fml you just described me
