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 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.
emotionally unavailable relationships feels safe in the bad sense. no depth to communication, all are just superficial chats. this was how i felt when i was an anxious. after a breakup, i self reflected and am im learning to open up. meeting different people. yes, some would be kinda put off by what i shared. but there are those who can reciprocate as well. i think these are emotionally available people who may be secure too.
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!!❤❤❤❤
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.
i finally realized that i am unavailable & my energy was attracting the toxic people then i found this video. thank you so much for breaking it down logically ! i’m now stepping into my healing journey.
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 have always been very guarded with my emotions and personal feelings. I can definitely trace it back to my childhood. I finally met a guy who seems genuinely nice and like he cares but my brain just wants me to protect myself and run. I want to learn to open up to him.
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.
It sounds like you may need to "take a step back", create some regular space/time for solitude(time specifically for you and God-- and no one else), and deepen your faith whatever that may be in to give you greater clarity, perspective and lastly, insight into what your next steps relationship-wise should be.
If someone is intetested in you you get turned off by that .this is a key phrase in this videp .this is due to low srlf esteem (if they like me its because they are not good rnough).
This is hands-down the best video on getting over emotional unavailability I've seen to date! Thank you so much for putting this information out there!
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😖
Thank you for this video it’s truly enlightening. I’ve been emotionally unavailable after experiencing long periods of immense emotional trauma , which made me numb. 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.
being here and read these notes. Keep on healing. You are already awesome. You are only getting awesomer to become more and more awesome as you go on. Trust in the journey not the destination. Relax. Keep loving yourself. You'll get where you want to be. You are capable and lovable. There is only ever gonna be one of someone as unique and beautiful as you are. Might as well be the best at being you. You have gifts to share with this world really needs that only you can do. Chase after what brings you the most joy and the rest will come your way. It starts with knowing what you really want. Never let anyone put you offvuiur dreams. Follow your own path in light and love. You are the light and love. Let it shine as seecwhst happens and have fun with the ride. If you know or meet someone who truly gets and loves whatever type of humor you have. There's the some one special for you that you can last forever with in happiness and harmony if that's what you want. Everything thing in life is temporary and won't last forever. So, during the down times, honor how you feel by allowing yourself to be ok with the experience and open to what you might learn from it by getting curious about it all. Know this too shall pass soon enough. Practice gratitude. Then enjoy the good times too the fullest you can without any fear of the down moments. Give yourself skbeyhibg to look forwards to and work towards that to keep moving forward as you live in the present moment. Reflect on what you know you can do and be best. Accepting your life matters and so does everyone else's. You are very special AND judt like everyone else. Still highly important to be your you your way to do your part in this human human as we all have the same duty and purpose to self actualize as a member of the human race, we all must do to become a successful happy human.
Thank you! Explained so clearly and uncomplicated. I would like to share it with a friend that I really care about. But either way it always feels like I'm bothering him. Makes me feel guilty to contact him. I mean well 💘
You’re very welcome! It sounds like you do mean well. Generally, people aren’t open to information like this unless they’re ready to heal. You can always ask if he’s open to it before you share.
Because I’m like “I’m so pretty and smart and funny and I have a nice ass” but when someone I like says they like me my immediate reaction is “ew! lol anyway”
I’m aware enough to know I’m emotionally unavailable, I never been in a real relationship before because I know I never could give anyone the time, I’m 24 now, never dated, virgin and I’m hoping to climb out of it if it’s possible. Wish me luck 👍
What if you share and all you get is people being turned off or ending things with you altogether for even mentioning anything at all? Like being annoyed with something , don't even mean an argument. It's made me really unavailable
Thank you so much for this ! Listening to this gave me an understanding on the process of healing! I know it’s going to take some time but it’s worth it.
My experience is that many seemingly ‘open friendly people’ are often predators.. the love-bombers. Many people who ‘share alot’ are also narcissists..
It is wise to check that you absolutely know what kind of person, the other person is. Never assume not opening up is a negative thing. I think people just need to be very very careful in deciding who they to open up. Ask why do you think this person is safe? How have they shown you that they are safe?
Thank you for this video, it’s helping a lot. I was wondering how we can get to the point to sense what we are actually allowed to share. 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.
That’s a great question. You’re allowed to share anything you want! If you were my client, I’d focus on helping you reconnect to your emotions so you can practice sharing how you feel. Your emotions and thoughts are always worth sharing. 💗
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've had nearly the exact same experience as you with being emotionally unavailable. This video was really helpful to me and I appreciate you sharing your story 😊🙏💯
I am empathetic however I behave with people as they behave with me… so my partner was emotionally unavailable.. I couldn’t recognise that.. however when we got into serious relationship, he used to argue over small things and wanted to convince their point and if I got hurt then he was confused like why I am hurt and he himself later gave me hot and cold treatment
My patents passwd away when i was 12. Now im 41. I think i have struggled with separation/abandonment issues. I have falsly accused my ex in the past. Always kinda live in fear. So now im happy being single until i learn to be happy and love myself. I dont need a bad attachment style. I too was emotionally unavailble. I put these walls up. I hid myself. But my relationship failed.
@@thereallovealchemist I am also able to label what I feel and my emotions, yet metacognition kicks in and it usually ends in a cold hell of recursion. My heart is encased in an icy fortress in an icy desert where a howling blizzard occurs. Now it has become a ruin. It has to be rebuilt, not become an archaeological site.
I have met an amazing man and i care so much for him. But it's been like 2 months that we've been getting to know each other and i can't seem to open myself up. It's difficult to express my feelings and be vulnerable. And i love him so much but i seem to be having trouble showing him that. This is ruining thinga for us. We're becoming more distant due to the fact I'm holding back and not showing my true self to him
Damn this sucks. Just now realizing after the loss of my ex that I am emotionally unavailable. Of course I justified running from the relationship and committing to moving in by saying there were too many red flags. And some of the flags were there, but I was ready to run at the drop of a dime. Logical justification of my fear of intimacy showed up by blaming her red flags instead of working together to grow. Now I realize I was honestly just hiding emotions and that’s why I was not willing to grow together. Guess I will be single until I can be honest and own my emotions.
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!
You can share how you feel while also knowing that you are 100% responsible for how you feel. It’s up to you to take care of yourself and do what you need to do to heal.
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.
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.
I do share, I am vulnerable but I make up for the lack from my partner by becoming the gushingly emotional one. My partner becomes flooded and I look like a nut. What is this? I feel like I’m trying to heal the other person.
I’m exhausted of toxic and unavailable men but I’m not getting attracted (or even getting disgusted) by available man. Can’t even imagine them kissing me 🥹
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.
I want to be emotionally available to this person I like, and they like me too but I'm trying to overcome what I think is emotional unavailable to anyone besides my best friend?
Please protect yourself . You can endup with an anxious attachement if you are not already . If people are not aware of their traumas and chose ro be in denial they won't chose the healing path and the only person that is going to suffer is YOU . My only advice is to leave the relationship if she sees this as negative .
If we're emotionally available, life goes by fast if it goes good, keeps going slow if hellish whether with someone or not. There's pros and cons to both sides, just be yourself/ your best possible self. All im trying to say
So... What happens when I'm already able to dump all my trauma on my friends(and even some strangers), but I don't feel anything even remotely like intimacy? I just feel like I'm annoying them😓 (Spoilers, autism)
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??

That’s what I’m all about here. We’re the only people we can change. 🙂

The only emotions that i can recognize are sorrow and anger. I normally don't feel comfortable around people.
That’s a good start.
Yeah, i can say now that I've been emotionally unavailable
You’re in good company.
It's kinda comforting how you kinda talk like Pam from The Office
Great content btw!

My patents passwd away when i was 12. Now im 41. I think i have struggled with separation/abandonment issues. I have falsly accused my ex in the past. Always kinda live in fear. So now im happy being single until i learn to be happy and love myself. I dont need a bad attachment style.
I too was emotionally unavailble. I put these walls up. I hid myself. But my relationship failed.
I’m sorry about your parents. All the best on your healing journey 💙
I am hypercognitive and when I open up, I unintentionally become cryptic and abstract.
That’s a common way emotional unavailability can show up.
@@thereallovealchemist I am also able to label what I feel and my emotions, yet metacognition kicks in and it usually ends in a cold hell of recursion.
My heart is encased in an icy fortress in an icy desert where a howling blizzard occurs.
Now it has become a ruin. It has to be rebuilt, not become an archaeological site.
Thank you soo much for this

@@thereallovealchemist appreciate yah
this was very powerful thank u.
You’re welcome!
I Can totally relate fully.
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!
Thank you
You’re welcome!

How do you open up and become more vulnerable without taking on a codependent mindset?
You can share how you feel while also knowing that you are 100% responsible for how you feel. It’s up to you to take care of yourself and do what you need to do to heal.
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...

Should I hugg people more, even I feel uncomfortable doing it?
Do you want to hug more people?
What if both partners are emotionally unavailable? Especially when one partner is specifically unavailable with certain subjects?
That’s usually how these relationships are. Did you have a specific question?
But whats the difference between emotional unavailability vs wanting to pace it/take it slow?
Great question, I may make a video on it. It would look like sharing gradually about yourself as the person proves to be trustworthy and empathetic.
Brilliant. That makes sense Cause moving at a crazy pace and trusting too soon always crashes and burns me 😢
I want to be emotionally available to this person I like, and they like me too but I'm trying to overcome what I think is emotional unavailable to anyone besides my best friend?
I’d be happy to help. Please send me an email at Lindsay@thereallovealchemist.com to schedule a session.
I'm emotionally unavailable
I notice i withhold love cause i dont believe theres someone to receive it
That’s a common experience
my girlfriend is emotionally unavailable and idk if i should send her this video. i fear she would see it in an negative way
You can start the conversation by being vulnerable yourself and sharing your feelings about the relationship.
@@thereallovealchemist THANK YOU
Please protect yourself . You can endup with an anxious attachement if you are not already .
If people are not aware of their traumas and chose ro be in denial they won't chose the healing path and the only person that is going to suffer is YOU .
My only advice is to leave the relationship if she sees this as negative .
Fml you just described me
Do you also coach guys?
Yes.
If we're emotionally available, life goes by fast if it goes good, keeps going slow if hellish whether with someone or not. There's pros and cons to both sides, just be yourself/ your best possible self. All im trying to say
If you are emotionally available would interacting with an emotionally unavailable person feel uncomfortable?
I wouldn’t say it’s uncomfortable, but you wouldn’t enjoy it very much. You wouldn’t be drawn to it.
So...
What happens when I'm already able to dump all my trauma on my friends(and even some strangers), but I don't feel anything even remotely like intimacy?
I just feel like I'm annoying them😓
