The title says “some” but let’s be real — most men are (or seem to be) emotionally unavailable. The fact is there and the reasons are numerous. While this article here won’t provide you with the 10 tips to fix your man, I will say that clear communication is the key if you’re even going to bother with trying. So, here are 8 reasons your man (or a man) might be emotionally unavailable.
1. They Have The Emotional Range of a Teaspoon
Although the concept of emotional intelligence is widely criticized in the scientific community, it’s difficult to deny that it is at least partially true. Emotional intelligence is a person’s capability to recognize their own emotions and those of others, liable feelings appropriately, and use this information to guide their behavior. Many men never invest the time into analyzing their emotions, and therefore can’t process them properly. At best, they will seam closed off and emotionally unavailable. At worst, they’ll have anger tantrums and behave like petulant children.
2. Toxic Masculinity
We can only wish for men to take Terry Crews as an example of what it means to be a confident man. Instead, boys are raised to believe that showing any sign of having a complex range of emotions as a sign of weakness. They have the entire range of positive emotions, but when it comes to negative emotions they have anger or complete despair. There is no in-between. And whereas emotional intelligence is a person’s capacity to understand their emotions, the problem of toxic masculinity makes it difficult for them to express them, even if they understand them.
3. Childhood Trauma
TB perfectly H, men aren’t the only people who can have problems with emotional unavailability. This problem is not limited to dudes. Childhood trauma can cause children to grow up with trust issues, making it more difficult for them to open up to other people later in life.
