Emotional unavailability can also happen temporarily. Many people living with mental health conditions, like depression, may have a hard time sustaining an emotional connection with their loved ones during a flare-up.
An emotionally unavailable person has a hard time receiving love and other emotions from others. If you know someone who has been confusing you with his/her behaviour, chances are he/she is an emotionally unavailable person.
They rarely (if ever) return your calls or answer your texts.
What does being emotionally unavailable really mean?
Being Emotionally Unavailable is a coping mechanism, of pushing people away and keeping them from knowing their true self, who they really are, what they believe and think, how they really feel. These type of people tend to act extremely independent and think they can take care of themselves. They don’t want to have to rely on anyone.

Another reason you might be attracting emotionally unavailable partners is you may not be open with your own emotions. If you struggle with self-esteem, shyness, or feelings of inadequacy (like you’re not good enough), you may find it difficult to be authentic and vulnerable in intimate relationships.
