Understanding Emotional Availability in Relationships

Attracting emotionally unavailable partners often stems from one's own emotional state. Individuals may find themselves drawn to avoidant individuals because it allows them to protect themselves from vulnerability and intimacy. This dynamic serves as a defense mechanism, enabling them to evade facing their own emotional unavailability.
