People who were raised by emotionally unavailable parents often exhibit traits that may make them seem distant or cold to others. These traits include extreme self-reliance, difficulty expressing emotions, and a high level of resilience. They tend to create strong boundaries and crave emotional intimacy, despite appearing aloof. However, they also develop empathy and a great sense of humor as coping mechanisms. Despite the challenges, understanding and support can help them navigate their emotional journey toward healing and fulfillment.
