When you are in love with someone who is not willing to share your feelings, you may feel lost, rejected, and gradually lose yourself. According to clinical psychologist Priyanka Kapoor, working at BLK Super Speciality Hospital (India): Emotional intimacy is the core of a healthy relationship. It creates trust, attachment and a sense of understanding.
Learn the underlying cause
The other person may be suffering from unhealing damage, afraid of injury, or not being taught how to share feelings. Let's dialogue together to understand what's causing the gap and clearly state what you need in a relationship.
Solving old conflicts
Unresolved issues in the past, whether hurtful words or unresolved conflicts, can make one take a break. Looking straight at old conflicts is the first step to helping two understand each other and heal their emotions.
Understand each other's emotional needs
Not everyone expresses their feelings the same way. Some people like to share, others show it through actions. Proactively learn about what makes the other person feel loved, and show them that you are truly interested in their inner world.
Effective communication
Avoid screaming, blaming or prolonged silence. Instead, use gentle and clear words to express your feelings. Operating politely and honestly can prevent conflict and open up with each other, Kapoor emphasized.
Patience and empathy
Change does not come overnight. If he's trying, give him time. Meanwhile, you also need to keep the boundary clear so as not to get hurt. empathy does not mean sacrificing yourself.
Thank you to experts if needed
If efforts still do not improve the relationship, individual psychotherapy or couples may be the solution. An expert will help identify the cause and guide how to rebuild the connection.
Love does not only need emotions, but needs actions to nurture. If you are in love with someone who is difficult to share, remember that emotional closeness cannot be forced, but can be constructive, if both are committed and sincere.
