Identifying the types of relationships you are drawn to and the behaviors you exhibit and tolerate can indicate if you are in an emotionally unavailable relationship, are drawn to emotionally unavailable partners, or, believe it or not, emotionally unavailable yourself.

Through these exercises, you will discover your beliefs about love,

relationships, and self. While the insights gained may not encompass every aspect of your life, they hold true when engaging in emotionally unavailable relationships.

The first step in moving away from these patterns of emotional

unavailability is recognizing your own unavailability.

 Here are some common signs that might indicate a toxic relationship:

• Lack of Support: You feel neglected or belittled.
• Constant Stress: You often feel worried or stressed about your relationship.
• Disrespect and Dismissiveness: You feel unimportant or undervalued. 
• Dishonesty: There is a lack of honesty in the relationship, with frequent lying, hiding things, or deceitful behavior.
• Blame and Guilt: You are often made to feel guilty for expressing your needs and desires.
• Negative Communication: Most conversations are filled with sarcasm, criticism, or hostility.
• Unresolved Conflicts: Disagreements and conflicts remain unresolved.
• Low Self-Esteem: A persistent feeling of inadequacy, leaving you constantly doubting your worth and abilities.

If you recognize yourself in the statements above, there is a high probability that you are drawn to emotionally unavailable partners or are in a toxic relationship.
