What does emotionally unavailable mean exactly? It's a term bandied about ... but what does it mean in reality? How might it manifest?

For example a mother who is not emotionally available...  doesn't have to be a mother, could be partner, father, brother or friend... how might such a person behave?

    You are right ... I am sure.. and you seem to really KNOW what it means... I suspect it's a term that was originally coined in America.. so to you it makes sense.. but I don't really know what it means.. I've an idea... but nothing specific... like I have no idea what that would look like.. how it manifests..

    Someone who is not interested in sharing or even caring about your or their emotions.

    Generally means just looking for a booty call.
