when they open up their hearts to each other and they open up their inner worlds to each other, if you're always hiding behind the mask of stoicism, then it's just a wall. It's just another self-protective measure. And it's like, it's emotional unavailability. It has its place in life. It has its place in pockets in a relationship. But that's not how people build trust with each other.

They build trust when you are able to open up about something that's important to you and then it's received. It's received with care, it's received with interest, it's received with love. That's how you build trust with another person.

So let me backtrack a little bit. We're training our partners all the time, all the time. Every time your partner opens up to you about something or just wants to share about their day and you're just like, you know, reading something and barely looking up, you're training your partner to not do that anymore. You're training your partner to now start to withhold their experience.

So I think that if you're sharing something and someone is not able to receive it, again, that feeds into the conversation. You could say something like, I feel it seems like, or it appears that this is difficult for you to hear right now. Is that true? And yes. Part of being a mature, high-functioning adult in a relationship is being able to have that kind of conversation.

And you might say, you know what? Yeah, I think that was really hard for me to receive. Maybe I just need a moment or maybe I need to ask you some questions. When you're getting to know someone, like in the beginning, you're sort of testing the waters. And maybe opening up a little bit to see how they receive you opening up. And then maybe you see that they don't receive it that well.

And then you might be in the, you might be, it's not a guarantee, but you might be in the presence of someone who's A, not actually that interested in you as you would hope them to be. Or B, they're not what is so commonly and popularly referred to as emotionally unavailable. Now, that doesn't mean that everyone is going to be as emotive.

There's lots of men of a certain generation who are just not as emotive as women are. I think that men have to learn how to become more emotive. But what's more important is that they become very good listeners. And, you know, I think we all have to... We all have to figure out what we can and cannot tolerate in a relationship. But it's called a heart-to-heart for a reason.
