Coming from a non western person. Emotional availability is being able to be present and work through conflict. Anything else has serious consequences, sweeping things under the rug will ALWAYS result in resentment.

Yes but maybe those cultures don’t have the language yet to identify something it’s lacking 🤷♀️

That's called transactional love and not considered true love. The problem with transactional love is it can and will end at any moment when someone offers more. It's about things offered and things given. Never about the person. True Love is about showing up for the person, no matter the situation or circumstances.

Emotional availability isn’t them opening up to you about stuff they don’t want to talk about, it’s how they respond to YOU. If they dismiss or ignore you when YOU share that is emotional unavailability. No one said it’s talking in a specific way

OK. But not all cultures are the same. Christian cultures get better results in every single aspect for a reason. They recognize the internal. Divinity of the individual

Tru Name :
Emotional availability" is often viewed through a Western lens that overemphasizes verbalizing feelings. In many non-Western cultures, availability is expressed through action such as consistency, protection, and provision rather than just words. To be culture-neutral, emotional availability should be defined as the capacity to maintain a secure bond through words, actions, or responsibility, ensuring the relationship is never neglected or abandoned.

RaeLunaLuck :
I think you’re confusing some of this personally. Someone being emotionally unavailable is not the same as somebody being more reserved or quiet or introverted- or even needing space. Emotional availability also doesn’t indicate or dictate how somebody will express love outwardly in their actions. It can be very different. It is impossible to have a healthy relationship with anybody who cannot open up at least a little bit and communicate from that place. That is not about the nervous system and if the nervous system is preventing even a small reasonable margin of this, then that is a time to look at an overactive nervous system. Regardless of culture if the nervous system is freaking out over anything it should be looked at. The nervous system being in a state of anxiety or homeostasis is always subjective to the individual.

It’s our job to regulate ourselves not our partners job .

Not all cultures are equally correct when it comes to certain issues. I come from eastern European culture where people complain a lot, but genuine and honest opening up is pretty unheard of. And I can tell you that this isn't healthy. I see older people in my country struggling so much because they have an entire liftime of feelings they never managed to work through. Is it really so controversial to say that maybe sometimes western culture is correct about some stuff?

Well, that’s a great point, but we need to integrate the two not equivocate them

The disconnect happens when you are from western culture but your parents or partners aren’t.

"stable" is not necessarily "happy". And we want happy, not lasting.

Agree. Emotionally availability is good to some extent but not at the expense of someone’s peace and stability.

I would rather have love be based on actions and behaviors, not words or emotions.

This is great video, sometimes when people accuse people of emotional unavailability it just means “I can’t manipulate them”

Advice with Mizan :
Thank you! The entire counselling and therapy sector is a Western construct. Therapists need to take into account different cultures and what is normal for them

I mean, is this rocket science? All people that live outside of the west have zero time for sensitivity and just wanna get things and done and keep it moving.

Yes. My mother never said she loved me. But I know it. With every fibre of my being. That woman sacrificed it all for my siblings and I.

Adrienne :
I understand. However, I feel there needs to be a balance of both. Picking our battles is important. However, communication to work through things and finding coping mechanisms is just as important. I don’t want to excuse poor behavior and neither should my partner.

as someone with mixed heritage, its still not emotionally healthy to lower ourselves to accommodate lack of emotional availability. emotional availability is a human need and not limited to the culture you are from. please lets not promote this
