A availability from Are You Emotionally Available?
Genuinely Present
Emotional availability comes relatively naturally to you. You move toward depth instead of away from it, and you make people feel genuinely met when they're with you. This doesn't mean you don't have limits, it means you've developed a real capacity to stay in the feeling with someone.
What to watch for
Your availability can become a place others take refuge while they work on their own openness. Make sure the intimacy in your relationships is moving in both directions. Being present for everyone is only sustainable if someone is present for you too.
What this gives you
People feel safe around you in a way that's hard to manufacture. You create the conditions for real connection almost without trying. The relationships in your life are probably deeper than average because you don't flinch when things get real.
