They just don’t see these things as a big deal. They can easily brush off not turning up to something or not taking care of something they said they’d take care of. They may make empty promises in the knowledge that they will break them because they don’t fear or even feel the consequences of doing so. They are unreliable.Ī cold person’s word doesn’t mean a lot because they cannot be relied upon to keep it. If they do apologize, there’s a good chance they are looking to gain something from it rather than because they are sincerely sorry for what they’ve done. Speaking of hurting feelings, a cold-hearted person isn’t all that likely to say sorry or try to make it up to someone they’ve upset.īecause they wouldn’t get offended by whatever it they did, they don’t see why they should apologize for it. In their minds, they were just having a laugh or telling a truth, only their choice of words or their delivery was such that it hurt the recipient. So when they say or do something that upsets someone, they can’t quite understand what they see as an overreaction. They see others as oversensitive.Īnother consequence of their dislike of feelings and emotions is that they think everyone else is too sensitive. They don’t feel comfortable with affection in any of its forms, but physical displays are particularly difficult because they see them as unnecessary intimacy. Hugs are like Kryptonite to them and they clam up or back away whenever someone tries to go in for one. They hate displays of physical affection.īecause they are aloof and not that interested in things of the heart, a cold person tends to detest any shows of physical affection – especially in public. Their inability to trust or be trusted makes it hard for them to commit. They’re not really bothered about forging emotional connections with anyone and are too self-involved and selfish to be in a good, healthy relationship.Īs such, most cold-hearted people remain single for a long time, or have a string of very short, meaningless ‘relationships.’ They may go out of their way to humiliate or hurt you, simply because they can and they don’t care about the consequences. People who are emotionally cold lack empathy, and they don’t always see actions in the same light as those who have healthy levels of empathy.Īs such, they can betray those around them, either intentionally or otherwise. They will talk over others, insist things are done a certain way, and make choices for a whole group even if the majority want something different. This manifests as controlling behavior because not only do they think they know best, they care so little about how other people feel that they aren’t afraid to boss them about. They are controlling.Ī side-effect of being so self-reliant and stubborn is that cold people like to have things their own way. In cold-hearted people, however, it’s linked to the fact that they think they are just so much better than everyone else – at everything. Because they see those around them as inferior, they only rely on themselves to get things done.īeing self-reliant can be brilliant in a lot of ways, and normally shows a healthy level of self-confidence and capability.
