“Intimacy anorexia” is a nonclinical term sometimes used to describe a recurring pattern of withholding emotional, physical, sexual, or relational closeness from a partner. It is not a formal mental health diagnosis. The pattern may involve avoidance, criticism, secrecy, overwork, or discomfort with vulnerability. A qualified therapist can help explore the pattern and its possible roots without assigning blame or labels.
