- Avoidance: The child may actively avoid seeking comfort or affection from their parents or caregivers, even when distressed.
- Emotional Withdrawal: They may appear distant, aloof, or unresponsive to others’ emotional attempts to connect with them.
- Limited Expression: Difficulty expressing emotions or displaying limited emotional range.
- Trust Issues: Struggles to trust others, even those close to them.
- Social Isolation: Tends to isolate themselves from peers and avoid social interactions.
- Over-Independence: May act overly self-reliant and resist help from others.
- Excessive Shyness: Persistent shyness and reluctance to engage with new people or situations.
