WANT
I don't want to hurt your feelings.
Sometimes "I don't know what I want" is "I don't want to hurt your feelings" said nicely.
I just want to slow down and go with the flow.
Maybe you feel that it's time to finally decide the direction of the bond. Are you going to be together committed, or are you going to let things go? But the person doesn't feel ready to make any.
I'm too damaged.
If the person you've been dating for a while uses "I am too damaged," this is a big ass red flag of emotional unavailability.
In almost all cases, when you hear, "I don't know what I want, I'm too damaged" give the person space. Sometimes this means ending the relationship and letting the person figure out what they do want without hurting you in the process.
