Is emotional Unavailability a Mistake?

I've always grown up being told to keep my heart guarded. I'm not sure when it morphed into an iron wall. Is this something that'll make up upcoming years less bearable?
How does one go about becoming more relatable?

Practice mediation. Quieting the mind brings up things that need to be healed.

@curiosi so this is definitely something I can do on my own? Or is therapy advisable?

@Saule19 I have found doing it on my own was best. I started mediating and things came up. No one understood me so I gave up talking to others about it. Funny thing is that the more I meditated the more things just fell into my lap. I would find articles about things I needed to hear.
