Unapproachable 冷淡难接近
An unapproachable person seems hard to reach: a brief nod, closed body language, and short answers make contact feel distant.
Unapproachable signals include a tight face, eyes turned away, and quick moves that leave little space for a first word.
In simple talk, an unapproachable style uses few words, a flat tone, and a narrow topic, so the chat stays short.
Unapproachable behaviour may come from low energy, deep focus, or a need for quiet, not from dislike.
People who feel unapproachable set firm limits—“not now,” “please wait,” or “keep it brief”—to protect time and attention.
Unapproachable does not mean rude; it shows a closed door for now, with clear reasons and minimal contact.
一个让人难以靠近的人，会让人感到距离感：简单点头、封闭的肢体语言、简短的回答都使交流变得疏离。
典型的“难接近”信号包括表情紧绷、视线回避，以及迅速的动作，让对方几乎没有开口的时间。
在简单对话中，难接近的说话方式用词不多、语调平平、话题范围很窄，因此谈话很快结束。
这种表现可能来自精力不足、注意力高度集中，或需要安静，并不代表不喜欢他人。
给人冷淡印象的人通常会设定明确界限——如“现在不方便”“请稍等”“尽量简短”——以保护时间和注意力。
“难接近”并不等于无礼；它更多表示此刻不开放，并给出清楚的理由和最低限度的回应。
