“There might not be any depth to the relationship,” says Hussain. To the person looking to fill a void, she explains, “You’ve chosen [the relationship] because it seems ‘fine’ or it’s right for you at the moment.” But she says that those who aren’t comfortable being vulnerable with themselves – the issue that creates a void in the first place – typically won’t be comfortable being vulnerable with a partner, either. “It can be hard to build a connection if you can’t be vulnerable. It will be more surface level because you aren’t willing to be open.”
