There are a number of guys who find it difficult to express their emotions to their girlfriend.

They haven’t been shown or encouraged to do it as a person growing up.

When he is sober, it is difficult for him to show you that he cares or give you emotion because he doesn’t feel confident doing it in this state.

There are also a number of guys who do look at emotion and telling their girlfriend that they care as a sign of weakness.

They believe that doing this sort of thing isn’t masculine in nature.

As a man he should be stoic and unemotional.

This is what he is thinking.

So, he has his guard up.

He wants to maintain this facade out of fear of seeming weak if he were to start showing emotion or expressing how much he cares.

However, when he is tipsy, his guard drops.

A lot of this has to do with what alcohol does to the brain.

Upon consumption, alcohol depresses or lowers the behavioral inhibitory centers of the cerebral cortex.

The cerebral cortex is the part of the brain that processes thoughts and consciousness.

When this part of the brain has been influenced by alcohol, it makes a person less inhibited.

When he is less inhibited, he is acts in a way and says things that he normally wouldn’t when he is sober.

He struggles to keep his guard up and gives in to his emotions.

This is why you have noticed that he tends to show his emotions and how much he cares when he is tipsy.

He can no longer consciously keep that guard up when his brain has been influenced by the depressive effects of alcohol.

In your situation, it’s feasible that your boyfriend cares about you, but doesn’t want to express it for fear of the repercussions.

He isn’t mentally equipped to show his emotions based on the fact that he has never been shown how to, or is fearful that doing so would make him appear weak.

to get your boyfriend to stop being so afraid to show emotion and tell you how much he cares, don’t be too effusive with your own love.

You probably shower him with too much love and compliments.

Even though, you think this is merely you being a good girlfriend and showing him how much you care about him, it works against you.

It pushes away guys like this, making them more closed off and unwilling to express or show their own emotions.

They feel like they are incapable of doing it the way you do, so they don’t bother.

When you reduce the amount of affection you verbally give him, or physically show him, you give him the opportunity to start coming to you for that affection.

If he always knows that you will be there to show him affection and emotion whenever he is around, he never feels the need to take initiative with affection.

Give him the opportunity to take that initiative.

When he notices that you aren’t all over him the way he is used to, you compel him to make moves to show you more affection and emotion, feeling the weight of missing out.

You bring him to you.

If he cares about you, he comes to you.

This is when you have gotten him to lower his guard, and he is showing emotion and how much he cares about you.
