8 Signs Your Girlfriend has Emotional Baggage

5. She does not let you into her past

If your girlfriend is extremely secretive about her past, then it could mean that she has a lot of emotional baggage. Such women do not let others into their past and any discussion or inquiry about their previous relationships would yield no results. They either try to avoid the question, or start avoiding you.

6. She seems scared of making a commitment

Women who carry emotional baggage are usually commitment-phobic. This is usually because they have had such bad relationship experiences in the past that they feel scared to associate themselves with another man. If you feel that the woman you wish to date or are dating has not let you in completely, is holding back, or is constantly building walls around her, then it could mean that she has emotional baggage.

7. She has trust issues

If your girlfriend is carrying emotional baggage, then it would not be easy for her to trust you completely. You may find her being over-possessive or highly insecure. In extreme cases, she may keep on checking your phone or your e-mails to ensure that you are not cheating on her. Such behavior is often indicative of the fact that she has had boyfriends in the past who were not loyal to the relationship.

8. She has no social past

Women who have a lot of emotional baggage usually end up having no long-term friends and a hard-to-trace social past. This shows that in order to forget the trauma that she suffered in her previous relationships, she has had to cut old ties, make new friends, and change her social circle. Such a social pattern in an indication that your girlfriend is trying to forget something bad that happened in her past.
