Fear of intimacy.

Deliberate withholding of personal information is probably fear of intimacy.
Withdrawing when others talk about their thoughts and feelings.
Protecting yourself often reveals fear of intimacy.
Critical of yourself or others is fear of intimacy.
Feelings of anger or discomfort when others voice their thoughts and opinions show a fear of intimacy.
Not caring about knowing others deep feelings and emotions is an indication of wanting to avoid intimacy.
Feeling threatened whenever you think that someone is going to ask you about private matters is another sign of fear of intimacy
Often show less affection towards their loved ones and pretend to be 'over-practical' in life.
Obsessing over the imperfections allows you to avoid really being "in" the relationship.

This is a case of "it is better not to have loved at all than to have lost… Both partners may never come to see this "relationship dance" or one or both may and make change.
