3. Acting distant or withdrawn		Distant
As the pattern of sexual activity escalates, sex addicts will seem more distant and withdrawn because they are preoccupied with their sexual activity, guilt, shame, and the fear of getting caught. They will be unavailable mentally and often physically to everyone around them. They may seem distant or cold, or they may even become angry if they are badgered about what they are thinking. Ask them what the trouble is and they will deny any problems. More and more their work, activity, interests, and relationships will suffer from lack of attention.
