I know it's two words, but "emotionally constipated" is a brilliant way to describe it :D

Emotionally constipated is a very creative description, but it’s not particularly clear. What exactly do you intend it to mean? Are you talking about someone who bottles up their feelings? Or someone who’s not in touch with their feelings and doesn’t know how to process/express them? Or someone who’s just generally cold or emotionally stunted and doesn’t feel much? Or someone who is good at maintaining a stiff upper lip? There are so many different ways of not wearing your heart upon your sleeve that we’ll need a more precise description to be able to give you a good answer.

As @JanusBahsJacquet suggests, you should also add more context. I'm flagging the question as "too broad", but if you edit your answer to provide the necessary elements, you can prevent closure.
