/Sounds like "ehm" (as in "egg") + "pah" (as in "park") + "KAH" (as in "car") + "doh" (as in "door")/
Emotionally closed off or bottled up, not sharing what you think or feel. In Venezuela, someone who is empacado seems permanently packed and ready to disappear without saying a word, walls up, nothing getting in or out.
“That guy is always closed off, he never says what he feels.”
“I do not know what is going on with him, he has been completely shut down for days.”
/Sounds like "ehm" (as in "egg") + "pah" (as in "park") + "KAH" (as in "car") + "doh" (as in "door")/
Packed and ready to go with everything gathered. In Venezuela it also describes someone emotionally closed off, the person who keeps everything locked inside and never shares what they're really going through.
“I'm already packed, just waiting for the cab.”
“That guy is always closed off, never says what he feels.”

Estar de mala uva
In Spain, to be in a foul mood with a sour attitude that makes everyone want to keep their distance. The "mala uva" (bad grape) works as a metaphor for concentrated bitterness, like an unripe fruit. When someone is de mala uva, the best strategy is to give them space and come back later.
