Hi Johnny, it's AJ. I sent you an email earlier in humility & honesty & I hope you'll receive it. But I wanted to add, ask if there is anything that I can do to keep your presence in my life. I know that you said you want me to drop negativity. Doing. Done. I didnt handle myself well at all. But I am working to change that. I changed my url too (as you can see), deleted FB, Twitter, everything else. I miss your energy & I would like my friend back as I work on me. Can we start over as friends?
1. This is an inability to connect with others in a deep and meaningful way.
2. Thus, although the person may be physically present, they are not emotionally present in the relationship.
3. In fact, sometimes the person will dissociate, or experience emotional numbing.
4. Emotional detachment makes it hard for the individual to empathize with others, to share their own feelings (which they may be unaware of), or to appear emotionally engaged in a conversation or relationship.
5. Often the person will intellectually analyze situations, but they will not be able to identify, understand or share any feelings.
6. Often, emotional detachment is related to a psychological trauma in the person’s past – something that occurred in a relationship with someone important to them. As a result of this trauma, the person (usually unconsciously) has chose to protect themselves from future pain by refusing to allow anything similar to happen again. Hence, they can’t relate on an emotional level.
