You work hard to understand other people’s feelings, but you find it difficult to empathize with them. You see the emotional world as a foreign place, full of dangers that you don’t understand. If you were able to accept and understand your own emotions, it would be easier to understand the emotions of others. You have a strong desire for emotional independence, and might find it difficult to see other people’s emotional needs. You might also be the first to deny that someone’s emotional needs are real. As a result, your dependency on others is unconscious. It’s seen as a threat, so it’s repressed. Actually, you are always making half-conscious forays into the emotional world because your loneliness and fear are so overwhelming.
