- my question is,just how much importance do you all put on emotions?
- i personally am cold,with very little desire to experience tenderness or
- intimacy and certainly no desire to have children,with all the emotions that
- are associated(watching parents with children makes me feel ill!)
-
- Why? Why do feel that you are cold?
-
- Personally, I put a lot of importance on emotions. How can I be in a
- relationship with someone who doesn't feel? In my experience, the one
- vital component in any friendship (let alone romantic relationship) is
- compassion -- the ability to feel along with someone else, or to
- empathise.
-
- is anyone else out there like me?especially females,i would be
- interested to know.(i am a male).has anyone ever had a relationship
- with a emotionally cold person,and enjoyed the experience?and has
- anyone out there who is like me,had a relationship with a warm person
- and liked it? i'd like to know,its hard to find out from people in
- regular life,they seem to think i come from another planet.
-
- See above...
-
- A question: What do YOU want in a relationship, Sutekh? That is, what
- do you want the _relationship_ to be like -- as opposed to what you
- want the person with whom you are in relationship with to be like.
-
- For instance, I want a loving, trusting, honest, joyfull and
- passionate relationship.
-
- please send me some replys,i'd like to get past all the media imagary
- of what people are like(all the kissing and stuff) and see how many
- people are really different than all that,without being axe murderers
- or something.
-
- Why close down physical intimacy as a possibility in your life? What
- beliefs do you have which tell you that physical intimacy is not right
- for you?
-
- It sounds to me like you have shut off a very large part of what it
- means to be human, by physically separating yourself. Why not be
- intimate? It _is_ a powerful way of showing a feeling of connection
- with your fellow human beings, especially that special one human
- being...
