Can you be too emotionally distant and closed off? 8 upvotes | June 14, 2013 | by BellatorCordis ------------------------- By far, the most common complaint I receive from the opposite sex (whether they're friends, lovers, or family) is that I am too emotionally guarded/closed off/distant. I know enough not to take this complaint at face value, but I imagine that there must be _something_ I can learn from this, especially considering it is petty universally levied against me by all of the close females in my life. I don't necessarily buy it either; I am open, concise, and direct in expressing my wants and desires, and answer serious questions honestly and without anxiety. The closest thing I can think of is that I don't offer up personal opinions or drone on in monologue about the intricate details of what I think about x or y hardly at all. After all, aren't such vanities needy and validation seeking? Won't droning on kill attraction? Looking for advice from the only people who know what the fuck they're talking about anymore on how to improve from this phenomena. ------------------------- Archived from https://theredarchive.com/post/4879
