What does it mean if someone is emotionally arrested?
this person has locked up his/her feelings and cant express them...and needs to be released though...
Why don't some people express/display their emotions? Why is it difficult for them, is it linked to childhood or a previous relationship?
A person may be less inclined to express themselves for various reasons including but not limited to -Being more introverted than extroverted. Introverts are more comfortable within their own minds than interacting with others.Being more logical and than emotional. Logical thinker types are usually less expressive though not necessarily quiet.Being more observant than judgmental. Some people choose to observe rather than make judgments and are therefore less expressive about what they see.There are other reasons like -Upbringing: They may have been brought up to be quiet and to keep their heads low. To not attract attention to oneself and to follow the law and to listen to authority.Genes: I believe certain genes play a role in personality types which leads to differences in expressiveness.Depression: Being depressed can make you feel alienated and like no one cares. Leads to a sort of dark, sullen quiet isolation from others.Social anxiety: Social interaction can cause anxiety in some people. People with various forms of autism or other disorders can experience this.Having been in a bad relationship. This can lead to depression and therefore a lack of positive expression.Trauma: Again, this can lead to depression.Lack of social interaction in childhood. This can lead to poor people skills and thus less expressive behavior.There’s probably other reasons, but those are some of the ones that I can think of.
What do you call someone who can't express emotion?
There’s a mental condition called Alexithymia in which the affected person actually doesn’t understand his or her emotions. Additionally, this person does not understand other people’s reactions.It could also be a temporary state of apathy due to just about any number of things. I had a recent bout of apathy due to chemicals I’ve been working with like Xylene, Butane, Pentane, Hexane, Octane, DIDP, DINP and DEHP. Another reason for apathy is attempting to avoid feeling guilty while doing things that make you feel guilty. This causes your brain to reject the feeling of guilt, and consequently, other feelings as well.
Do guys use physical means as their emotional outlet (ie- sex, kissing, etc)?
First of all guys aren't emotional creatures---as much as women. They may get some kind of emotional release with the physical, but guys just want to get physical period---emotion has nothing to do with it! Don't ever be fooled into thinking because a guy wants to kiss you or have sex with you it means they "love" you. They know woman are usually that way and fall for it. So, to answer your question, NO you cannot necessarily tell if a guy is into you by how you are touched or kissed. Some may like you, but some.... just wanna get laid!!!

Moon in scorpio- why have people said we're emotionally unstable in relationships?
Scorpio is an emotionally unstable sign if you ask me! Basically, Scorpio is not one to let out any anger, frustration or annoyances that happen. What Scorpio always does is let it build up and eventually WHAAMM! Scorpio unleashes this incredible wave of sheer hate towards you like like there's no tomorrow. This is unhealthy in a relationship because it makes both people unhappy. The Scorpio is unhappy because they are letting things build up and their other half will be more then unhappy when Scorpio unleashes their full wrath
Why do some people feel it is important to verbally express the phrase "I love you"?
Because…Let’s say the adult in your life cooks and cleans, sets food on the table, picks up your empty plate, washes the dishes and then sends you to bed.Some could say that all of these acts are done out of Love: This can be True.Others might just say all of these acts are only done out of Duty: This can, also, be True.But how can you know which is which? Human Emotion can be a doubtful thing: We always seek confirmation.Let’s try another example…Your Brother or Sister is direly ill and cannot care for themselves. You cook and clean for them. You check in on them to make sure they are managing well and not wanting for necessities. You monitor their health and ask if they are feeling well.Again, some could say that all of these acts are done out of Love: This can be True.And Again, Others might just say all of these acts are only done out of Duty: This can, also, be True.But again, how can you know which is which? Human Emotion can be a doubtful thing: We always seek confirmation.Because … it does not matter whether you believe if it was a God, or if it was Nature that did it: it was ordained that we have Eyes and we have Ears.And for some reason, even though our Eyes may see Acts of Care done for us … it always warms the heart when the Ears hear the words of Confirmation: ‘I love you…’This is a Fundamental Truth…
Is acting "expressive"? I would think you don't express your own emotions, but simulate the emotions of a character.
Acting with Psychological Realism, or even in plays where the actor is playing a style that is not realistic, results in the actor feeling what the character feels. The intensity may be moderated because we all know that there is an element of play acting going on. Actors playing Hannibal Lecter don’t need to be physically restrained when the director calls cut so they don’t eat someones liver!A researcher, who is both an actor and a psychologist, surveyed hundreds of professional actors in the Netherlands (Elly Konijn) and found that, yes, actors definitely feel what the character feels.
Should I break up with my unemotional boyfriend?
I'm in love with this guy, but he's got issues. He isn't good at verbally or physically expressing his love for me, specially when people is around. First I thought he didn't care for me at all, so I tried to break up with him. But he 'opened' himself to me, and told me about his problems and fears, how much he loves me and cares for me, how his problem had ruined other relationships, but that this is the 1st time he cares enough to try to fix it, that he wants to learn how to show his emotions, to be sweet and romantic, how to make me happy in every way. He asked me to help him and I accepted. Besides the 'expressing' thing, we are great together, we fit together so perfectly. But lately I'm sad all the time, I feel so unloved even if he explained everything to me. I know I should be patient... but right now I'm just depressed. It awful that my friends seem to care for me more than he does. Should I still try with this realtionship? or stop hurting myself because people don't change?
