Emotionally Retarded
8 years ago
My mother and I share a lot of common traits. Being emotionally retarded is apparently one of those we share.
Emotional Retardation is described in a number of ways.
1. You either possess an inability or refusal to express, detect, or react to emotions, in either oneself or in others.
2. You can only detect or respond to the extremes of emotions and fail to detect the subtle grey areas in between.
3. You make a conscious effort to deny emotions altogether.
Honestly, I think everyone has been emotionally retarded at some point and still are to some degree. It is something that frustrates others and hinders communication. It also can cause fear and anxiety, especially in the third option there. For you never really know how the other party is feeling and just how upset, hurt and angry they may be.
I wonder who else falls in the category of being emotionally retarded more than not.
