    Hey Confused: Maybe listening to nostalgic, emotional music, or heavy metal music can awaken you emotionally? But remember any Pressure to Feel is counterproductive. No pressure, Confused.

    I tried listening to any kind of music but it does nothing sadly. Mostly sad music ellicits sad feelings in me, nothing else.
    Its kinda hard to do when the first thought in the morning is “am i feeling today?” πŸ™

    Perhaps my feelings where never there to begin with?

    Well, a little while ago, you said you had.. what’s the word you used, real fun or hot πŸ”₯ feelings you have when talking or texting with her, only they don’t last. Right?

    Yes if our interaction isn’t heavy with feelings-focused talk and we have fun i enjoy it, or when it’s some explicit talk (aka sexting) yeah i get very engaged. But the next day i feel like i have no feelings again. I am very torn if it was infatuation or maybe i lost interest because we took too much time to meet? But if that’s the case, why do i cry in the thought of losing her forever?

    I figure for men, especially young men, sexting, or anything sexual is very powerful, even deeper than emotional.

    Given that it was a LDR and that you spent IRL only 3 days, I’d say, yes, it could be infatuation, yes.

    Why do you cry about the thought of losing her forever?

    Could be, likely is (says I), πŸ€” the re-awakening of real loss in childhood, before you ever met her (online).

    But it wasn’t like that in the beginning.It never got sexual, it was just deep and intellectual talks/bonding, the type i long for.
    The thing is, i pulled back when the meeting was about to happen, so i think that means something.
    Because i value her and i like her a lot as a person, her character is special and i wouldn’t like to lose her. I think of her voice, her humour, her craziness, all of those.

    Hmm, could u elaborate on this?

    Well, when you say that you value her, you like her a lot.. you said it only 8 minutes ago.. feeling it?

    (I’m about to go to bed, will wait for your response a few minutes)

    I “feel” it in the cognitive sense, because i know i did before, i remember it, but now i can’t feel anything. But i admire/respect her and i do have many laughs with her, which is pretty much the only thing i can feel now, besides sorrow. Idk how you “feel” about someone that u value. As for the liking part, well, i find her pretty, smart and hot. It’s just that i can’t feel those things now.

    Dear Confused

    When we consciously stop for those few breathes, we are training our mind to go where we want it to, in this case awareness of the breath in & out of our nostrils. What it offers is peace in that moment, past & future drop away.

    Good morning, Confused:

    You wrote yesterday: “But it wasn’t like that in the beginning. It never got sexual, it was just deep and intellectual talks/bonding, the type I long for. The thing is, I pulled back when the meeting was about to happen, so I think that means something.

    Maybe you’ve been afraid (since shortly before the first in real-life 3-days visit, and since then) to lose her as a non-sexual female person in your life, a deep and intellectual person, the type you long for. It could be that the sexual factor led to your emotional shutdown.

    Some men are afraid of that initial sexual contact due to fear that they are not enough and will disappoint their partner. This can happen more if there has been very little sexual experience. Not knowing if the self is enough. Lacking the self-confidence. But, if one can get thru the initial fright then a much more deeper connection can be made. Relationships are made to evolve. If you hold back and only have this platonic relationship then it will wither due to her not getting the closeness from sexual contact. And yes, the frightening sexual factor can lead to the emotional shut down. Fright can lead to drop everything and run. From my perspective, if you are all in then you need to give it your all. Let her know how you feel about her. Then take her reactions to show you if you can move forward. Listen to her. If she says stop then stop. If she lets you continue then show her you care about her.

    Hey roberta

    i will try to practice that thing as soon as i get a bit better.


    @anita

    No no, it’s not that i don’t like her sexually, it’s just that our main connection wasn’t sexual it was intellectual, which is pretty rare. I remembered before, that when the first meet was about to happen (we were checking tickets) i was asking her often if she is 100% sure about it, i was also telling her that we shouldn’t have any expectations. Was i trying to sabotage?


    @Thomas

    We are long distance so sexual contact is tough. It wasn’t sex that frightened me, it was something else probably, or just severe depressive episode.

    Even long distance relationships have moments of being together. It is truly my wish that you find someone who brings you joy and happiness. I know it may be tough to learn to trust if one has been hurt before. Depression is one tough beast to beat. Hope you find a way thru it. Good luck.
