Hi tkazzy. I am also very limited when it comes to emotions. A while ago I learned about attachment theory. There's a pretty good explanation on Wikipedia. It helped me understand how those around me seemed to instinctively know how to connect emotionally and I felt like I'd missed the class where they explained to everyone. And after spending years living with it trying to teach yourself what many others learned in their first few years is like a blind person trying to understand yellow. I hope you can find someone who understands this well enough to help you.
