I come across to most/all people as cool/cold and lacking emotion. Most people like me because I've learned how to be social, etc. However, my therapist told me today that s/he thought that most of the time I don't feel anything. S/he's right, so it didn't really hurt my feelings, but it was very hard for me to hear. I don't always know what I feel, which doesn't help, but showing my feelings seems impossible. I think I'm afraid that if I show what I feel, people will walk away from me. My T knows this...we've talked about it multiple times. Still, I can't seem to let go - I don't want to take the chance people will abandon me.

How does one get to the place of taking a chance to show their emotions?
