I can relate to this. Ive often said it myself. You might be aspergeric. Or had been raised by one? David Wallin's book on Attachment might be informative, or anything on Childhood Emotional Neglect, a fairly new concept. People used to think, "no harm, no foul / abuse"? - but isolation / neglect IS harm.

I see it as, nothing was put into that bucket, so i dont have anything to give from there. Therapy can put SOME stuff into the bucket and make a person more "normal".
