 I think you mentioned in this thread about emotionally unavailable parents. As adults, it can affect how we identify and express our feelings. I had the same kind of parents.
I validate my feelings and accept them, since I didn't get that growing up. Feelings are just ARE, not right or wrong. If that's how you feel, then that's how it is.
