Last night my boyfriend of seven months informed me that two years ago he was diagnosed with, as he called it, "sociopathy". I don't know the severity of it. All he told me was that until he went into therapy last year he was basically emotionless. He is having trouble dealing with the love he feels for me because he's never experienced such feelings before. Also, he has trouble relating to or sensing other people's emotions because until recently he didn't have any himself.
He's a wonderful boyfriend, but he always has been a little distant emotionally. I just want to know how I can support him in continuing to get better. What (if anything) can I do to help him get in touch with his feelings and, eventually, learn to share them more with me?
And also, is there anything I should really avoid doing?
