Having two separate sides to your personality can be difficult. Particularly when you\u2019re an emotionally detached person, hard shell on the outside and secretly affectionate on the inside, with few special people.<\/p>\n
Here are ten struggles only those people face:<\/p>\n
People may assume that since you\u2019re not all over your partner in public, that you aren\u2019t that into them or that you\u2019re never affectionate in private either. For emotionally detached\/affectionate people, showing affection is something private that can be enjoyed without others seeing and for them, it has no reflection of the relationship whatsoever.<\/p>\n
Being emotionally detached and secretly affectionate can mean you like your cuddles<\/a>, but you also like your own space, especially at bedtime. Sure, it\u2019s nice to know the person you care for is next to you, but you just don\u2019t want them to be too<\/em> close to your personal space.<\/p>\n Sure, it can be cute when you see a loved-up couple sharing a quick moment together, but when it\u2019s too much, it\u2019s too much<\/em> and you just can\u2019t cope with it.<\/p>\n When it comes to saying bye to people, especially strangers, you\u2019d rather walk away and wave behind you than hug them goodbye because that means having somebody in your personal space and most of the time, you\u2019re just not okay with that.<\/p>\n This one can come in many shapes and sizes<\/a>. Whether it\u2019s drunk friends, family parties or sometimes even strangers, people who are touchy-feely and get all up in your personal space make you feel way too uncomfortable. Family parties are the worst \u2013 everyone kissing you on your cheeks and giving familial hugs, it\u2019s too much and it needs to stop!<\/p>\n Whether they mean to or not, emotionally detached\/affectionate people usually have a lot of walls up in new relationships. They may be entirely sure of their feelings<\/a>\u00a0but may struggle to get them out, particularly when it comes to saying those three special words.<\/p>\n When you care about someone, you really do care and when that person really needs you, you\u2019re there no matter what. The distant side to you can completely disappear when a loved one is in need and they can often be shocked by your caring attitude.<\/p>\n Whether it\u2019s saying goodbye to your friend or welcoming a family member at the airport, you hate <\/em>when other people watch you and your social interactions. Those are meant to be private and when other people are watching you, it can make you very uncomfortable and adds pressure that you already felt from having to deal with close personal interactions anyway!<\/p>\n If somebody you don\u2019t know that well gets upset over something small, the emotion can shock you and you don\u2019t know how to act. This is very different to point number 7, which was about people you care about.<\/p>\n3. Seeing PDA tends to unsettle you<\/h3>\n
