Struggling with Emotional Connection

Many individuals find it challenging to connect with their emotions due to societal norms that discourage emotional expression, particularly in environments like nightclubs where vulnerability is perceived as weakness. The common upbringing often leads to emotional numbness, leaving people feeling disconnected from their true feelings. This disconnection can be compounded by cultural expectations that promote stoicism or restraint, particularly among men. As one opens up about their journey of rediscovering emotions, they realize the importance of acknowledging a range of feelings beyond just anxiety or worry, encouraging a deeper understanding of emotional complexity.
