I think it may mean different things to different people, but to me it means, someone who isn't in touch with their own feelings, who isn't aware of how their behaviour makes others feel, or if they are aware they either don't care or are too impoverished as human beings to care about the feelings of others and the pain they cause.  I would even describe some of them as sociopaths, i.e. people who have no regard for the feelings of others and no capacity to feel for or think about anyone but themselves.  I would say they often have a distinct lack of substance to their inner being and are emotionally bankrupt!!  As for the behaviour of a player, they are out to get you emotionally hooked and they feed off this emotion like a parasite or vampire (as generally, they are dead inside themselves), then when they have you hooked, job done, emotion sucked out, ego appropriately boosted and move on to the next victim for another fix.  How they may get you emotionally hooked is by doing and saying whatever  'loving',  'caring', and 'charming' things that need to be said and done, without being able to emotionally connect with the meaning any of it.  So it is completely false, but they may not realise this so that makes them very hard to spot!!  I think this is the worst thing about a player, they are often not aware that this is what they are doing which makes any kind of honest or genuine relationship with them impossible, well, at least until they have grown up, if they ever do ... very, very interesting question, thank you for asking it!!

I would bet that something else is bothering him, and you triggered an emotion.  It doesn't mean that there is any deep seated issue, and it doesn't mean there isn't.  In situations like that, I ignore the instance and bring it up later in a neutral and non condemning manner.  Then I see how the individual reacts once removed from the situation emotionally.

Emotional is far worse than physical.  A spouse may go through a period of weakness - and seek outside physical contact - but that betrayal does not in any way mean that he/she has stopped loving their spouse - they just have a period of weakness --- However when you get involved emotionally outside the marriage, that means something else again ---- many spouse that cheat confuse emotional attraction and just physical attraction --- and the spouse may be temporarily ( 1 day 1 week or months) "addicted" to the outside influence that they think is emotional when it is only passion for physical contact with someone else --- In time a spouse that cheated will return and the love he/she has for their spouse remains ----  Love in a marriage means MUCH more than physical contact -- and that is not to minimize the hurt and brtrayal caused by a spous that cheats ---- but cheating by and of itself DOES NOT need to mean the end of the marriage ---- obvioulsy, there was something missing in the marriage for the betrayal to occur

There are all kinds of intelligence, including emotional intelligence.  An emotional child is capable of learning just as well as a less emotional child.  However, in an educational setting, how the emotions are expressed will have an impact on how well the teachers can deal with an emotional child.  If it leads to throwing tantrums, the behavior has to be addressed because it distracts other students from learning.  But all the rest is just the formation of a unique little personality which is precious.

It is just an expression...literaly. Like when we use "paraboles" or "metaphores", to describe a situation. There is a song .."how can you mend a broken heart", it is like, how do you recover from deep  pain, deep hurt.

Having a "thin skin" isn't a bad thing at all.  It's really an indication that you react to the world around you and that your feelings are in good working order.  Many people have built up such strong psychological mechanisms against feeling hurt that they have become numb to their own emotional pain.  The problem is that we can't choose which emotions we block out; eventually they all go numb - even happiness. So you are at an advantage if your emotional awareness tells you when something isn't right, or when you are with someone who doesn't have your best interests at heart.  You'll know much sooner when it's time to get away from someone, with your capacity for happiness still intact.  Lucky you.

Cancer & Cancer\n\nBoth of you are very sensitive, sympathetic and emotional, with moods that shift and change like the tides. Though you may hide behind a shall of equanimity or indifference, you are really very easily hurt and take almost everything personally. You both have deep feelings for, and sentimental attachments to, the past, your home and family, or anything or anyone you once had a close affiliation with (school, home town, friends, etc.). If your backgrounds are very different, this may be more of a problem for you both than it would be to other people, because your identification with your origins is so strong.\n\nBoth of you need to be needed, and desire a very close, secure, loving and protective relationship. Family or domesticity is extremely important to you. Because of your empathy for one another, and your similar temperaments, you blend quite well together.\n\nA sympathetic rapport exists between you which enables you to understand one another's feelings, needs, insecurities, and inner life very well.\n\nBoth of you have a deep need for nurturing relationships, for a sense of family and belonging, and a strong home base. You become very dependent on loved ones for a sense of security and you often smother the people you care about. you have a strong desire to mother or be mothered by your mate.\n\nBecause you are so sensitive, moody, and easily hurt, some people find you difficult to live with, but you find one another quite understanding.\n\nA few problems may arise however. One is that you may reinforce one another's dependencies and weaknesses by babying one another too much, or by clinging to one another when one or both of you really needs to branch out in order to grow. Also, what happens when both of you are feeling vulnerable and needy and want to be babied at the same time? Who will do the parenting? At such times you may both act very childish, like "spoiled brats" in fact!\n\nAlthough you both strive to be responsible, respectful, and dedicated to each other, there is a strong tendency for this relationship to focus TOO MUCH on responsibilities and commitments. Cancer is likely to feel unjustly criticised, frustrated by Cancer's moral and ethical attitudes, and eventually resent the limitations and responsibilities imposed by this relationship. Emotional distance, coolness, indifference to feelings, and a sense of loneliness or oppression can develop between you. To make this relationship work, you both must avoid the tendency to let your sense of responsibility and concern for the other person cause you to try to control your partner's life.\n\nThis relationship is not an easy one! There is a sense of responsibility towards each other that may incline you to marry or form some kind of long-lasting commitment to each other. But although the union is likely to be long-lasting, it is also likely to have more than its fair share of frustrations and difficulties. At times you both feel emotionally constrained and inhibited by being together, and this relationship may feel like a form of imprisonment! or need to dominate Cancer's life. Cancer's emotional needs and feelings are ignored and neglected at times, leaving Cancer feeling alone in this relationship. Most likely there is too much emphasis on responsibilities and obligations and not enough attention given to the needs for acceptance and tenderness. The serious tone of the relationship also stifles play and light-hearted fun-loving activities. This relationship may endure even when your feelings towards one another have cooled because there is a great deal of security in it, even if there is little satisfaction over time.\n\nThe passionate, deliciously amorous feelings you arouse in one another initially are destined always to be an important "glue" in your relationship. This powerful drive you feel toward one another will be hard to ignore, and it is unlikely the two of you will ever be "just

Simply put, intimacy is closeness... getting close to someone... so emotional intimacy would be getting close to someone emotionally. \n\n"Nice Guys" have been known to have trouble with emotional intimacy for a couple of reasons, not the least of which is "Just Friends" syndrome.  A nice guy is usually very much in love with a girl who he finds unattainable - usually because she is attracted to "bad boys".\n\nThe result is he finds himself being tormented because he wants to be there for his female friend, but he also wants to be the one she wants (which while it would seem to solve a huge problem for both of them, he has a hard time getting this across to her because he doesn't want to upset and already delicate situation.)  At the same time, the girl may complain about not being able to find a nice guy... but when he makes a move, she says she doesn't want to ruin their friendship.  What's a nice guy to do???

The confusion of these terms is one of my pet peeves! Affect is most commonly a verb, meaning "to influence", where effect is a result (noun). Affect can also mean emotion and is commonly used in the psych fields. (i.e. flat affect=no emotion registered on the face). \n\nRepeat after me, folks: "I can AFFECT the EFFECT!"\n\nA RARE use of effect as a verb means "to bring about or create", but again, that is quite rare.\n\nexample sentences: \nIf I drink too much tonight, it will really AFFECT my test taking ability tomorrow morning.\n\nHis wiley charms had no EFFECT on me.\n\nThe lack of rain fall has really AFFECTED the growth of our crops.\n\nThe lack of rain fall has had a lasting EFFECT on the growth.

Well  I would evaluate them both in different scenarios of stress and responses.  See which one is better.  See them in and out of their elements.  Find the stronger character.  If you're shy type.  Go for the outgoing type.  and vise versa.

In my opinion it is a response to a stimuli because it's (for the most part) uncontrollable.  If it was an emotion you would just be scared of nothing for no reason, right?
