Masculine and Nacho Men: How do you manage to live life with no emotions?

I'm pretty sure I'm masculine myself, who maybe the macho type person if you consider a person with an above-average emotional intelligence who also likes to manage his own looks with a hairstyle, weight loss and eye brow trimming with avid approach to college. I'm 21 and currently suffering from depression. I'm currently in a situation that has stemmed from how my parents had raised me with no nurturing of empathy, companionship and romance. I'm not asking to be nurtured, no. I'm just wondering how you manage to live without those things since I"m now feeling isolated from society for not being able to express those feelings, though able to express guilt and romance. I was my mum's favorite from infancy to 9 for being the cutest child and 3rd born child, but forgot about me when I became 2nd child of family when the oldest one died and 4th being born. I feel like my parents had damaged my life permanently. 'Once a person is raised like that, it can't change' since it basically defines who you are and is now a solid foundation...*Macho Man* I seem to have an Auto-Erect problem that I need to show my friends to fix up.*Auto-Correct* I have a problem with my iPad.

People change all the time when they learn new skills and behaviors. Over time they become a subconscious or unconscious default reaction and then automatically the types of personality traits people have.So first your parents have not damaged your life - you can learn how to connect with your emotions and healthy ways to express them. You are already connecting to yourself with empathy in order to feel depressed And you are using a state of depression in a positive way to evaluate your life, see what needs to be fixed to get over the depression - the next step is to make changes.You are in a great position because your at college and there are bound to be all sorts of classes and talks covering emotional expression ranging from woo woo new age to psychology based approaches. The bottom line is - you are totally able to change who you are - we do it everyday every time you learn something new.The first step is to get a better understanding of how you operate, who you are (your Self Identity) and from this you can see your strengths and weakness, what you are happy with, what you can work on to change and what was unrealistic from the beginning and needed to be reframed. Rather than repeat what is already written I will suggest an article to read on how to discover who you are and why http://www.mindfithypnosis.com/who-am-i-self-identityFrom the article you will be able to identify your world view (usually unconscious) what you value, your personal rules and what your boundaries are - and how to change them all.
