emotionally constipated

I heard this term while listening to an old “This American Life” and it totally connected with a feeling I sometimes get.

Later in the program, there’s a story about the worlds worst wedding toast and the conclusions there are exactly what I like about life. I’ve always said I enjoy the range of human emotion, and sometimes I want to fall in love and have my heart broken to feel that side of the range. I guess when my parents die, I will experience a similar depth of emotion so maybe I don’t need to fall in love.
