not in an eating disorder sense, although i struggle with that too. i stumbled across this term while researching love addiction and was wondering if anyone here related. it's what it sounds like, starving yourself of emotional connection, usually in fear of getting "hooked" on someone or feeling rejection.

i've been feeling extremely distant from every single person in my life for over a year now, but it really took a turn for the worse when i dropped out of college at the end of 2019. i should probably seek professional help again but finding therapists that understand the complexity of my many issues is incredibly difficult, especially now since the virus stuff started getting crazy.

i'm not sure if this is the right place to post about this, but thought it might be akin to splitting. are you in an emotional fast? how does one go about reconnecting to people?
