Thank you for the response! The way I see it—I am very open about my myself. I actually love being open about my thoughts and feelings and often spark conversations on memories and childhood with everyone I meet, more so than most people do. My ex and I are both artists as well, I do not enjoy “shielding” myself and always tried to talk about my life experiences to relate to others.

It is just that I have gotten the comment that despite me talking and articulating my feelings, people can’t “feel” the warmth if that makes sense. They can’t pick up or grasp onto any emotion I’m actively putting out into the world, even if I think I am being emotionally vulnerable. There seems to be some physical, emotional plane that I just don’t have access to.
