Emotional hunger
Adults who have been deprived of care and warmth as children often experience what is called emotional hunger, which they seek to satisfy in different, often destructive ways.
Emotional hunger is felt as apathy, an inner emptiness, a lack of emotions and impressions.
The depth of these feelings is different for everyone. Some need acceptance, help, support... Others have such a strong thirst for emotions and impressions that they are ready to satisfy their needs by any means possible.
