"Many individuals experience feelings of longing and desperation they mistake for love. They fail to make a distinction between emotional hunger, which is a strong need caused by emotional deprivation in childhood, and feelings of genuine love and concern...
Close contact with an emotionally hungry person has the opposite effect of nurturance: the more time spent with this person, the more debilitating the effect."
Dr. Robert Firestone in The Fear of Intimacy
