Whoa. I think this is the heaviest thing you've written so far. Full of curiosity about what you're describing, but don't feel like you have to share it. Wow.
A bunch of years ago I was feeling very closed off, empty, probably depressed. Although at the time I didn't really understand what was going on with me.
I was getting ready to move and wouldn't be seeing my friends for awhile. We all stayed up late talking a few days before I had to leave. And i found myself listening to one of my friends talk and feeling like I had nothing to say, feeling like I was completely empty inside, out of touch with everything going on with me.
He was telling me all these stories about all this stuff going on in his life and I just didn't even know what to say back to him. I just felt lost, like i had lost all my words.
It was very weird and upsetting for me, because I am a talker. Once you get me started I don't shut up.
Since then i have felt that way, but i recognize it now for what it is/ A closing off of feeling, a shutting down, because things are too tough or because I'm getting depressed or whatever.

I feel this way when I read others; I live this way some times. Words fail me, or I perhaps I have failed them.
Bravo.
