Considering our needs etc, isit possible to supress emotional needs and erase them for a person? can women do this? just wondering as men are wired differently and i know they are emotionally detached at the best of times. I'm in a relationship where i have fun and want to experience (i'm a teenager) different things, but i feel i should be less emotional at this stage..how can i distance myself?

Yes it is possible for a woman to detach herself emotionally from a relationship but it has to be at the beginning. Right off she has to make up in her mind that "I'm not going to think to much of this and I'm not going to give too much to this," or eolse once she's sucked in, it's almost always impossible to get out and above. If you want to distance yourself, it's going to be hard...so then just talk to him about it and see how he feels about your feelings. Don't play games.

I know how you feel. I am 16 years old nearly 17, and have been with my boyfriend since I was 14. Lately I have been wondering if this is really what I want. I feel like I committed myself too young and I didn't get to find out who I truly am before becoming dependent on someone else. However, because of our hormones, I don't think it's possible to emotionally detach yourself from someone you care very deeply about.

It's not something you can suddenly do...it'll always be there. Unless you've got a built in emotion suppreser (like me lucky lil thing that I am ;D) it'd be hard.
But all you can do, is learn to ignore it. Its an emotion, it passes, in 5 years time you wont even remember feeling the emotion, and there is ALWAYS more fish in the sea...just learn to ignore it!
Realise that emotion is only a small chamical spark going through your brain, although being a teenager makes everything 10 times as emotional (according to my parents that is lol)
it still shouldnt be a ruling factor.

Concentrate on tending to yourself. Find the things that you enjoy and do them. Spend more time with your friends. Care for yourself, and it will distance you from the other person.
When you start thinking about the relationship too much, ask instead, what activity would I enjoy? For example, a movie, a visit with friends, etc.--then do those things.

i am not sure but just know that your emotions have value but are NOT YOU. remember that and try to think about how you are going to act before emotionally freaking out about something. Dont supress your emotions....think abotu them and try to gain perspective on them. I think it is good that you are thinking about this as a teenager and as you get older you will get better at not letting you emotion out of control. men find women who are in control of their emotions attractive on a deeper level

Don't distance yourself. Get into relationships that you can put all of your emotions into.

you cant. those emotions will catch up with you no matter how much you try to detach yourself.
