I think the Irish can be emotionally withholding too. Joni talked about this on the interactive MUCHMUSIC program. I think it's one wanting there own space too. For instance, do not put me in the middle of two people sitting on a couch. I feel like I'm being smothered,I can't take it. To say I LOVE YOU to someone had been up until last year, very difficult for me to say. I think the fear of it not being returned and feeling vulnerable. I think that is why some Irish are notorious drinkers... it's really the only way they can open up. Ok what about other cultures? Which cultures are the most open?
