thus feelings may merely be unexpressed, rather than totally lacking. On the other hand, 'a lack of emotions which is due not to mere repression but to a real loss of contact with the objective world gives the observer a specific impression of "queerness"...The remainders of emotions or the substitutes for emotions usually refer to rage and aggressiveness'.[8] In the most extreme cases, there is a complete 'dissociation from affective states' on the part of the patient: 'not only has he hacked his intellect away from his feelings, but he has smashed his feelings and his capacity for judgement into smithereens'.[9]

…than a lack of emotion, therefore one may suppress feelings until they are able to correctly identify what that feeling is, which often gives rise to episodes of acting out. If one has teachers who act out, then the student will behave the same way. Acting out can take the form of abusing various substances rather than coping with feelings.
If one has been bombarded with television or books that trigger emotional reactions then one’s emotional responses may become inappropriate in a particular real life situation.
contact with the objective world gives the observer a specific impression of "queerness"...
This particular reasoning seems inaccurate and it all sounds like it came from Jung and his experience with his mother which could be Freud’s father or even Freud who was enraged over his father’s assault by an anti-semitic. This description would be more specific to Freud, not the whole of humanity. I never felt my experiences to be queer at all, I was well aware of what was happening to me, in fact they were quite distressing and confusing when I was a child. If I had dissociated them, then they were still distressing and confusing they were just put off onto someone else and I was accessing a part of the mind that had completely different experiences, the psychic hermaphrodite or dual personality.
