Throughout our lives, we build relationships that invite us to do our best, but we can also find ourselves immersed in devastating relationships that consume and exhaust us, and can even destroy us because we are locked in cages built by an emotional predator.
Just as in nature there are animal predators that annihilate the weakest to feed, we can find a similar phenomenon in humans, led by emotional predators that do not feed on the weakest people, but do so with the strongest and strongest, possessing a gift they envy.

Many of these disconnections come from childhood, when the feelings themselves created a short circuit in the system with such intense discharge that the system itself disconnected to defend itself, so the emotions of the world have disappeared and its intellectualization has remained the same. that accepts that people can be treated as objects to achieve certain goals.
Emotional predators feel great rejection and aversion to themselves for their inability to feel, hiding behind a mask so they are not exposed.
