The comment about an "emotionless environment" certainly rings true for me, but what I would add is that it took me a long time to understand that I even had this need and secondly, that there could even be such a thing as an emotionless environment. Everyone else seemed so accepting of it at the time that I thought that I was the problem.
I would love to see a follow-on article regarding the issue of learning to read these sorts of emotional cues, cues that I was brought up to ignore.
