    I would say it's tantamount to repression.

    Emotional constipation is the anal retentive persona that is a cold and/or unfeeling person. Scrooge is a good example. High doses of drugs and alcohol are the best known remedy.

    Nicely put. You should definitely describe someone you know with that, I'm sure they'll appreciate your sensitivity.

    I guess it means being unable to talk about your feelings... Or just being unable to feel for a bit.

    I think it would be the inability to describe your feelings, or maybe having your feelings so repressed you cannot express them or appear to be without them.

    So, in other words, a typical man ;o)
