Definition[edit | edit source]

Emotional segregation refers to the separation or isolation of certain emotions or feelings within individuals or society. It is the tendency to suppress or compartmentalize certain emotions, while allowing others to be expressed more freely. This can occur on an individual level, where a person may feel uncomfortable or unable to fully express certain emotions due to cultural, societal, or personal reasons. It can also manifest on a broader societal level, where certain emotions are stigmatized or marginalized, leading to the creation of emotional divides in society. Emotional segregation can have negative effects on individual well-being and interpersonal relationships, as it may result in emotional repression, difficulty in communication, and a lack of understanding and empathy among individuals.
