Has anyone ever experienced absorption with another person? I had an experience twice with an apposite sex coworker. While working with them we made lots of eye gaze contact and I became absorbed in them when doing it. I felt lots of warmth and kindness and safety. It was a first of a kind experience for me. I was dissociative the entire time except instead of being internally absorbed I was absorbed into the other person through eye gaze. (I was abused by largely female caregivers as a child as male so I have lots of fear of women while also desiring their attention)
