The purpose of this study was to understand the experiences of adults who suffered from childhood emotional neglect and to explore its impact on their intimate relationships. This study employed a qualitative research approach, using semi-structured in-depth interviews to invite seven adults who subjectively believed they had experienced childhood emotional neglect to participate in the study. Thematic analysis was utilized to analyze the text. The results of the study were as follows: 1.The experience of childhood emotional neglect affected the formation of self-concept. In terms of personality traits, individuals tended to overemphasize others' emotions, suppress their own feelings, need external validation, strive for perfection, and fear losing relationships. Regarding the expectations placed on them within their family, these individuals were inclined to fill the roles of other family members, act as mediators to maintain balance, and easily become caregivers. In terms of interpreting the significance of childhood emotional neglect to themselves, recognizing the importance of childhood emotional neglect, understanding the intergenerational transmission of emotional neglect, and feeling relieved after understanding the caregivers' dilemmas were noted. 2.The difficulties in forming and maintaining intimate relationships due to childhood emotional neglect included feelings of inferiority in intimate relationships, insecurity about love, the desire to prevent the intergenerational transmission of childhood emotional neglect, and efforts to reduce insecurity by establishing secure relationships through honest communication and providing a sense of security. Finally, based on the research findings, this study discussed and provided several recommendations for individuals who experienced childhood emotional neglect, primary caregivers, helping professionals, the general public, and future researchers for their reference.
