How can i be more emotionally present?

I don’t get swept up by feelings much. I guess i’m a bit emotionally detached. In my mid teens i was ok but i lost a girl I liked alot and then my cousin died. I was very embarressed to show emotion at his funeral cos while I was crying, my dad was very stoic. Since then i’ve drifted through a few very short relationships. I guess the pain I felt back then has taught me it’s better to be absent then feel pain. But i know this wont get me much happiness in the future. I knowmy ex girlfriend has new bf, and i feel a twinge of jealousy. I want to feel again
