it’s okay to have little feeling. a friend of mine is like that… he says he hasn’t cried in years & i believe him.
as long as you recognize that there are others in this world & respect them i think you’re alright. it’s when you use your detachment to hurt others that you enter into the wrong. it’s probably a gift that you don’t judge others based on emotion…

but if you want to get more in touch with your feelings, listen to music or watch a movie that moves you.

& tho your mom loves you, it’s probably difficult for her to say it for one reason or another. parents are people too, try not to let her mistakes effect you too much.

also “caring” means different things to different people. beware tho, if you tell the world you don’t care about it. it likely ceases to care about you… not a very smart move in my opinion.

you have emotions! You just shut them off. I did the same thing, but after a while, they just came back. Eventually, they will come back.

I don’t believe that, becuase I was one of the people that don’t care about other people **** matter of fact I generally don’t care abotu what some one thinks I don’t care about when they say **** I don’t caer, if it’s not about helping me get far in life I don’t care abotu them
I don’t caer if they have had a death who hasnt I don’t caer about girls becuase they all just use you when you think about it and that is the truth….guys do the same but hey girls can hurt guys worst then guys hurt girls./…real tlak

I don’t kow it’s real talk
I just don’t care about **** and as I go off to college I really don’t care, but the thing I do care about it taking care of myself and doing me no matter what I do real talk

I definately ‘feel’ the same way. society sets up rules, for a lack of a better word, on how we should feel and react to certain situations. that is how i have lived my live thus far. all my emotions generally have been fabricated and altered to meet the expectations that i believe people expect from you. for me showing emotions has always been a sign of weakness and a main way that people can manipulate you. if they know what really bothers you, hurts you, etc., they can use that against you. I also can that I tend to hold emotions back for that reason and will lie to peopl all the time to make them believe that everything is ok because saying ‘yes’ is easier than saying ‘no, because…’
the very few feelings i have are strong but i keep them to myself, maybe a lack of trust in people as a whole has turned my so bitter and apathetic…

The same here. I used to live with not that good family, They were like leach sucked off all my feelings. I discovered that who never got loved can’t love. Long time I didn’t cry, Never share love feelings in my relationships. I dont like nice things like pets - I think if you looked carefully you will find nothing nice arround you, things you wish to have will be boring after you have. Used to think that you can change things if you were nice to people and etc (this rubbish) but the real if you didnt have someone to lean on while you not have to make him lean on you then you cant have anything nice. People judge you from your family. Families, you cant choose it or change it but it change you. It is bad when you feel like you are someone insdie someone, really lonely! Usually I like to change my look (cut my hair) when I BOILING inside, with time you will just used to it.

You should see a psychiatrist. Not having feelings can mean psycopathy.

i don’t know how to explain myself right now, i’m just tired of hiding, when i should be living. I constantly try to change my reactions to things, and dream of a day where all is as it should be. and i’m happy. and seriously- i don’t react to things around people i’m too scared to. i just hear everything i think and i try to restrict it. I just have no connection with anyone at all in any way that gives me any feeling of power, whatsoever. ANY feeling of control over my life. Knowing what i want, communicating that to you- other people it’s just ****** and thisi s the first time i’m even complaining about it with any voice at all. I just feel like i have no voice, so people can only have pity for me, so nothing is real. what can i do the only connection i feel, naturally, the only natural voice i have that i use with other people is when i’m letting them know that i’m fine with never seeing them again. Friends back down at this, my parents just get angrier than ever. This is when i FEEL like me. when i’m putting distance between me and other people. I feel like this is totally inappropriate. tired of only laughing at people’s pain. and my own, and sitting here praying for death or total transformation from how retarded and pathetic, hopeless and ****** i feel. i don’t even know if i should edit this to help people understand it better.

I cannot develop feelings for people. There are some people that I like to be around but cannot see myself be with them or having deeper feelings for. I feel this way with everyone. There have been only 3 people that I developed feelings for but did not become aware of my feelings until they were gone. I feel like I’m scared for some reason to feel vulnerable and I’m the typical person who uses humor to change the subject. Feelings are scary and people tend to misuse your feelings. I feel dead inside. No one sparks my interest and the touch of the uninteresting is sickening. I constantly question the relationship when I am in one and push the person away. I never tell my true feelings- or I feel that they don’t exist until it’s too late. I don’t know what’s wrong with me.
