Does my intense dislike/lack of interest in society make me"normal"?
This is probably going to be rather random and scatterbrained. I do not like people. I find them annoying,obnoxious,and utterly disgusting. 90% of people that I have encountered are like this. The other 10% I have no opinion on...or feelings or interest. I hate social interactions. Whenever I deal with people it feels forced and fake. Honestly I don't care whatsoever about the bullshit people talk about,their lives,their pasts,or their interests. I don't understand social type things.I'm the last one to pick up on sarcasm. To be frank with you the whole global population could drop dead and I think I'd be quite pleased. I love peace,quiet,and solitude. Actually,the only reason I'm writing this is genuine curiosity. I would consider the thought of being a borderline sociopath but, there is a problem with that idea. I have a partner. I love her very much and care for her very much. After her though, there is no one else. I don't generally have very many emotions. I laugh..but it usually feels forced.I'm not sad or depressed.I'm not much of anything. As weird as it may seem I see a lot of myself in Dexter...minus the fact that I am not a serial killer. Not like some people wouldn't deserve it though. I laugh at "inappropriate moments" i.e. I laugh at things that make people upset I suppose. I never get upset or have any emotion ,minus boredom,at funerals.They do have good coffee though.I used to think that maybe I had Aspergers but after being exposed to those that do. Well, I have my doubts now. Basically I'm socially inept.Though I can definitely fake it.I dont generally feel guilty. I say generally because when it comes to making "mistakes" in my relationship. My partner can definitely change that. I more or less lack sympathy and compassion for my "fellow mankind". Take those commercials with the kids and the "depressing" music,about poor children that need your help and blah blah. What effect do they have on the average person? They feel bad or sad or some sort of emotion like that. What effect do they have on me? Boredom. Now I'm not saying not giving a shit about kids makes me a bad person.It was just an example of my "lack of emotions".So, any opinions?
