Like when a sad movie is playing, or someone tells a really sad story and everyone cries, I feel nothing. It makes me really uncomfortable because I feel like there must be something wrong with me. I think I'm just extremely emotionally detatched, but it worries me. Also, when things that would make another person really sad happen to me, i feel nothing at all, but when small, insignificant things happen i can have nervous breakdowns. Please help:(

    omg i feel exactly the same. i've tried to talk to people about this but no one gets what i'm saying. emotionlly detatched thats how i describe it. it really doesn't seem right that so many things can happen to me that would upset other people.. yet i feel nothing. and then i have these small insignificant things that don't really mean anything and i can obsess over them and have a breakdown.. i don't get it either

    you don't have a personality disorder. they will pill you up like no ones business over something stupid. You are normal. just find others that have similar emotions and watch movies with them.

    there is absolutely nothing wrong with you. you just experience a different set of emotional reactions to things. read Camus' The Outsider. It's about a character to 'suffers' from a similar thing.

    society has conditioned us to respond to certain things in a certain way because it is convenient. parents, friends... these have all tried to conditioned you to have the 'appropriate' emotional response. and those who DON'T fit into that schema are deemed mentally ill.

    please, don't see a doctor or get freaked out. the psychiatrist will PREY on you and tell you you have something or other..

    It's not exactly normal but not really too complicated. I want you to take a quiz. The personality disorder quiz. See if it helps.
