I'm becoming more unemotional.

For most of my life, I've been what you would call a doormat, or a push-over. I've let people walk all over me time after time again. I normally don't protest because it's always made people get angry at me, or they will tell me to " Stop being so grumpy."

It makes me angry because I feel like they don't treat me with respect, or maybe they just don't care about how I feel.
Since I am nervous about speaking up, I will often retreat to daydreaming to relieve my stress. My daydreams are often disturbing, usually containing thoughts of murder, or suicide. It depends on how I feel. Sometimes I feel like it's their fault, and other times I think it's my fault for being so weak.

I know people will hate me when I say this, but sometimes, when I read about someone who has killed someone, I feel a sense of envy, and acceptance. Of course, it depends on what happened.
For example, if the person had killed a bully, or an abuser, than that's when I will side with the murderer, because I can understand where they are coming from.

I admit, that probably isn't normal, but at this point in my life, I don't care what's considered normal anymore. I have nothing left to lose, so if you think I'm disgusting, or whatever, then that's you talking, not me. I'm tired of caring about what others think of me because it has gotten me nothing in return. I feel used and ignored, so why should I care about how others feel?

However, saying it and doing it are two different things.
In the real world, I still feel hesitant when talking about how I feel, and I still can't bring myself to fight back anyone who gets on my bad side, which is why I prefer to lock myself in my room. It's not really speaking my mind, but being alone is better than biting my tongue and letting people yell at me.

  • Your angry feelings are normal and homicidal thoughts are common, especially when they are directed towards people who are abusive.
    What you do need to work on is expressing what you are unhappy with. You may think you are avoiding problems, but when you avoid a problem you allow it to grow.
    If you ever feel confused about whether your anger or opinion is approperiate, keep in mind that you always have the right to express your opinion regardless if you a right or wrong, and if people cannot respect you and tell you your feelings are wrong, they are not somebody worth dealing with, because an opinion is never right or wrong. It is an opinion.

    Under different circumstances, but I feel much like this. I have become more reserved in who i engage my time with, yet i have noticed that my emotional level is a lot less when i am engaged with people.
    I'm not going to give a sob story, but after dealing with multiple abusive situations, almost one after the other, I have become very detached from emotions other than anger and perhaps, shame on a deeper level.
    Sounds normal, bud. Hang in there!

    You need to utilise your anger and feelings of disdain in a constructive way.
    Why do you feel people are treating you like this? Is the sole reason that you are "weak"?
    Well then... that's your motivation. start exercising. Take youtube self defence seminars to build your own confidence. Mold yourself. Then join a sport. Be part of a team.
    Fix yourself instead of making excuses for yourself

    I know very much how you feel.
    Being passive is seen as weak but sometimes it's the only/best option I have. And the daydreaming thing is a big coping mechanism of mine.
