Is it normal that i cant feel much emotion?

Once I got to be 11 I started to see and feel like I thought way different from all the other kids around me. They would find it so easy to talk to others and then I was the different one that would sit alone. I wanted to talk to the other kids but i always couldent seem to fit in with them. As I got to 13 I started to feel less happy and became deeply depressed. As I got to age 14 I started to lie all the time and would do a lot of bad things like stealing or self harm. I couldent keep any friends because I would lose them soon. As I turned 15 people started to be a able to tell that I couldent seem to feel much. Like i could get used by a guy over and over again and I Wouldn't care. If I hurted someone and i said sorry, sometimes they would say no your not. From 13-16 I was in and out of mental hospitals. Now im 17 and really felt not even a bit of emotion while I wrote this. So am I different?

  • There's a certain part of your brain responsible for emotions. Maybe that part just didn't form correctly? Seems like it could be caused by a mental reason...

  • You story reminds me of myself when I was a kid. I killed cats, dogs, started fights, suicide attempts, set fires and so on... You'll grow out of it.

  • I can't vote normal or not because I don't honestly know. I can tell you I'm in my early teens and I have always been severely depressed. I don't have many friends and I am distant from my family. Emotion is something I've always been a little dumb struck by. I may not be 17 but I can relate as any young teen can with my problem so I say with what I can, you aren't an outcast and emotion isn't something everyone can share.

    • Hey thx to be honest I thought this would turn out bad. You helped me see that maybe it is not as bad as it sounds.
