I just want to stop caring. I pretend I don't but I don't think I've ever cared more about certain people in my life. I feel like caring = loss = pain.

Is It Normal?

    I've been there... Feeling pain is a part of life. Part of who I am. You cant 'not care'. Your brain is wired socially. Attaching is part of socailization.

    I sometimes wish I was the opposite I don't care about much of anything.

      I have phases like that where I feel really empty. It's like I can't win; I just swing from two extremes.
      I suppose it's not "not caring" that I want to achieve - it's people caring about me back.

    There is logical to that, and I can honestly say that over these past few days the thought has appealed to me and more each day.

      Hmm, well if you find out a way of sustaining such a notion, let me know!

        Has remaining closed off crossed your head? I mean like not telling people personal stuff about you?

          I'm very reticent as it is. Perhaps it's counteractive, as I often crave to be understood.

            You're preaching to the choir with that last line. Honestly if you're already that emotionally closed off, then I think just following the path you're in now will get you where you want to be. If you're emotionally closed off already then I think just doing that will make you not connect with anybody.
