Is it normal to care about nothing?

I'm not depressed. I'm actually a very happy person and I take care of myself. But I literally do not care about anything. My parents, roommates, friends always get frustrated with me because of how little I care. I leave my house/car trashed because I don't care. If I make a mistake, break something, lose something- ok whatever. When people come to me with their petty drama, I cannot empathize. I absolutely value my family, friends, and relationships, and I strive for excellence in school and work. But I can't help but feel like nothing else matters! People get so upset/angry over the most trivial shit, and I guess I have no feelings? It doesn't matter in the long run, and I'm not going to waste my time getting worked up about it! But everyone else does and thinks I'm in the wrong. I guess I just feel like everyone needs to relax and lighten up. is it normal to feel so detached?

    You do care, at least about yourself. You care enough to do what makes you happy because you enjoy feeling that way, and you care to keep yourself in a place where you want to be. You are not detached imo, but just too laid back. To others it may seem as if you are being too self important, which is why they get pissed. I suggest you try to work out your relationships directly, such as going out to a dinner which you will enjoy, but so will whomever you are trying to reconcile with at that time. Everyone will have a little bit of difference they want from you, whether it will be friends wanting you to come see them play at games more, or your parents wanting to care for the space they provide you with more. Over-all, people expect and want more responsibilities from you to be taken care of, and want to feel as if they are not the bland, unimportant side dishes to your main entre of life. Good luck man.

    Regarding some things, maybe you could teach them to relax and lighten up, rather than simply expecting them to do so.

    ah you're probably just apathetic. It's normal, especially here in Australia where I live. Its the most isolated city in the world so people tend not to care much about world events unless it effects them directly. The water here carries a lot of fluoride too, which makes people indifferent.

    When someone/something is close or important to me, I care a fuckload. However, I tend to not give a shit about people or situations that do not directly influence my life. Starving kids in africa? Fuck em. I didn't make the babies, and I sure as shit won't feel bad for them. Mc donalds supposedly has traces of human flesh? I ate a big mac yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it. Same with people's bullshit drama, I could really not care less about it unless you're a close friend or family member and I actually want to help you.
