Is it normal i depress people by accident?

People seem to feel more about things then I do. I have a odd way of looking at things which would make my outlook seem positive. I sometimes speak about how I feel or bad things that happened to me like nothing. Its actually very matter a fact how I do it. Then people suddenly become sad.

I look at them horribly confused as to why they suddenly are upset. I mean I dont care so why would they? It means absolutely nothing in my brain but somehow it does to them. This also discourages me from actually discussing how I feel since when I actually do (I dont often) people tend to react this way.

I tend to not care very much for myself but I usually have a goal or else I see the benefit vs the loss. So any at all costs or heart ache on the way must be worth it but somehow it just depresses people and I wonder "Why does everyone care so much"? People have also gotten angry at me for not caring more. "You were raped why are you not crying"? Oh I dont know its over now no use in being upset about it. Is there just something terribly wrong with me?

    Sounds like you have a discouraging way of conveying an upbeat attitude.

      You think I am upbeat? Wow, I never heard such positive things before. People always seem to be telling me im bad for this stuff or I am doing something wrong XD.

        Your take sounds like upbeat pessimism. You have low expectations of people, society, and civilization's ability to heal itself. The degradation of everything is actually comic relief, because people are confronted with the consequences of their own ignorance. What could be more laughable?

          I feel like that too. It becomes necessary to laugh at how ridiculous it is for everything to be so fucked up.

    Most people are emotionally unbalanced.

        Sure if it's that complimentary. It seems most people are emotionally unbalanced because they get upset over stuff they can do nothing about. People shouldn't encourage you to feel bad. That seems unnecessary.

          But they say I dont care enough and I should care more. Depression is the normal reaction to the situation and if I dont feel extreme depression I am not normal. So I am suppose to be sad.

            Sounds like you are just not dwelling on past events. It's not normal for them to tell someone they should be depressed. Your friends do not sound like very positive people.
