Is it normal I have such little feelings towards things. I don't know if maybe its because I was very abused in childhood. I been sexually assaulted before and I view people trying to have sex when you say no like a dog trying to hump your leg. To me they need to be trained to behave like you might a dog. Though I have far more sympathy towards real dogs then I do people in general. I am very unaffected by people being rude or threatening me for the most part. I think in some cases I should get angry but I am so indifferent towards everyone. I just view everything as petty annoyances. On the plus side this makes me great at handeling intense situations

    im not sure you are asking any question. you have reasons for your behavior and they are sound logic.

    In psychology, reduced emotional reactivity is called "flat affect". It can be caused by a number of things, including depression, as well as a number of medications.

    As you say, it does have positive aspects, since it allows you to deal with situations most people would find uncomfortably intense. But I wouldn't be surprised if you also feel detached from the world and other people at times.

    The most important question is not whether this is "normal", but whether you feel it's a problem
