Is it normal that i am emotionally blind?

5 Comments

Well, let me start by saying I feel reasonably sane. But I know I have some kind of personality disorder or something wrong with me. I can barely feel empathy, even for some family members. For example, when they pass away I don't feel much (this doesn't apply to immediate family), but I know I can feel empathy and sympathy, I have felt it for family, friends, and pets.

I constantly feel frustrated and irritated, only having exercise, alcohol, and marijuana as a release. Sometimes i think the only reason I joined the army was for the adrenaline, violence, and the feeling of already being dead.

PS: It's not PTSD, i had these feelings since my teenage years.

So my question is, AM I NORMAL?

    If you really feel there is something wrong, go talk to a psychologist. The internet is not a good place to get a diagnosis.

    My Uncle died I felt nothing. My Dad got cancer, I was kind of happy actually.The only person I would feel something for is if my Mom died or my brother died. I don't care if my friends die

    I don't see anything wrong, people need an outlet to their feelings so everything you described seems normal, and you cannot blame yourself for not feeling sorry for not knowing (not well) someone who died. Obviously no one's going to feel sorry for someone they didn't know (not counting some morbid scenario in which they died). Truth be told I still haven't felt sorry for anyone who died in my past immediate family other than my grandmother (person who raised me) and even so I got over it quickly. Death is natural, there's nothing to feel sorry about, it's bound to happen to everyone so what's the point of mourning over it?

    I have that too. Like my uncle died. I felt nothing. I never had a grandpa and I don't feel bad. My moms mom died. I have a hard time feeling pain for people that I didn't really know I guess. I always get angry at myself and cause others stress with me being stupid

    Nobody is going to be able to diagnose you over the internet, especially with your vague description.
    To me that all sounded pretty normal. I have aspergers though and while you didn't list that one I could relate to some of it.
