Is it normal that i can emotionally shut down?

3 Comments

Was in a relationship for 2 years, BLINDLY in love with this girl, she was cheating on me for 3 months sadly. Once I found out, I guess you could say I turned into a statue, all of my feelings for her immediately shut off and I distanced my self away from her, I just felt empty with a small touch of WTF, no tears no emotions, I moved on and felt normal again within 1-2 weeks

This has happened twice in both of my relationships, maybe I didnt feel anything afterwards because I wasnt in love as much as I thought?

Or is my coping mechanism next tier level 99

    Your mental toughness is really high,yes. That's how people are supposed to be or aim to be in a bad situation. If you were crying about her cheating on you and sad about it all the time, people would just laugh and tell you to grow up. Don't feel guilty for having self control. And indifference isn't the opposite of liking, it's completely neutral.

    The opposite of love isn't hate, it's apathy. Being indifferent is very normal.

    I have very little emotions. I have been through what you said. I can't feel in love or hate. I can feel just plain love for few people including family.
