I feel its not normal. When It seems I'm close to someone I don't feel close. Even with family members. I've lived with them most of my life and I don't feel close to them. Like as if I have them at arms length. Friends and Family even my ex boyfriends. I kept them all at a distance. Weird right? Like if someone close to me were to show love I wouldn't be able to return that love geuinely. I dont have aspergers syndrome. So I don't know what it is? I also feel lonely but at the same time I feel content.

    it might be a coping mechanism you have acquired over your life. i have many coping mechanisms, one of which is i detach myself from my feelings. occasionally i get emotional but it has to be something HUGE. i say your fine.

    I feel the same way, however I have asperger's so that may be the explanation for me.

    I know how you feel.
    It's often quite convenient, but sucks at times too.

      yeah just don't interrupt their routine! They'll kill you!

      Fatties will eat you when you fall asleep.

    lucky you. loving family fro afar is a good thing, but all other love is just a doomed rollar coaster. continue being content, but also communicate this to future partners. they deserve to know.
