  • Obviously you do, but you just want to be seen like you don't.
    You are in a relationship...If you had no emotion, you wouldn't be in one.

    You are looking for input in this because your partner said show emotion or he is gone, and you are asking others for input, which shows you do care.

    Showing emotion and having emotions are two seperate things.

    You don't feel emotions and you have a boyfriend. How comes?

      Physical needs are never numbed without a physical numbness.

    Perhaps you do have emotions but you just don't know how to show them. Perhaps expressing them is the real issue. I think that if you had no emotions, it wouldn't concern you. I don't think that it's abnormal. There are a lot of people who have problems showing their emotions, and I will not deny times where it seems like I don't feel anything. If it seems to be a big problem then, like VioletTrees said, maybe talk to a counsellor about it.

    This seems like something you should talk to a psychiatrist or other doctor about.

    Well, sense that will improve your relationship and satisfy him. And you thus get to keep him. Otherwise, let it go... Though I will say, there is a valid motive behind this. I suggest that you just go with it, see what happens.

        You may be a psychopath. No, that's not really a bad thing. 99% of people, including psychopaths, don't kill people. It simply means that your emotions aren't manifested to you, and you don't really have the capability of having them, but you do understand them. Of course, this is probably not the case, but it's a possibility.

    Well there you go. It's not normal to not show real emotion. Try and be honest about your emotional expressions.

    There are those who are raised around those who show no emotion towards everything. Whether they are suprised with presents, win something or be admired by another; so they also just don't have the knowledge of how to show any emotion in specific situations. When they're old enough to think for themselves, they think it's normal for them to be like that cos of the benefits: they don't get teased (who teases someone who doesn't get offended?), they aren't vulnerable in a relationship (this is good cos it gives you control in a relationship, but it's also VERY bad cos showing capability of being hurt is very important for an honest, happy and long-lasting relationship).

    You cannot be human and not have emotions (unless you're some kinda unknown species). I've met a lot of dudes like you, they define themselves as psychopaths and heartless merely to avoid getting hurt cos really...they are severely emotional. The emotion-less act (that can also blend in with your personality...seldom permanetly) is to give people the impression that it's a waste of their time to try anything hurtful to you, so they don't. You thus feel like you intimidate others, and you also like that.

    Start by allowing yourself to get hurt by the one you are in a relationship with, and show it. Being loving is all about doing what she likes at the time she least expects, do that and see how you feel when she's happy. Talking about feelings, I feel like your post is...mhm, well selective disinformation. But I like feelings so I answered anyway. Peace *
