Is it normal to not truly care about anyone?

49% Normal
9 Comments

Sometimes I wonder if people around me feel the same way as me or if they are just pretending. For some reason I really don't care about anyone. I don't have a connection to anyone. I talk to two people and the whole time I'm sitting there thinking "What am I even doing with these people?" I really don't think I'd feel anything if my own mom died. I don't consider myself selfish and people around me often tell me I'm "nice" (probably just a pushover though). I don't think I'm a sociopath because I have pretty bad social anxiety which is kind of the opposite of psychopathy.

    I know what you mean, I don't really have many friends, but the ones I do have I don't really connect with them or trust them. It's like I don't really want to hang out with them, but I don't have a reason not too.

    This one's a tough one...I don't have many friends, and am considered somewhat of a "loner" basically since I've had pot shots taken at me more than once by someone that I've considered a "friend" (one of which was printed in my high school newspaper...the writer of the article I thought was my "friend"...basically it was nothing more than a character assassination)...I do have many favorable acquaintances, however...and I do care about people...and am going through hard times myself...I agree with knight..try to get to love yourself first...for me, loving myself is much harder than is loving someone else...

    You just haven't made a connection to anyone yet. Everyone is like you until they do.

      No they arent, there are people like us that are not born pretty and awesome and friend makers. We have a part, to run the brains of this world. Im always depressed and depression is not an emotion as many think. its a state of mund that sucks. When everyone else has a pretty girl at their arm(not many respectable ones though, i prefer respectable girls)and you are stuck with your ugly butt at home fantasizing and then coming to the realization that your fantasy of a beautiful inside and out lady are impossible. You see i think like this, why in the hell would an amazing beautiful girl in and out like me? You dont see pretty and ugly go together much. I shouldnt say ugly, not attractive is a better term. Looks do go a far way regardless of everybodies "looks dont matter" garbage.
      Im in the same boat with this guy, too many dickheads in highschool , hope it to be more respectful at college. There are days i could not give less of a crap about anyone and others the opposite. I am a intrevert though i dont show emotion much at all. I build walls to keep all of the dickheads in my life from hurting me! God created us all beautiful, ppl dont look at it that way. And Jesus did die for you,soo there is somebody who loves us all! Srry for cussing i get mad over this stuff!

        Ahh high school is nothing like the real world, everything will change so I wouldn't worry about it.

    I'm just like you I have social anxiety too and used to think the same about people and even the part about not caring if your mom died. I used to think exactly like that until my mom died an it hurt me and my entire family and broke my fathers heart. Please learn to love yourself and people as much as you can try and break that anxiety by changing your careless mindset just try and connect.

    I'm the same, i have a great social life, i know a lot of people and have many friends, i never stop talking when im out, but then there is the other side of me which actually doesnt want to see a single one of them or even speak to any of them, i often ignore phone calls and texts from friends because i couldnt care less about anything they're up to or what they have to say. i know people say it often in thought but i know for a fact i couldnt care less if people close to me died, i constantly throw people away because i just found i didnt have time for them anymore. I'll admit i suppose i am selfish, end of the day in my world, i am the only person that matters, as long as i am happy i couldnt give a fuck about anyone else. personally i think its a good way to live, so you never shut yourself down for other people that most likely wouldnt do the same for you. Dont waste your time or self for anyone. you are your world.

    I feel the same way, mate. You're not a sociopath you just see through the fog. I say keep on with that before it fades cause once it does you'll wish it hadn't.
