Is it normal to only be happy by caring for someone?

As a whole, I feel quite neutral about almost everything out there. Example: I have no stance on abortion, how the world should be run, whether there is or isn't a God, or whether there is or isn't extra-terrestrial life.

Amongst all of my "lack of emotion" I feel as though the only thing that makes me happy is the need to make someone else happy.

All I want is to be able to please someone, yet, seemingly, no one is willing to accept this.

I question myself sometimes if I'm going insane. I tell myself yes. At least this provides me with a believable answer.

Am I normal? Or slowly going insane?

    I usually feel happier when I help other people. That's one major reason why I have an account here.
    I used to feel the same way about things like that, but that's probably because I ignored it at the time.

    hahaha... I think we should hang out... you basically just described me.
    It's normal. The only real way I can feel good about myself is if I can make someone else happy. It lets me know I've succeeded at something.

    Well all of our actions go back to selfishness. Even the man who gives to charity does it because of the self-satisfaction he gets so there is no such thing as "selflessness".

    Anyway. It's normal! Some people out there are satisfied when others are happy.
