Is it normal to stop caring so easily?

It's really easy for me to stop caring about people, even if they're close to me. Like a couple of my best friends started ignoring me, and I just thought it was rude and stopped hanging out with them. I really don't miss them at all... I was dating this guy for like 4 months and we got in a fight and he said some pretty mean stuff, so I broke up with him and didn't look back. He was practically begging for me back but I just had no feelings anymore. I don't get it, does it make me a bad person? I really just don't care about them anymore, even though they were all really important to me

    I voted not normal but I based that on myself and how I feel about it. I am the opposite of you, I never stop caring. Sometimes, when I feel hurt, I do wish I was like you, but in other ways I'm glad that I'm not. :)

      Same!
      It seems that being like the writter seems easier because I get hurt and sad a lot because I can't stop caring.

    i have been having this prob lately but i have had a rough life and a lot of abusive ppl in it including my parents. I still care i have just been tired of working hard on my relationships and blah lately. U just need aome spice in your life someone who will do something really special for u bc when u have to do all the work for relationships and never get much in return u get tired of it and get blah and quit caring

    You are not bad you might have got bad things and behavior at you in the past. You are in a way drowning it out. Thats all you can do and you do not need people who want to hurt you since you deserve better.

    I guess you stop caring the way you do because you may not truly value them as much or care for them as much. I say what i do because, a few months ago i pretty much ceased contact with a very very old friend of mine because she did something awful and because she didn't really play a big or crucial part of my life. The same could be said about a guy i liked and we decided to see each other but ended it and i didnt feel nothing.

    So all i can stem it too is not really having a deep bonding connection and feeling with them so don't worry about it.

    I find that I am like this as well for some reason. I have to remind myself to ask the polite questions of "how are you?", "how is your son doing", "how are your folks" yada yada blah blah blah.

    I dont think its normal to be like this, though I am like it.
