Loss of emotion

i used to care about everyone i was friends with even people i wasnt close with, but last year i got severely hurt by someone i love. since then i have done everything to cut any emotional attachment to everyone, including my family who do care for me. i have find myself sleepin with girls for no reason other than i can, i have even slept with friends girlfriends with little to no guilt. i know i should feel awful and a while ago a wouldnt have dreamed of being like this but i just dont care about the effects what i do could have on anyone else. i doubt i could even be hurt by anyone except the person that hurt me and although she is basically out of my life now i have killed off all emotional attachment to everyone. i dont feel for anyone except her. i find myself acting out of character manipulating people and secretly self harming ( which i know is pathetic so i have never let anyone know that i do it). how to i get rid of this attachment which is making me like this and get back to the person i was?

    Once you find a girl that you REALLY like, your emotions will be restored

    I've had similar problems. First off the bat, ignore Trismegistus, he's a prick. I have a friend with several hefty emotional issues, and he's done much better since he's gotten help. Secondly, as long as you're not self-harming as an attempt at suicide, you're fine. I myself cut my arms for a year, but never around the wrist. I had a few family... incidents, a few deaths, a few near deaths, within a couple of years, and it messed with my head. My advice, talk to a friend, one who's gone through this sort of thing. If there isn't anyone, then, and I know that this sounds cliche, but read a bible. I don't know whether it'll help you, but when I was in a dark place with no one to pull me out, it really saved me.
    Take my advice, don't, whatever, but please try to help yourself.

    It's normal , but it's jst a stage, u cannot let it become a part of u. U want a connection w/ her, bt cuz u can't let's hav sum random connections that' ll numb the longing and thinking about how it was btwn u both... We all selfdestruct after we lose our direction and passion...Aknowledge the source of dis pain, and eliminate it, it won't b easy

    Yeah, being hurt certainly changes you, takes time and it does heal, although I think what you need is closure? something that can help you say right I'm over them, I feel like the adult here because they were so childish about it and why should I let what happend ruin my life?, you have to want to change aswell, I felt exactly like you, when I broke up with my ex I suffered for about 8 months to find a way to shut her out and I felt that talking to her again and argueing and telling her what she has done and how she has made me feel helped, it's never gunna be great until you find someone new and you're ready to be happy again

    I'll shut up now :), hope this helps..

    i'm going thorugh a simmilar phase, the fact that you wonder about the loss of attachment means that your real you is still in there, if not you wouldn't even worry about that stuff. Give yourself some time, you just need some good event in your life to regain optimism. Your friends will also understand it if you talk to them and tell them what you're going through. That's experience talking. Hope it's useful.
