Unemotional

I am very unemotional. I hardly ever cry, I don't really get angry, I never get ecstatically happy, and I have a really hard time telling people how I'm feeling. A lot of my friends have no problem telling me their affairs of the heart or mind, but I have trouble sympathizing and I just can't see how people can so freely tell people what they feel. I don't regret the way I am - I just feel bad for people that have to deal with me.

    I like your comment. I used to be an extremely emotional person, and then after I figured some things out and grew up, my emotions settled down into a much smaller spectrum. I don't get irritated at others telling me their emotions (I am extremely patient), but rather I know all the right things to say to validate them and make them feel better so that we can talk about something else and still be great friends.

    Less emotions and more logic can be a good thing, in balance.

    You feel bad. You feel emotions. So follow my steps.
    Did something bad happen doe? That might be a reason.
    I also don't feel sad or angry or happy or anything. Just Blank. Until, I found this therapy. I kinda created it.
    1. Imagine a person. Yeah like the air friend.
    2. Two try falling in love with them.
    3. Ta-da! Emotions are back!
    You could use a pillow or something to be that friend.

    I hate emotional people, they always make a mountain out of a molehill. We should all be more like mr Spock from star trek, there was someone who was easy on the nerves.

  • did something happen to you? I am the same way but I didn't always be. I jumped off the 2nd floor in general population in jail and landed right on my head on cement. I woke up in a real hospital with this thing going down into my lungs and my head shaved. I have a wicked scar from it (my brain swelled up so they temporary removed part of my scull but it was back in place when I woke up and they said it was a miracle I survived without paralazation. I think it's cuz my body only weighs 135 pounds but I had much much more emotion before this, I don't really seem to care about anything now

  • I am just like you! I'm very rational, I don't get worked up over little things, but now my rationality has been making me into a robot. I don't really care about anything, it seems like nothing really needs to be cared about. I sometimes get happy, and sad, along with the other emotions, but i'm never too emotional about anything. My friend just told me that it's not normal and that I should see a counselor, perhaps you should as well?

      I'm exactly the same way. Nearly everyone except my best friend hates the way I'm that way. Few things can get me crazy excited. Most of the time I give an, "Oh," or, "That's cool," response. I don't really ever know what to feel.

    It is perfectly normal not to talk about your feelings so openly. thats just how some people are. If you are depressed or dealing with your feelings in an unhealthy way, however, such as cutting yourself or something like that, then it can become a problem and you should seek help so just be careful. As for the people that have to deal with you, just explain that your not really good at talking about feeling and you really don't like to and they should respect that.

    is it possible you are depressed, you have numbed your feelings. I only say that response to the fact that you feel guilt over your inability to express yourself so essentially you do feel, and you have a conscience which is always promising! It can be easy to think its easier not to feel and subconsciously you will begin to act that way, but in the long run you will find that you isolate and alienate yourself, you feel different to others, and this just exaggerates everything equating to a deeper depression and becoming more introverted!, so i would try and talk to someone close, like a parent about it, and work out why you aren't indulging in feeling (as with your guilt you clearly have the ability to do so). Are there things that overwhelm you? Things you find difficult to comprehend/understand etc..., and of course doctors and therapy can follow if that doesn't help :)
