There's a part of me missing, care to cheer me up? (11)

1 Name: suntober : 2015-09-28 10:33 ID:O17E5Bkw [Del]

^ Exactly that, I feel like a part of me is gone. I'm not depressed, in fact, I don't seem to have any emotions mainly. I don't know what sort of trauma I might've experienced or how this came about, it's all pretty recent. I don't get happy about things that would usually make me so, there isn't really any joy I'm getting out of the stuff I usually do. And I'm not bored, I can find quite a few things to do to keep me occupied.

I don't get angry when I should be, I don't get upset or sad, excitement, curiousity. What's even more interesting is the fact that I've become void of feeling sympathy or empathy, even for people close to me. I don't feel lonely, nothing. I'm a person currently acting out what should be 'human' but I can't get that experience anymore.I could explain the reason behind every single human behaviour but it is just this one that has gotten me lost, no explanation for this. That might be my problem, I seem to find a need for explanations in everything, emotions in moral definition are meant to be...unexplainable.

For now I've been asking people questions about this and they say a lack of vision can cause this? I get it to some extent. But now I've come to the theory that I do have vision, and that is a vision to learn things to the minute detail in my field, and that is anything to do with human behaviour.

I possibly, subconsciously gave up my emotions for something which is the power to stay truly open-minded. To be open-minded is not only to take in everything, it is to take everything in an accept it in various lights, the controversial topics of racism, stereotypes, physiognomy, graphology,etc. It seems difficult for other people to understand what I mean when I say I embrace and welcome stereotyping and to some extent even racism.

Anyway this is gone off topic. What I wanted to say is, despite gaining insight into a lot of things I'm better off going back to what I use to be even if it means being ignorant. Because imagine a human void of emotions, they exist but it just doesn't seem socially right. I don't know, challenge me, think of anything to get me back.

Ok well for starters, it sounds like a pre-depression thing. Rather than being sad about it you're just blocking out any emotion and feeling apathetic to life in general.

For the cheering up, it sometimes helps me out to think of things in funny ways like for example:
Look at your arms. Now at your hands. Now your fingers. Your fingers are tiny arm arms.

You're not missing anything, because nobody is complete to begin with. No human is completely emotionless, you are just keeping them inside. Everybody is different.
I spoke in a roundabout way on purpose, no hate plz.

Cheer you up? Bush did 9/11. Kappa.

>>1 Just wondering but would you class emotions as flaws? Like the reason they're such a natural thing for humans is because of how imperfect we are. Just a thought. But note that I'm not here to cheer you up, I'm more interested in your lack of emotions and open mindedness.
You're a deep thinker yeah? The way I see it is that if you know and have brought enough significance to certain ideas and factors your perceptions and natural way of thinking when it comes to normal life change dramatically. So would you say that you've thought of something that has made you no longer able to feel normal emotions?
Or did you come to the conclusion at all that in the long run/big picture this existence is insignificant? Thoughts can do strange things to you. To choose a path of complete open mindedness is dangerous and requires total commitment. And just to check, do you feel like you no longer have any purpose? You just feel empty and emotionless, with nothing meaning anything to you anymore?

It's strange really, I can't entirely figure out how your post works. I have a feeling you're on the fence about it though. You can't decide whether you want to take the path of someone truly open minded or if you'd rather live the simple life of a normal person. You seem to miss emotions, and it almost looks like you just happened to start this path without realising it. You can't unlearn things which is why ignorance is such a significant thing. I don't know how far along you are in your journey but I'd say that it might be too late to go back on the path you're following.
But who knows, you might figure something out that will get your emotions back. We don't know what we will learn in the future. Best of luck to you :)

>>8 you're very much on the dot. Emotions are to some extent flaws, but not all emotions equally. If you go deep enough, you'll see that they exist for the purpose of justice. It's a flaw that keeps us alive and others. It creates a society we can live in, or stay alive in.

If emotions didn't exist, taking care of someone, particularly a baby would be difficult. It's that motherly instinct, sympathy. A lot more common in females than males. It's the reason why most butchers are men and the dominant one in raising a child is generally the mother, being void of some emotions or having a lot of it.

And to put it simply, the possible reason for my drastic change would be that I've almost 'completed' the knowledge needed in this area. If I am angry it's too simple to deduce why and get myself back on the ground, or not be like that from the beginning. But even if someone is void of emotion, existence still has a purpose.

Yes I'm basically jumping off to the other side of the fence right now. It's a train of thought I can't stop anymore, but it'll stop somehow just not yet. When I was a younger people would tell me to stop thinking like this and I knew it was for the best. But people are genetically programmed to want to learn, some much more than others. It's dangerous to yearn for open-mindedness. You're right no matter how knowledgeable I become I'll always remember that ignorance is bliss in some cases.

But the best I can do to ease this amount of knowledge is teach it to someone else, if they're willing to learn...it could continue the cycle though.

You didn't cheer me up but thanks for the luck. More insight however!
