I Don't Feel Anything. (7)

1 Name: Aryandiani : 2016-10-22 14:51 ID:+FAtY2o5 [Del]

I feel empty inside. It's as if I have no emotions, or don't really seem to care about other people. If someone is really sad, I don't feel the need to help them, if someone dies, I don't feel anything. No emotion. Just. Nothing. I don't understand it. Is it depression, or something else? If it is depression I don't know what I have to feel depressed about. I just... I don't care. Last month my grandmother died, and I didn't care. I wasn't sad, nor happy. Just.... Nothing. I feel as though something is wrong with me-- like somethings missing. But, I don't know how other people feel. Is, this normal for people, to feel nothing?

I think is normal to feel like that. I am the same way.

I'm the same, i can feel excitable/ and curiosity, but in small amounts, and negative emotions like anger and depression, but around 95% of my waking existence is nothingness as i try to distract myself from my turgid existence. It's gotten to the point where i'm willing to do anything to distract myself from the emptiness.
-Concerning death: i feel nothing, i don't love (as far as i know) and i don't really care if something lives or dies, i just prefer if it stays alive as it makes my life more interesting.
Feeling nothingness is a form of depression, as it is a depression of your emotions, 'dulling' them as it were. for me, it's brain structure, so it's difficult to treat, but for you if it's chemical imbalance, may i suggest light exercise and a healthier diet?
I'll be honest, i've just found it easier to pretend to have 'normal' emotional reactions to stimuli rather than explaining it to people or having them think of me as a dick.

>>1 How extreme would you say this is? Does this include friends as well? If that's the case then I feel like I should clarify something here. There's a difference between not caring about anyone, and not knowing anyone who you can care about. Light shines brighter in darkness, so maybe your way of approaching this is that someone close to you will mean so much more to you when everyone else is far away.
It reminded me of the anime Nabari, hence my name, but I'm probably looking at this wrong.

Sounds like a mental or neurological problem. Im personally no expert in this, but this type of thing isnt unheard of. Would be worth getting looked at by a professional. So long youre not doing anything bad I see no urgent cause for concern though.

I know what you're going through, I'm having the same problem, for me, it started when my closest friend that I've known for years hurt me too much. Since then I haven't felt anything for anyone, not even for myself, in fact, the only time I've cried is when watching anime because that's the only time I feel emotions. I think it's my way of coping with what my friend did. Think about when did it start, maybe you had a similar situation with someone important to you and it's your way of dealing with it? But in the end I think it's pretty normal to feel like that. I believe that your feelings will show when it's the right, there's nothing wrong with you :) in some ways it's even better like this because nothing ruins your days, i'd say enjoy it.

Feeling of emptiness and dpression is something but unable to feel anything when someone dies is okay I think it makes you strong. I once also wandered how I would feel if someone close to me died how would have I felt, i imagined myself feeling nothing but I new I still cared, I got frustrated but a fucking tv show having the same problem appeared at tv someone saying its alright your still human even if you felt nothing the grief you feel is still human and you caring about it is still pretty humane, you have nothing to fear and the guy I think a girl cried but it was really very long ago so I dont know what he really said specifically
