The way my brain works is different than most people. I don't know how to explain it, but I'd like people to understand that if I give an essay like response it's not to be mean or bring you down. I don't value emotion, again my brain works differently than most of you. I value logic, resu lts, facts. So please don't take anything I say as offensive or rude, it's my fault for being different. I've never really had any friends because of this, always shunned or mocked. Because of that I don't like people that much, it's part of why I'm a shut-in. I just don't understand how it can be to make a decision based off emotion rather than pure logic. If you have any questions please let me know.

With your pure, superior logic you should have been able to calculate that nobody cares.

Never once did I say it was superior. My point was emotions are hard to understand. See, like your reply makes no sense. If you don't care why respond? If you're not nice why respond? I don't understand. I mostly made the OP so people would understand me a bit better, but it's your choice to read it or not. Beside isn't where Personal is where people go for personal issues? I wrote my thread in the proper place so again if you don't have something nice to say don't respond.

I used to think very similarly; I was convinced that emotions were inconvenient and illogical. However, my opinion now has evolved. Emotions and logic are not mutually exclusive concepts. Emotions are a natural response of the brain, and they have their own internal logic that's important to understand in order to communicate effectively with others and navigate through life. Success in careers and relationships often depend upon people's emotional intelligence, so the most logical choice is to hone that skillset. It might be difficult to understand because it doesn't allign with your own personal logic, but that doesn't necessarily mean other people are wrong. Effort is required to understand others and to communicate effectively so that you are understood yourself. Good habits I'd recommend picking up are active listening, asking questions about other peoples' perspective, and refraining from any judgemental statements. You can also practice being aware of your own emotions; this expands your ability to extend empathy towards others. Your perspective is valuable, and I hope you learn to value and connect with the perspectives of your peers. Patience and an open mind are key!

>>3 It's all good to reply, but keep in mind that most people here might not check back. I'd recommend after 1 month since the OP and if the OP hasn't replied back since then that it means the thread is dead and best to be left alone.

Also personally I literally can't feel empathy. It's a disorder so no matter how patient I am empathy will always allude me, logic is my only way of keeping sane.

>>5 Nah, you won't know if they came to check back yet never replied. So it's better to just give them something to read when they come back, whenever that is. Its a slow chatboard afterall.

I'm talking to the person who sent the first message don't change anything if you're like this just wait for someone or something special to come into your life and make you realize something naturally something hidden inside you don't try not to be who you are not, you risk getting stuck in a psychological situation that suits those around you but which will leave you with a feeling of non-existence. I myself am still waiting.
