No emotion (Page 2)

this is how CASEY ANTHONY is now... I just came here to find exactly WHY she appeared non-emotional... now I know her truth... she suffered too much from her life, pretending all was ok...
am I wrong?

heyy everyone m a guy 19 yrs old.....till now i always thought that it was just my nature to be emotionless....but now after watching all the people around me over the years it concerns me when i dont feel any emotion at all....
my parents were always loving and supportive in every way....but still i never found any connection with any person in my life....i have really nice friends but i never really felt anything....its now bothering me that maybe something is wrong....how is it possible that i never found even a single person in 19 yrs of my life who i felt would understand me!!!...now...even though i'm always with my friends i don't feel anything...no love, no regret, no happiness, nothing....and from the past couple of years i've been faking my feelings to everyone...(trying to stay happy for everyone even when i dont know what it is)!!!....need some advise!!

hi, a famous Poet Henry David Thoreau said - Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song.

do u want a peaceful life like u have?

count your blessings and enjoy life while u can

good luck to u

My boyfriend is emotionless too. He changes our plans at the last minute and expects me to be ok with it. I get upset say things, then he turns it around and blames me for getting mad he acts like all is fine. But if I change plans he will come out and say no, no and no. Then i stay put! We've been together for two years and are actually old boyfriend and girlfreind reunited. He says he loves me etc, but his emotions just totally lose me all the time. Am I expecting to much, am I the problem, do I get upset for no reason. But some on, if you have plans and make arrangements to be together and one says oh second thought we will not be doing as planned I am going elsewhere come on now! And then act like nothing! What do I do?

what medications are you guys on that feel this? Often times anti-depressants baseline your emotional states, turning you into a zombie more or less. Get off the meds and let your brain re-calibrate itself.

Common guys feelings is the only thing that defines us as humans and if we dont feel anything we are not humans anymore have you realized that we ( no emotions people ) cant and wont experience any godam feeling at all is it because we dont feel we cant realize that ...............It seems like our lives is only about eAting and sleeping now ohh and going to bathroom

having no feelings sucks and is very scary

I feel the same iv had no friends for the last 3-4 years and ever since then iv never really felt anything. When my dog was hit by a car I buried her in the back yard and then carried on with what I was doing. I never really took the time to feel sad for her. Also some times when I accidentally cut myself when I'm at work my arm will be gushing and I'll act like It doesn't bother me or like I'm just ignoring it.

Hi, I'm just a normal 15 year old kid in London, UK. And i also feel a somewhat similar feeling to you, like i feel no sadness, no remorse, no worrying but i also do not feel depression or happiness, i often feel anger and rage and i often feel alone. however, i do not think it is a curse but i take pride in it, it makes me feel different, i can make decisions based on reason and logic and unclouded by emotion, also, it makes me a pretty good actor as i have to pretend to have feelings, put on a show for the people around me

I was thinking about the acting thing too

This happens to me too, Im only 13, I can't remember when it started, but then again I could have forgotten. I have heard THIS is a cause for bad memory as well... I haven't told anybody, no family... I do not care for them, not pity love sorrow... gratitude? Nothing. Im like a shell that reacts physically. Its weird ain't it not?

It is not unusual to pass through emotional voids at times, and particularly not when we have faced upset ahd hurt. Emotions have a way of regulating themselves and sometimes they need a break for a time. The vast majority of people have very normal emotional capacity, just a lack of ability to regulate those emotions.

It is only a tiny majority of people who genuinely lack the ability to feel things in any kind of regular way and those would tend to be sociopaths.

I'm not a sociopath and yet I've had extremes of emotional state from over emotional to emotionally vacant. I've had people that were hugely influential in my life die and I've not grieved at all. That's happened more than once. On the flip side I've felt disproportionately emotional at quite trivial things. I've shifted between the two over a number of years.

You can't make any assessment on the basis of short term analysis, that's for sure. If you've felt nothing for 10 years or more then it would be concerning. However, that would incorporate a lack of anger, a lack of sorrow, a lack of joy, a lack of ALL emotion. If you feel one extreme then you are invariably capable of feeling the other extreme.

Growing up I was the kid without friends, who picked fights for no reason. Eventually I became passive due to medication, but through being bullied in middle school I just began to shut down. As freshman year went by I can remember how terrified I was to feel emotions like love, happiness, and motivation fading away. As high school years flew by I became more an more terrified of what was happening. It came to the point at junior year my friend died yet all I could feel think about was when it would be over. I don't know whats wrong with me. The only reason i'm writing this is because I know I need to fix this so I can make friends and start having the life this "curse" stripped from me.

i feel the same way i just dont care about myself or anyone anymore i wish i could disapear forever i cant hadle killing myself because i know how my parents would fel i cant put them through that i need help to be able to feel something

i can relate to not having emotions as well, sometimes you see that others are so happy and feel like something is wrong with you. I struggled with living too, and i didnt want to put my parents of family through it either. But a place of peace does exist. You may not believe in God or care for any religion, but The Word of God is the only thing that i find peace in. God sent his only son Jesus Christ to die to save me from my sins but not for me only the whole world. John 3:16 king james version. All we have to do is confess we are sinners and ask Christ into our hearts. Romans 10:9 KJV. God truly loves us if no one in the whole world did. Once you accept Him; you recieve the peace that passeth understanding! I pray this will help you. I know it did me and still does.

Hey I know that feeling I talk to youngsters now to help them out a bit I went through depression still do and man I'll tell ya the amount of times I tried killing myself is more times then I've changed my socks. I went through a drunk father and a hooker for a mom to doing crack going through rehab one time I even put a gun to my head when I was 16 pulled the trigger and the bullet jammed and the feeling you have when you try and kill yourself and fail is100 time worse then how you felt before I mean you already feel like you can't do nothing right and then you even fail at that, it's ups and downs like no other. I'm 26 now still have deep scares from cuts burns anything I could do to make myself feel something else you know but when I was 22 I had a baby girl she was born with TGA it's a heart problem I Spent months sleeping in a chair beside her . The feeling I had when I had my daughter was like no feeling I ever had she was the reason to keep living even when I'm in a funk I think about that day and her smile and I couldn't see myself without her so what I'm trying to say is once you find that one thing to keep you Alive hold on to it and don't let go and if you don't have something like that to hold on to don't worry because you will your worth more then anything you could imagen look at it this way there a trillions of flowers billions of people but only one you that alone is more unique more beautiful then anything you can think of your life is worth living you just need to find that one thing that shows you how great you are. Stay up keep a smile on do your thing and you will make it trust me I still have depression I wake up everyday with the feeling like someone just died and that's why I can't cry at funerals but I see more clear now that I have that one thing to hold on to try a smile each day is a new day

First off we all started off with know emotions. As many many years passed we developed emotions. I was born with depression first time I tried killig myself I was nine years of age. Through years if being depressed, taking pills pretty much being a zombie I felt I would
Rather have emotions then feel nothing at all. I still have depression and there was many times I would go months not giving two shits about anything the way I look at it is I've been depressed for so long and so much that my mind and body no longer want to be depressed so the depression shuts off everything shuts off I become emotionless I do have emotions and if your worried about it that itself is an emotion so don't think your crazy or nuts your mind just dosnt want to feel anything anymore but that will change in time I myself still can't cry at a funeral at first I thought I was going nuts but I really looked at myself and said maybe it's just my body and mind saying it's tired of the emotions going up and down all the time it's time to stop the emotions and let them rest like I said I have emotions now that
Feeling wot last forever YOU ARE sane your emotions are just tired and want a rest from the rollercoaster we call life

I also have no emotions. I agree with others that I was also diagnosed with PTSD. I tried counseling and take medication for deep depression. I have had unusual things to deal with in the past but never felt empty. I would like to understand more about PTSD and why it does this to the brain. There is nothing unusual about you however, you should think back to what has been happening in your life lately, there may be an answer hiding. Have you suffered a trauma, vet, accident, lost someone you love, or do you feel down about something, try taking an inventory for the last two months and this may help guide you into help.

i have anxiety and possibly depression. I feel like i am empty by default and any instances of emotion are distractions fro that state. i can tell there are still feelings in there but they are like voices you can barely hear in static. some times i feel normal, but emotional pressure makes me shut off my feelings quickly. Because of this, i havent felt sad in a long time. i miss being able to be genuinely sad.

I feel the same way. Only that I cant even feel love, like my parents hug me and i don't feel the warmth and protection i used to feel. And well I used to feel so many beautiful emotions when I was with my boyfriend but now its like nothing either I don't feel anything so I broke up with him since its unfair for him and im not even sad!

I've been feeling like that (ironically) for as long as I can remember and I'm 15 now. In theory I should have a massive amount of hormones coursing, causing me to have mood swings, ect. but I don't. I don't feel love, hate, happiness, sadness. I just feel empty really; a casual indifference to everything. Like people here are saying; I don't feel anything. I don't think its bad that I don't, if anything its useful but I know it's not right. Is there a technical name for this? I came across Alexythemia (I think) but that is just the inability to express emotion. Anyone know?

I know you've gotten plenty of replies and such, but I wanted to try to put your mind at ease as best I can.

My name is Meg. I've been dating my best friend, Joshua, for almost six months now. It's hard because I too seem to suffer from lack of emotions. Sometimes I truly know I could never live without him while other times, I honestly don't seem to care if we broke up or not. It's like it doesn't matter, and it bothers me. I WANT to feel, but I just can't.

The truth is, not many people know it, but they suffer from extremely mild, almost unnoticable autism that can be caused by vaccinations if they're given under two years of age. The brain is not fully developed yet, so it's actually quite hazardous to do so. It doesn't have to be noticable, and many doctors will say you're fine, but it does take an effect on your ability to feel emotions. Most likely, you had a vaccination when you were young, and that's what caused it.

This is why I'm against vaccinations to children of two years old or younger. Many doctors will attempt to push it on the parent and threaten not to even give the child any treatment if they are not vaccinated, which is horribly wrong. Vaccinations aren't a solution, but are poison to your brain. No one wants you to know, of course, and that secret has even been hidden from doctors. I managed to find it on a site from a doctor. It was called the "Blaylock Wellness Report". He explains the connection between vaccinations and autism in a much better detailed way than here.

Don't worry, you're not evil, and you're not alone.

I hope this helped.

Thanks for sharing your experiences and starting the forum. I can tell you that I too experience lack of emotion. It was since my suicide attempt that I feel that way. Did emotions get disconnected, suppressed, or eliminated, not clear. It seems to me there are suppressed because very rarely I can feel anger, sadness, jealousy, happiness... happy times happen fast and other emotions last longer...Doing activities I enjoy helps. May be I can't feel them as I like to but I can tell in a way what resonates with me. Being on the beach, swimming, kayaking, yoga, spending time with family and friends, doing something scary, writing this post, working with other people...
It would be nice to meet one day someone who don't feel much like I do as it feel lonely sometimes. It looks like there are many people out there. Im sure at least to some extent emotions can be revived. May be if more people express their concern to a doctor or someone they care about it will give the issue voice and importance for to find a solution.
