Question: I don't have feelings, emotions!. What do I do!?
Ok, so basically I don't have feelings!. I do sense it is impossible to have non, but I have the minimal amount possible!. And that percentage isn't really much!. I know this is not right!. But I'm not sure what to do!. I think I subconsciously did this to myself over time!. Do I try to find my emotions!? Do I just let nature run its course!. Maybe I will get all my emotions back one day in twenty years or something!? Am I supposed to wait!. I actually half like this emotionless state!. I think it is so beneficial not having to feel pain, sadness even if I am also without joy!. I think I am supposed to learn from this, yet I don't see the point!. Emotions are a main part of life so what can I do without them!? Is it ok to live without them or is it just selfish!? Am I wasting a life!? In a way, I understand that I would commit suicide from lack of emotions compared to most peoples from too much emotion!. BUT I am NOT going to commit suicide!. I would never do something like that!. Is there any way I can help for the better!? I am really confused!. I have talked to a psychiatrist who wasn't able to help!. My mom will not take me to see someone else!. So basically where am I at from here!? Thank you for your time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I can sympathize!. I was that way a majority of my life!. I lost a few boyfriends because I just wasn't interested in talking about emotions!. They didn't understand that I just don't care, I don't feel anyway about anything!. I'm still like this to a certain degree, but I've found causes I can believe in and it has helped me a lot!. I want to work to end inequality, racism, and many social problems!. I just found certain things to work on and out of that I developed feelings of sadness, anger, etc at how people are being treated!. So maybe if you can find something like this it will help!. I KNOW it sounds corny and you won't want to do it, but volunteer for something, help at a nursing home, research some things that are going on in the world!. That made me a more emotional person and that's how I "learned" to have emotions!.

It's also a good idea to figure out what caused this!. I grew completely numb after 2 years of nothing but absolute heartbreak after heartbreak!. I just stopped caring about anything!. I thought it would make me stronger!. It's good to have strength but also be in control of your emotions!.!.!. hope my ramblings helped :) Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well, if you are not just trying to boast about having no emotion then I would suggest trying to trace your life back to a moment, or series of them, which probably caused blank emotional state!. Don't get me wrong, I am no psychiatrist, but I would also suggest trying to find some stimulation from books or music!. Try to be perceptive and think what the person was writing or singing about!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You may have some degree of autism!. It's a very wide spectrum!. I'm wondering if the lack of emotion is towards other people or just yourself!. My suggestion would be to read up on autism since you have the world wide web at your fingertips!. More importantly you should go back and speak with a psychologist not a psychiatrist (their answer to everything is put the person on medication)!. Try to find a psychologist or social worker or an expert who specializes in Behaviorism!. Good luck to you!. :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Your lack of emotions is sad!. If feel bad for you because you can't obviously FEEL bad for yourself!. I do think you have emotions that you don't realize you have or else you wouldn't be writing in concern for yourself!. Stop trying to FEEl your emotions and let life happen!. Ask yourself these questions: Do I feel for other people !? Would it bother me if I ran over someones pet!? Do I deliberately hurt other people and feel no remorse for it!? If you answer yes to any of these questions you may need to seek out some help- good luck!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
