Am I dead inside?
70% Normal

I haven't been attracted to anyone in agggggges, not since my last relationship who was the first person I fell in love with, not that I want to be single OR in a relationship I just feel nothing for anyone. When I get chatted up I just smile politely and decline. Am I dead inside or can I just put it down to a phase that will pass in time? Anyone else feel this way?
Do you think it's normal?

No, and there is no such thing as love...
This is normal. You're not dead inside. I know how you feel as I went through a phase like this. I wanted nothing to do with anyone at all. Maybe you should try being friends with someone first before you date them.
dead inside? lol wtf no.
Sounds like there's a very large part of you that just doesn't want to be bothered at the moment. I've always found that sort of attraction to be a knee-jerk reaction kind of thing, which means that it happens at the level of your gut rather than your intellect, so I'm not sure that this is something that you can think your way out of.

For whatever reason, your guts -- or your heart -- don't/doesn't want to get involved right now. When it feels like joining up with your brain, maybe you'll have a chance at feeling attracted to someone again. But for now, look upon this lack of feeling as a protective mechanism and ask yourself why the numbness seems to be on automatic pilot. The answer may surprise you.

Actually, he really is mentally dead. He should try to get brain-dead so that he can donate his fresh organs to those who need it.
Your love sick, go Enjoy yourself while your still in the pink, beacuse the years go by quicker than you can think, as quickly as you wink

SKYWALKER MUST BE DESTROYED
ido feel the same way same thing happened to me some months ago :( she was the first girl i ever loved she abandoned me with out telling me she was leaving me or why
I feel like that too ever since my ex left me she was my 1st gf also she abandoned me after i found out she was dating naother guy she abandoned me with out telling me she was leaving or why :(
Define ages? Depending on the time it could most certainly be a phase.
i understand you need to get your mind off your ex and let it go or you will lose more time that you could be happy.Life is very unfair its not easy to deal with all the pressure and confusion i wish you luck and i suggest you work on yourself get your heart back its better to have love and lost then not to have loved at all...
I feel the same way exactly actually.
I think it is normal.
that feeling is normal specially when you really love and fall in love with that person that you feel that you can't live without her.. you know what i felt that too.. and i know how you feel.. but inspite of what happened stand up and try to move on..
I've never been in love, but I think I know where you're coming from. Sometimes you just want to want love, if that makes sense.

I would suggest you work on the relationships you have with your friends and family. If you're like me and prefer no friends, focus on school or your career. If it's meant to be, you will find love, and probably when you least expect it.

Believe it or not, everyone except for a lucky few feel as if they are just going through the motions. Almost every smile is fake. If you continue to feel like this, and begin to have thoughts of suicide or feelings of worthlessness, get help. You'd be suprised how many people are on antidepressants. It's normal, humans just aren't capable of constant happiness... sometimes the only thing you can do is run on auto-pilot.

Hope I helped...
Yeah I don't think you're adnormal.
You just went through something difficult and you need time. You will pull through, no matter how you feel at this current time.
I split up with my girlfriend about 14 months ago, and just haven't been bothered at all ever since to do anything with people. I still think people are pretty attractive but can't be arsed to try it on with girls. Until the other day, met this girl and now I am obsessed with her.

It is just a phase, finding the right person helps it go away though!
Its normal but that it is disturbing you about how long this "feel nothing" phase has been going on means maybe you need to look at it more. Is it a defensive cocoon? Are there health issues? Depression?
Depressing...
It's normal ;/ try talking to other ppl
