The way you act in the outside world is a reflection of your inner-self. It seems, to me, that you are having a confidence issue. And holy crap, haven't we all! Do you take time at night to reflect on yourself? And if you do, are you happy with yourself? Remember, nobody can trust you if you can't trust yourself.

Let your emotions out into the world man, if they are positive and have good intentions they should return even more intense!

Maybe you can't help people that are upset because you haven't figured out how to help yourself when you are upset. And that is OK, unless you aren't trying to. YOU need to know that everything will be OK for you to genuinely tell someone that it will be.

Let people know who you are! If they like you, you will like them to! If they don't like you, their loss! They can go **** themselves, right?

Chin up!

You should try focusing that anger and only get mad at the right people for the right reasons. What brings a smile to your face? Im sure you feel different emotions but if your having a hard time conveying them just remember life is too short to care about what other people think. Scream shout cry laugh...let it out....

Its kind of hard for me to comment on this post because dont know if you were always this way or if something or someone helped to make u like this?

This is really good advice!

Sounds like you suffer from dissociation. Usually caused by emotional trauma. There are most likely emotional parts of you frozen in time and your brain has given you a coping mechanism to keep you from experiencing the continuous pain that you have never recovered from. I would seek help if I were you if you would like to be free from it. You sound like a classic case, but it takes a lot of courage to go through the healing process of it because it means experiencing the hurt all over again, but then, letting it go instead of suppressing it which is what many people do without even knowing it.

Give it a go. Honestly, a fresh start helps. I mean a REAL fresh start. For me it took the cessation of regular medication that interfered with emotions, and even that didn't quite do it, even coupled with therapy. It literally took an awful event that crashed right through the wall that sorta stood between reality and myself to get me to start feeling things. And let me tell you- what happened was so awful I cracked and fell apart a lot of times before I pulled myself together almost a year later. Would not suggest it as treatment to your mental ailment. Therapy helps, but a fresh start really helps the most.

i think you have assburgers

You might be a psychopath.

i have the same problem and i have children and i love tem so Much but cantseem to show the careing and loving side of me to them or my husband for that matter. i love them and would die for them...but i cant show the normal emotions.
outside and inside of the home i am fun..i joke around alot. and have plenty of friends. i dont think that has anything to do with my problem (allthelonelypeople)
i do recognize the problema nd force it at times but nothing comes naturally.

my advice tho...try to work on it...try to observe others and thier acions with emotion and slowly put it in to your life. force it. (thats what i do) and when i notice i make others happy..it makes me happy. just dont forget cause if your all forcing the emotion one day and not the next. people might think your crazy. lol
i think we all have some crazy in us...i know i do! lol
