I have always thought of myself as emotionally detached from everything. For 5 years all I could feel was depression, anger, and hate. Now all of a sudden I care so deeply about everything. I made a girl cry not long ago, by saying something I didn't even think as bad, and it hurt me so much that I nearly went into tears, I didn't because I'm a guy and I havn't cried in ages. When I saw a homeless man I was so upset thinking about the sheer numbers of homeless people, I want to help them so much but I know that I can't help them much. I can now barely watch the news because of all the deaths make me feel so bad.
Is this normal?????? I used to be so emotionally detached, if this is normal then it just hit me so suddenly that I had no clue what was going on. Last year I couldn't give a sh*t about anything, now the emotions are over-powering me.
Im a guy too, we are not meant to have much emotions.

Kind of ironic, how you say you dont have feelings cuz they are gay, dont you think?
@PooLTOY
Kick some ass, pound some cunt, both good options.
If you think you are never going to cry or feel sympathy or guilt as a grown man then you are stupid, every sane human being male or female has moments in their life where they experience loss and grief, or other hard and troubling times in there life. You are not protected from pain just because you have a dick.
Regardless of which one of these things it is, what you should do is act upon these feelings and begin to work (as much as you can in your free time) to alleviate these conditions in the world. That will be a path in your life that could bring great benefit to you and others. Good luck and I hope you act on your impulses
I want to help people, I guess if I turn someones life around then it will make it seem like my life is worth something.
its not about god choosing you. you are chosen to perform good works when and if YOU make that choice. for many, this is not even possible because quite frankly they dont give enough of a shit about anything.
your caring is a gift to you, if you use it to create meaning and fulfillment in your life.
If you didn't you'd eather be InHuman OR Dead..
UNDERSTAND
It's normal to have feelings. I'd be more afraid that I didn't have feelings.
If the feelings become to overwhealming just do a few little things.
Money's tight in the economy, I know. But maybe whatever change you have lying around could go to the salvation army or the red cross, or to the kid selling lemonade around the corner because he's saving up for a new bike.
If you have any old clothes that you don't one. Donate it. I'm sure someone out there would be grateful for it.
Hell, if you have any books you don't want, there are some organization that will take your donated books and will deliver them to children in third world countries. (exclude porn and dirty mag. please :D)
These are just little things, but for the person you're helping it means a lot.
It'll make you feel good too. :)
ps. tell your brother to stretch out his muscles before he does yoga so he doesn't sprain anything. I made that mistake once and couldn't walk straight for three days.
I'm sorry that you were mocked for your race, and about your mum.
My bro does stretch his muscles, but he still says its impossible.
"Im a guy too, we are not meant to have much emotions. "
Good one, but true, look at chimps, there males hold most emotions back at all times.
But your problem? Hmm, I've had it, I lost it, not sure how, sorry.
*palm-to-face*
Just do not kill yourself. You will be fine. There is so much more going on around you than to be sad. If you want to help them, crying isn't gonna accomplish anything. Or are you just feeling sorry for yourself? If you wanted to do something, you would.
Do you ever feel like maybe you're a martyr or rather you need to be one. Let bad things happen to you and take on others problems so that maybe they can be happy? Also, do you ever have a sense of arrogance in thinking that you understand the world more than others and therefore "forgive" them for making mistakes, or even conscious choices to do bad things?
Maybe I'm just weird as hell, (which I admittedly secretly am) but just know that it would mean a great deal to me if you or anyone for that matter honestly responded to this.
Well I don't need to be a martyr but I deserve to be one.
Well sometimes I don't forgive them for making mistakes I just get annoyed at them, though I try not to show it...unless I'm online.
Ignore the shallow and sarcastic responses from the immature boys here. You are growing up to be a fine young man.
One woman has even said I saved her life...twice, by talking to her and being really kind to her on MSN, and I've only been talking to her for about a week.
I am kind of scared right now though because she said I was the person that stopped her from committing suicide on 2 separate occasions in about a week, and now I am leaving for 10 days and so if she gets suicidal again I won't be there to talk her out of it, and so I am just so fucking scared right now.
also sometimes in the right state of mind your brain won't filter your detections of people around you so you feel what they do uncontrolably
but once you realise this you can master it.
its normal to have empathy but you can't let those emotions run your life
