I Have No Feelings Sometimes
59% Normal
10 Comments

Sometimes I find myself feeling empty. It's not a feeling of sadness, depression or lonliness but rather the absence of feeling all-together. It happens a lot and I'm curious if anyone else gets this way.

Also, when something particularly sad or tragic happens I can't share the feelings of others. I try to act sad or upset, and I do a pretty good job, but I could actually care less, even when the event is horrible and SHOULD cause at least SOME reaction in me. I have no sense of sympathy or empathy half the time and the other half I am HYPERsenstive to emotions, to the point where I can look at someone and tell that they're sad, and because of this I get wrapped up in this pointless sadness myself, almost so much that it hurts.

Is this normal? Do I need a psychiatrist or something?
Do you think it's normal?

That is strange i must say. But i guess its a good thing in a way. Sensitive people tend to crack under presure or when something hectic happens. You my friend are cursed and blessed at the same time. Maybe its your childhood that brought this on.

But if you feel you need help then get it. Cant hurt you
You are probably better off.
It seems you may have sociopathic tendencies. I'd seek professional help if I were you.
I get the same way...
I fell exactly the same way. It fells empty. People tell me its some kind of fase I must go through. I had an important breackup last year and the past couple of years before I`ve was on medication. I hoping this ends. It`s far from being a blessing.
I feel like that a lot also. It's like nothing really seems to matter, nothing makes you upset but then again nothing really makes you happy. Depression medicines help a lot with that, or at least they help for me.
some people are more intellectually-oriented, like myself, than emotionally stimulated. I don't think it makes you weird, it's just one of those things. There's 1000s of different personality types out there. Ha, my boyfriend often gets upset with me because I like to make sarcastic jokes alot and I laugh all the way through horror movies. It's just me :)
It's like you just descibed the story of my life, its probably strange but don't worry if there's two of us like this im sure that there are more
That happened to me once - My mom died and for three months I had no emotions what-so-ever. Then I got a step mom and kinda came to at my dad's wedding.
yeah im similar its not as abnormal as u think ,a therapist would be a good idea and helpful
