<p>Hey guys, I need to ask you something. So alright I think I do not have any emotions. I mean, when something bad happens, like a suicide/death etc. I just shrug it off. I just don't care, Also, when something good happens, like I get a really high test score, I get somewhat happy, then I just shrug it off as if nothing happened. Sometimes, this can be good..as I am brave enough to do whatever I want..however, I just feel so left out, as I don't feel anything..how can I fix this, so that I DO have passions and desires, so that I can live my life?</p>
<p>I feel the same way. Especially with the death stuff. It makes me feel really guilty, but I don't know what to do about it. For now, I've just accepted it for what it is and moved on. Maybe you're just indifferent. Personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with that. You will find something that you care about. If not now(I'm assuming you're in hs), then in college.</p>
<p>you feel bad about not having emotions, therefore you feel the emotion we like to call guilt. See, you have emotions. Honestly don't worry about it, I am the opposite of you, in that I take things personally, get over-excited, get depressed, trust me, depression sucks.</p>
<p>If you feel bad or guilty about not having emotions you're feeling, maybe not as extreme as some people but you'll find something that you love and it may not be soon or even close to soon but when you find it, you'll know.</p>
<p>You definitely have emotion. The fact that you posted this thread shows that you are worried by the thought that you have no emotions. To worry is an emotion. Therefore, you are not emotionless.</p>
<p>Edit: bhockey555 kind of beat me to it.</p>
<p>I guess it's denial, a very effective coping mechanism. When it comes to something bad happening, of course. And it's perfectly fine that you get 'somewhat' happy when getting a high test score, cause it would be wierd if you got overexcited, you know. So you're fine:)</p>
<p>I feel like this, too. I really think that we are medically depressed. </p>
<p>Some people are depressed because their Dad died, friend committed suicide, or for other traumatic reasons. I think we are depressed for scientific/medical reasons. I plan to talk to a counselor/psychologist when I get to college. Hopefully I can get some anti-depressants or something for this.</p>
<p>I hate it when my parents get me a gift and I am unexcited. I hate it when I could care less if I fail my exam. I hate not wanting to hang out with friends. I hate not knowing if I would be sad if my family died. I hate living like this.</p>
<p>^ Hate is an emotion though...</p>
