It personally feels like there are two different people, an emotional void, and an overflow, and they're tied by like a string, but they can sense each other, no matter how far or closed off they are.
On bad days I cannot cry, my body turns to person A, the logical, my autopilot, and then I feel perfectly fine instantaneously, but somewhere in the distance, I feel someone dying inside, and the more I acknowledge the pain, that I don't relate with, I hear them scream and cry louder, not just because they feel worse but because they are pulling on the string, trying to find the way back to me, cut to a few days, weeks, months, years(yes years)later, they find me, I didn't care they'd say, I'd never searched for them, never tried to comfort them, and now I'd feel what they had, all these years and I try to go on auto pilot but the damn thing short circuits because of my tears, and my emotions jumble, I'm maniacally laugh through tears, an impending feeling clawing at my skin, cold and confused, in a great untime, like I'm viewing someone else's dumpster fire psyche deteriorate, I am scared to turn off auto pilot now, not just because I don't completely know how but because I am scared that there won't be much left of the real me

Mr.
I dont know what my problem is. i haven't had a real emotional response to anything in my life since i was 12. I didn't know how to talk to anyone in my family about it and learned how to fake them. nobody in my family had seemed to notice anything until my brother took me for a drive and confronted me about it because I didn't react at all when he told me our father killed himself in February 2022. i didn't know how to explain anything so i just told him i was fine. I would get a psychologist or even just therapy but I cant afford to pay for prolonged sessions or medication. can anyone point me in the right direction as to what this could be. I didn't have a toxic home environment outside of my parents being separated, but they got along well enough when myself or my siblings were around, we weren't harmed physically and i don't recall any mental abuse so i don't know what could've caused this.

My great-grandma who helped raise me since I was a baby passed almost a year ago, and my great-uncle who I was close with and spent a lot of time with died early this morning.
Nothing. I feel nothing. And everything. But the nothing covers everything up. I start to realize they're gone forever and my head just hurts and I feel tears coming on and then I think I'll just see them later, grandma's just on a trip, I'll see her after a bit, and oh, my uncle's still in his bed at his house a hundred miles away, I'll see him again when we go to visit. I'm stuck in my childish ignorance, a fantasy world. I'm supposed to be an adult since a couple months ago. When do I start feeling like one.

Well at an art exam. Like 2 to 1 hrs before time was over i suddenly felt no pressure on anything to speed up my work. I had done next to nothing but i was just accepting it. I didn't care about anything anymore. The art exam was before the national exams so that was smth. Did go well. But i didn't care about it. Love became forein to me ( i have a crush but the caring thing kinda you know, affection greatly depleted, i used to be able to bring a fire into me by just thinking about people who make fun of me, but i dont feel anger in the slightest. No hate or love. Just neutral. Thx for reading and wasting ur time. GL with ur life.

Im Emotionless, I cant think sometimes my mind just goes blank, Sometimes when im happy i forget the reason i was happy, I dont smile at all from my heart, When i talk with people i just put a fake smile on my face, I just dont know whats going with my life, I have big life goals, but at the same time i feel too empty and blank inside, I feel like something is missing, And also i dont remember some memories from my childhood like my memories are fading away slowly, I wasnt always like this, I always feel tired and not feeling like living like you dont feel like existing anymore. Can anyone help me and explain whats wrong with me?

Im laying in bed thinking, my robotics team did really good, we made states, we scored a lot, everyone is happy, but I feel. nothing? I watched as my teammate jumped for joy and yet I could barely bring anything except yeah pretty cool I figured it was because it interfered with other stuff I was kinda exited for, but then I realized that theres a lot of stuff that I just have very little emotion to. then that 1st issue hit pretty hard, I have almost no goal in life, idk what I want to do. Luckily Im not completely numb yet, but how do I keep from losing all feelings?

when i want to cry it does not come out like something is blocking the emotion away from but mostly i get used to how my parents treat me and how they treat each other, one time when i was a kid when i was seeing my father abusing my mother of verbal and just abuse fighting each other and i dont know the reason was but then at the time when i was a kid i felt myself numb into it because before the fight i remember my father keeps on yelling at me within words that i didn't like and i had a very soft heart as a young boy but obviously it was ruined by him.

In the past few years, I've went through multiple traumatic events involving my entire family. Not to mention, I'm a young teen. I now understand why I've felt numb for the past 3 years, which interesting enough, is when this video came out.
I just want to feel happiness again. I only got diagnosed mentally a few months ago, but nothing really benefitted from it besides that. I've needed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but it's not widely available in my area.
I still hope, that someday, I will finally overcome all if this.

I'm in therapy to hopefully heal from abuse, all im feeling is anger and it feels wrong. I was never shown how to express anger in a positive way. In fact I was beaten for being angry. I can remember screaming in frustration after being bullied. My mother's way to deal with it was to either beat me, slap me across the face or throw cold water over me. My therapist has said when talking about my abuse, I don't show any emotion. I can't see any point in showing emotion, it's not going to change anything

I used to be in yalls shoes until my mom kept nagging me to pray for years and I didnt but that one time i was like i tried everything so why not try god. It felt amazing i was able to cry after years of being so empty. I felt alive again. I felt like my mind became organized. Guys even if you dont care about god or think its a placebo you cant deny that it feels amazing to know that someone out there is looking after you. Someone you can complain to and rely on.

I dont know when or how it started. But i have live with this kind of feeling for so long, about 10yrs or even more(im just 16 now. I cant even cry no matter how hard i tried. Sometimes i can feel the pain, or sadness. I cant cry, so i was harming myself at that time. It actually makes me feel better. Eventualy, i harmed my self so much that now my arms is full of scars that i cant go outside without hiding it. Is this okay?

I dont feel like mourning my mother anymore. My mother died last week, 2 days after that I don't feel like mourning anymore. I assure you, my mom was the sweetest mom and the most caring mother you could ever have. She was very supportive and because of her I did not learn how to cook and wash my own clothes (I'm already a junior highschool. All I feel is a negative and a missing-piece- feeling.

I just got scammed out of $400. I sold my phone to a scammer. That money is the only thing that can help me because I lost my job recently. I don't know if it has not sunk in yet but I want to cry it out and let my emotions out. I just can't. I don't even care what will happen to me. All my debts that I need to pay. Right now I am just feeling numb.

Every obstacle Ive faced in my life Ive overcome it. Ive been through the struggle, I usually get past it, but today I cant feel any emotion, Ive been through the hell and its led me to this. Idk what to do and I dont know who to turn to in this moment. This is the one obstacle I cant get over on my own.

I feel this intense numbness. I cant feel happy, sad, angry, joy, anxious. I just feel nothing. I barely feel any emotion on a day to day basis. I also cant feel happy. I hate this numbness so much it makes me want to self harm just to feel something

Interestingly, as part of being a psychopath my emotions are always shallow. Just think about it, not being able to feel true or mostly any form of happiness or gratification. Thats me. Ive had enough therapy, but my desire cannot be quenched.
