I remember spending hours acting weird but I couldn't feel anything at all. Watching my own behaviour I eventually figured out I was feeling bitter. I am far more emotionally aware these days, but I still find myself wondering what I might be failing to notice.

I think I used to have this.

I would literally turn on some music, and based on what songs I chose and enjoyed, that's how I would figure out what I was feeling.

I have purposefully repressed all kinds of emotions and that sort of helped me because now I don't fall in love too quickly, don't get too angry when something I dislike happens, don't get too shy or scared, so overall my quality of life is better, and I can always fake emotions so that the people I love can feel happier around me. The only thing that is concerning me is that I have lost touch with reality. I often times feel extremely far away from reality, as if I was my own stand (JoJo reference intended), floating outside of my own body. My perception of time has been almost completely destroyed, I feel like I am trapped both in the past and in the future at the same time, but unable to live in the present, live in the moment. I feel like I'm living in third person and I can't change to first person at all.

When I first watched the full video on alexathymia about a month ago now I had it on whilst I was on a walk and I was smiling the whole time, the shear amount of insight into the issues I've faced I that one video was immense

Now I'm a month down the line and I've learnt how to know what I'm feeling, experience that emotion as it is, become vastly more in the moment, I'm doing things because I actually want what I get out of them as opposed to want to do them in the first place, ive even picked up a bi-daily meditation habit, I've got so much to learn still but it's been downright revolutionary in my life, thank you so much for shedding some light on it

Idk know if I have this, I don’t really wanna self diagnose, but for years I have just been unable to care about anything. Sometimes I’ll get that anxious worrying feeling when something bad happens but it’s completely gone within 5 mins. I also care about my family a lot and would do anything for them, but when my grandpa died I couldn’t feel anything. Like I was sad he was gone and missed him, but I didn’t feel anything more than “well that sucks, anyway…” I loved my grandpa so much and I couldn’t even cry or be properly sad when he died. The inability to care is horrible because while others around you will be crying and you just sitting there expressionless it gives of the feeling that you don’t care at all and don’t want to be involved with the situation. That’s how it was at my grandpas funeral but that’s not how I felt, I wanted to be there and I was sad, but just couldn’t feel it on a heavy scale or express it

The worst thing about it is that you finally tell them how you feel, and they just don't get the message.

You do this once and it doesn't work, you're less likely to open up again.

This is definitely one of the ways my Autism manifests within how I process my emotions. It makes it very difficult to validate my own feelings and find ways of nuturing positive emotional processing.

[Mr_Rabbit]

I have been "numb" for at least a year now, with no emotion attached to progression in my life or relationships with people and friends. I do care about my family. I just feel that I do not care about anything else. If "whatever happens, happens" could be an emotion, that is how I feel. It does not feel negative, depressing or confusing. Would this be considered the same thing?

[kattimpala]

im happy youtube is now flagging which content creators are licensed this is a good change !

[Psychx_]

What to do if one switches inbetween pain, anxiety, regret/resentfulness, and "I don't care"? It's not feeling nothing, but rather a decreased emotional range that is oscillating between those states.

God bless the day I'll be looking at a person that interests me and I don''t feel like an incapable, unworthy piece of shit that has nothing to offer.

[Vanillabean]

Craziest coincidence of my life. Ive been off weed for 30 days, i smoked and drank today. I woke up and realized my terrible behavior. Ive been unemployed, and not taking care of myself. Treating others badly, aware, but not doing anything about it.

[Daniel-Deshaun]

When I was younger my parents would constantly smack and hit me for whatever. As a result I figured out that if I discard my ability to feel any emotions I can no longer get mad or resentful or sad at them. The problem is I’m not stuck in this emotionless state all the time and would like to somehow turn it back on

[aidantaylor]

I definitely have this but luckily I make sure to understand how I feel regularly and if a problem arises from me not understanding soon enough I just say I could have done better to prevent it or accept that it's the way it is and it's OK for problems to happen as long as you work towards a solution

[kris.........]

This has been my experience, and I'm just learning about it now. One of the toughest aspects is communication. I've agreed to some pretty life-altering things based not on my personal feelings, but instead by judging the situation logically and if I couldn't see a reason not to, I'd agree.

I have awareness now of this condition and am trying to check in with bodily signals for clues - other than that I'm not sure how to proceed.

[Noah-gnre]

This debilitate me so much in my daily life. Atleast I got aware of it and started learning how to deal with it throughout the years

[RissaMarie]

Sometimes is peaceful blissful almost. I feel like I can breathe when I don’t have to feel.

[dread]

I just end up shaming myself due to the embarrassment of me feeling insecure. That's why I stay quiet, I don't say anything. I Tough it out and just say "sure it's ok"😊

[hellbreakfast]

Yo, doc, thanks for putting this info out there! It's mega cool, and very helpful! I forget to check my emotional state because I want to be Mr. Spock all the time, and no one wants to be married to a vulcan! So thanks for the reminder to put down the logic for five seconds and think about my feelings!

[adaliawright]

I think the song Numb Little Bug really spoke to a lot of people for this very reason

[DisturbedVette]

I know what my emotions are I just stash them away lmao
