I understand your point of view, but I see caring as a strength not a weakness. To me weakness is not caring about anything, not even the smallest of house chores, or some other personal action.

Weakness is not being able to be bothered to care. Not having the emotion there however is a different thing. People can care without getting emotionally out of control, there is a difference there.

Of course no one has the right to tell you what to think, not to think, what to care or not care about and those choices are yours alone and should be repsected.

I think you are empty, and I really do know what that feels like. I get to that point a lot. I feel that where my heart is supposed to be there is a huge black hole that nothing can fill. That depersonalisation and the desensitising to others, removing them from your sphere of care; you can't put somewhere that at the moment is numb and does not exist.

Often the depression lifts for a few days, and you can heave a sigh of relief, but for some it doesn't lift and they spend their days in this state actually looking at the gaping hole they think should have something in it but they don't know what...
