This might be it.

I also know my family has a history of anti social personality disorder, but I don't lie, and I don't like hurting people (I derive no pleasure from it) and these are symptoms of that.

I just....don't....care?

Like, attachments to people are gone? I mean, i basically view people as replaceable now (as bad as that sounds). I can stop talking to someone and I won't miss them.

I get bored with people easily.

Maybe this is what it feels like to not be depressed? I *am* on an antidepressant at the moment.

I am confused, i also recognize that if this didn't bother me I wouldn't be making a thread about it. =P

Maybe I was just hypersensitive before because of the depression and this is what *normal* feels like.

I told my friend "if you were to dissapear, i wouldn't care" and she took that personally, got mad at me, called me narcissistic and selfish, and then left. Even though what I said to her was in no way meant to be a personal attack, i was trying to tell her how that BOTHERED me, that i felt that way. I can see how it would hurt someone though.

I mean, I do *try* to care. It's just, a part of me knows "hey if you dissapeared i wouldn't miss you."

I dunno.

I will try to respond to some of the other responses now.
