Have any of you found that you simply don't give a damn about anything? Not about friends, family, what's happening around you? I don't mean lethargy or an innate desire to disconnect from the outside world, I'm talking about total lack of emotion. I'll give you an example:

Instead of actually feeling an emotion, you think the emotion, i.e. there is absolutely no emotive pulse, just a thought that expresses that a certain emotion should be felt at this time, almost as though a part of you is looking back at you and saying This is what you should be experiencing, while the actual you part of you doesn't actually experience anything except the thought.

I find that most of the time this is what is going on in my head. People close to me tell me good news, bad news etc and I find myself just looking at them and thinking "I really don't care", although I go through the motions of happiness, sympathy etc, without actually feeling any sense of connection whatsoever.

I would love to know if anyone else has this sense of disconnection inside and what, if anything, they've been able to do about it. It's literally ruining my life, because I can't fully take part in my relationships anymore.
