Does anyone feel like they're unaware of things they're feeling? Whenever I read the question oh how are you feeling right now? I just want to say I'm fine. I don't feel that internally there's ever much of a difference though I'm sure if you checked my blood pressure all the time there would be a difference.

my old psychologist told me I'm detached from my emotions. I've also been told I have a lack of empathy. I know that I can feel emotions and when I do it's uncontrollable. I can't stop. I'll be hysterical for 10 or so minutes and then if you try to talk to me about what just happened 20 minutes ago i'm unable to tell you. I don't remember the feeling
I can have extreme reactions. I can plot out my suicide in 20 minutes, I can plot out a murder in 20 minutes...and then once the emotion is gone I don't remember anything about it. it's like I just go back to normal

when I really think about it sometimes I see people display emotions and I imagine that they must feel something inside. I don't think that I feel that inside. it's just the same inside all the time. one time my psychologist asked me if a person I was spending time with made me feel warm and fuzzy inside...I've heard the statement before. but I don't think I've ever felt the feeling.

it comes a problem when people ask me what's the problem in your life - how do you feel? and I can completely say I don't know

can anyone else relate?

Hello, Gingy01. I have been told many of the same things you have, including I was a social retard.

Here are some resources that might be helpful:

I wish you well.
