Most of the time, I haven't really felt a genuine emotion unless it's either stress, boredom, or anger against the world. Now that I think about it, I think I've been the same way when I was a little kid (minus the anger and stress): I thought I felt emotion, but there was something...off about it. It seems that I can't shake off this "cold" feeling unless the emotions are intense enough. It doesn't help that feeling emotions can be exhausting, and that it's also exhausting to be around other people for long periods of time (parents and friends included). I'm around at least two of my friends most days of the week and I never seem to get better...however, it seems my behavior doesn't seem too strange to them, so I'm probably doing something right. With this combination of introversion (despite being somewhat of a social butterfly during elementary school), emotional detachment, "only child syndrome," and my lack of knowledge in both sociology and humanity in general...how do I fix it? Where do I start (just in case I haven't thought of enough options)?

that is what therapists are for, to help you think of the options. they help you sort out the possibilities of what could be the cause and how to go about changing it, setting goals for change, etc.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
