Not having emotion

After I obtained a Traumatic Brain Injury in 2008, when I was 15 years old, I just don't experience most emotions. The only emotion I feel is anger. I feel love when I am extremely obsessed about someone. I only love my wife, I have no "feelings" towards my family or anyone else but, my wife.

This makes it hard for me to relate to people, so most of the time I look like I don't give a crYstals*p about anyone or anything. When I am in or near a large group of people who are experiencing one certain emotion, I tend to experience that emotion with them but other than that, I have no emotions. Does anyone else experience this?

Hello Snow Kissed Angel: I'm sorry you are having this difficulty. The Skeezyks can't really relate to what you described. But I saw that no one had replied to your post. So I thought I would.

Years ago I worked with individuals who had sustained traumatic brain injuries. And, so one thing I do know is that TBI's can cause all sorts of difficulties. Often it is in the areas of decision-making & anger management. I can't say as I encountered anyone with your particular concerns. But my personal experience was not extensive by any means.

I presume a lot of the problems people encounter have to do with which areas of the brain have sustained the damage. I hope that you have been able to get some professional help dealing with the aftermath of yours. I wish you well...
