I find myself walking amongst the crowds, pretending to care about their petty issues and attempting to re-configure my mindset so that I may be able to better understand and express emotion.
I find myself faking happy, faking smiles, faking my opinions in opinionated matters when I have no opinion. I'm at the end of my wits with people and their emotions. I can't seem to care about much of anything or anyone and all I can do is fake it. Anyone with similar experiences? It would help my frustrations to know that I'm not completely alone in this matter.

the times I felt like this was when my medications made me feel this way, or I was sleep deprived, not enough food, liquids...after I was treated for the problem things went back to normal for me. usually that treatment entailed medication changes. |

Hugs to you!
You are so NOT alone in your feelings. Do the same things all time.... Faking happiness is something we have done for so many years. It's pretty much second nature to say "Fine" or "Ok" when asked how we are doing....and then followed by a smile and asking how the other is doing....coming to think that a lot of others do the same thing. Take care and hope this helps a little bit. Hugs, Jen

i wish i had no emotions. Better control of everything. Emotions suck and just get in the way especially if you're a logical thinker

You're certainly not alone in this. I go back and forth with this so much. I get frustrated that I'm forced to listen to such petty conversations as the latest TV shows, the weather, sports and so much nonsense it drains me even more. I think a lot of it in my experience at least is honestly, there are much better things to talk about. Perhaps I am a little big headed but I feel like I have to dumb myself down to talk to others, I have to be bland, boring, lack of any real substance and it drains me. Perhaps this is the negative way to look at it but it's how I feel. Faking happy and all of that, I'm a pro at that. But my fiance can see through it, which makes pretending everything is fine when it isn't nearly impossible. But no you're definately not alone, this world is full of superficial people and anything you try to discuss that doesn't meet their idea of a good conversation, you're looked at like an alien. It's rather common for some
