I have no emotions.
Posted by Jennifer. in Alone on Dec 12th, 2010 | 7 commentsAs the title states I have no emotions. I am not sad when someone dies. I am not happy when someone does something good. I am a great actor because I have stable friendships. Hollywood should hire me.

I don’t think your innerself is really like what you said:)
In fact,the guiltness shows that you have emotions.you have emotions so you can feel guilty.
The real you may not be seen by people around you because you hide your feelings.XD
you have a high sense pf self-protection and your mind is weak and fragile,maybe you have ever suffer some emotional pains alone before.I know that hurts.
you are a normal and good person.dont’ worry:)
take easy
then what if you cant feel any emotions what if you can smile but are hiding something behind them, and what if you cant feel physical pain or if you can regret but you dont mean it or is you can love but all you do is tremble at the thought of loss and when you lose her you cant cry you cant do anything but walk the highway until you die thats not suicidal its detachment you feel you must walk until you forget to me and alot of others i know we feel nothing we laugh we smile but we always hide behind those fake emotions. ever since i lost emotions i have felt power a strange brute like strength within me something i cant control when released from restraint i cant feel anything thats the price i pay
I agree – you are obviously concerned that you have ‘no emotions’ which ironically means you must have emotions to care in the first place! I’m not an overly emotional person – I can’t cry in front of people and don’t really show how i’m feeling most of the time. There’s nothing wrong with being a more closed person – everyone deals with situations in different ways. Don’t let others define what is a ‘normal’ way to react. There is no normal way – only your way.
Please listen when I tell you that what you are describing is a major symptom of depression. Depression is more a lack of feeling than a feeling of continual sadness. Further signs of depression would be if you continually feel tired or lethargic, or can not find the motivation to do anything, especially things you enjoy or once enjoyed doing. You should really try and see a doctor. I advise a family practice doctor over clinics or hospitals. If you have good trustworthy friends try and talk to one of them and see if they would be willing to go with you. a good friend will understand and want to help. Take it from someone with experience you will not believe how much different you feel and how you lived like that once you are feeling better.
I used to feel the same way. Until I dealt with painful things in my past head-on is when I finally began to feel. It’s not easy or fun at first, it takes awhile to get used to not being numb
Could be trauma, depression, sociopathy. Could be a lot of things. You didn’t necessarily show any signs of feeling guilt or regret about it so the act of posting this doesn’t disprove it but it is possible that guilty feelings about a fabricated condition could have made you post it, though a therapist could tell you with more certainty than I can or anybody else on the internet who you don’t know anything about can.
Same boat. Never said anything before; it’s not a big deal to me. Faking sad at a funeral, maybe strain your eyes so they water. Crinkling your eyes when you smile so it looks real when you laugh or fake happiness. Not sure I’d know what anything was if I ever felt anything; I know what emotions look like, and can imitate them (sometimes the wrong one, at times, but usually well), but am unaware of them in the “know” sense, beyond identification.
Rather advantageous at times, actually. Makes it easier to show what you want to. To purport the most advantageous front. And rational, nearly unbiased, logical thought is more easily attainable.
You are hardly the only one like this. And above commenters: posting something is not necessarily an indicator of feeling something, guilt or otherwise. Sometimes, it’s an attempt at trying in vain to force an emotion. Others, it is purely academic- a study of human reaction. Still others, it is an utterance of a statement the author is too wise to communicate elsewhere, a simple observation like “Earth’s atmosphere is comprised mainly of nitrogen”.
