Ever since I was a teenager, I have been aware of a lack of feeling about things, both physically and emotionally in everyday life. Things rarely seem to affect me and I seem to be detached from the people around me. It isn't apparent to them, but I have started to notice it more and more. Even deaths of family members or friends do not seem to spark the reaction it does in others. I feel like most of my life I have "put on" the appropriate reactions to things because that's what's socially acceptable. I haven't suffered any sort of childhood trauma to cause this numbness, it's just the way I seem to always have been. It causes problems where relationships are concerned, because I can't ever seem to feel "that way" about anybody, sexually or emotionally. I don't even have the natural inclination for a relationship with a boy or girl. At school I never understood why everyone was so obsessed with boys and sex. It has never interested me.Am I the only one who is like this?
