For the past almost two years I have seen myself going from slightly careless, to having very little empathy for other's problems, but now I'm to the point where I'm almost completely emotionless. It used to be just cynicism, which is reasonable, figuring the state of our world, but within the past few months I've quickly sunken deeper. I had 2 uncles die, one of which I was close to, but at the funeral I didn't cry, I barely even felt sad. I didn't feel anger or resentment either, almost like nothing had even happened. Recently I've been trying to feel, but I end up just feeling stupid for wanting to feel those painful emotions. I didn't think it was noticable to others until last week a friend told me, straight up, that I was cold and heartless after saying some snide remark about this girl whose mother has cancer. I used to be a cocaine addict, until getting clean a few months ago. Might strong drug use at such a young age be affecting my emotions, like meth does to it's users?
