Look honey, I read some of your other questions. Quite frankly, I'm not surprised that you felt nothing when your brother died. I don't know you at all, but it seems to me that you have had a very difficult life. Nobody is in any position to judge you. I do strongly recommend that you talk to someone (a psychologist). It won't be easy, but you are still young enough where it can make a difference. It will be the very best thing that you can do. You have had a tough life, do something good for yourself. Give up the boyfriends for now and concentrate on you. Work really hard at school, get some councelling and when you graduate high school, go to college. You may come from a rough background, but that doesn't have to define the person you become. You are capable of being a good person, I know you are. Don't let the circumstances that have been beyond your control determine the person you become. Take control and be the first person in your life who has given a crap. I care about you and I don't even know you. Good Luck!

I doubt very much if you have a "disorder." First part of your question, different people have different ways of responding. Very simplistically, this could be called a "defense mechanism" but it can be much more than that. Some of us are stoics. IT HAPPENED. Your feeling "sad" won't change anything. (I happen to be like that, & am often considered cold & indifferent.) As to the second part, believe me, you don't do things you're not "controlling." You do what you do because you are YOU. The only other explanation would be that someone, or something is controlling you. You may not feel consciously aware of why you do what you do, yet you're motivated ONLY by yourself, whatever the depth of your motivations--which only you can explore, if you choose. I hardly think you need a psychiatrist or anything else! You've asked yourself these questions; that's good. Unless you have other relevant feelings you haven't expressed, just be who you are. Many people--while they have my empathy--dwell in feeling miserable when it's best to "take your losses" in the most healthy way for YOU. Unless, as I said, there's more to this, you are just FINE. Try not to let other peoples' opinions make you doubt yourself!

Could be. Sociopathic tendencies create lack of emotion and even conscience (although you seem upset about not being upset so...)
It could be a numbness from depression, dissociative disorder (sounds most likely to me, but I'm not a doctor!), or post traumatic stress. Or it could be normal for you. The only way to find out is to see a qualified mental health professional.
I wish you luck.

I am the same way!! the same exact way!! I somtimes think there is something wrong, but I have only been diagnosed with manic depression and suspected type 2 bipolar..Its a terrible feeling.. it gets in the way of alot of things. If you would like to talk my myspace is myspace.com/hollyols and hollyishopefull is my yahoo screen name.. sometimes you just have no remorse.. I know the feeling.. You could also be a sociopath. They have this severly. But I am the same way.

I would say so. Check it out with a psychiatrist. You could be suffering from grief and depression or, I hate to say this, a personality disorder.
I am sorry about your brother's death & hope that you may find out the cause of your seeming lack of grief.

Your brother died and you didn't feel anything?? There is defintely something wrong there. It might come back to you in time because your mind might be surpressing the emotions for the time being. Might have something to do with post-tramatic stress disorder.

Doesn't sound like it people mourn indifferent ways. Some people are just not usually sad. If you're concerned see a counselor or something
