Please help me......WHY DONT I HAVE ANY EMOTIONS?

Question

all my life, i just cant show any emotions when i hear something negative. Like For Example, when my grandfather died a few years ago, I didnt even feel anything, i didn't cry at his funeral. Now my mom just told me, she has a brain tumor. Im just like "oh ok". People think im weird and I dont care about my mother, thats not it, its just i cant show any emotions. To me its like the saying "it is, what it is

Answer 1

You do have emotions. You just don't express them as much as other people or you express yourself differently . Also, many people try to deny and don't want to believe when something bad happens, but you accept the truth for what it is and accept things for what they are(not an easy thing to do)
Everyone is different and express themselves Differently.You have your own style of expression too!

Answer 2

you said: "i just cant show any emotions" and "I didnt even feel anything."
Showing and feeling are two different things. In my opinion, they are also very different 'problems.' Not crying doesn't mean you didn't feel anything. Even a complete lack of expression doesn't mean you didn't feel anything. But, alas, the lack of expression can lead to problems. I have a similar problem. I don't always express happiness or appreciation. I've come to think that it's because of anxiety or fear or something. Kind of like I'm emotionally distracted. (I'm going on like this perchance you could relate on some level.) But my dad actually said once, 'I'd have done it for you but you didn't seem like you cared.' The misunderstanding is the problem... But actually not feeling anything? It was said in a psychology class that sociopaths do not experience guilt and shame like 'the rest of us.'
...but I really don't know you, so...
But if you feel 'numb' that's not a good thing. I've been at the 'numb' phase and, well, it's not good...

I have the same thing except i laugh when some is being shot or something (sometimes) i don't have any emotions either my face is always blank. Umm i know i'm going to get "Thumbs down" for this answer. We just weren't born with emotions that's all i knowi went through a "shock" accident, i think that's why i'm not able.

Answer 4

I LOVE BEING A NORTHERN YANKEE
Love is an emotion. You care about your mother. Emotion.

Now, you are not the norm emotionally. If you feel you need help, contact a therapist. Let him assess the situation. I suspect there is nothing wrong, but why let it worry you? Check it out. You could be holding emotions in and not realizing it. That could be a big problem one day.

Answer 5

Maybe you don't like to show emotions because you asked this question so obviously you are feeling guilty or something, if you did not care you would not have wasted 5 points asking this question. I think you don't like to show emotions because It makes people look weak. thats my opinion at leasts. I don't like to show emotions either.

Answer 6

its ok not to express your emotions. some people just arent emotional. and dont let anyone make you feel bad just because you dont cry or get sad. everyone expresses themselves differently.

Answer 7

maybe things are too painful. When I was 10 my family got a kitten and we had to put her to sleep and for a while I was giggling about it and I thought that was a bad thing to do. The vet said that it's just because it's painful. Later I cried about it. Maybe someday you will or maybe you won't...I wouldn't worry about it.

Answer 8

You do, just not as much as other people. You probably dont express it. If you feel hurt inside, your hurt even if it doesnt appear that way. And you also might be shocked...

Answer 9

it isn't that you don't have emotions. you just see things for what they are. you state that you care for your mother and that is an emotion.

Answer 10

possibly a lack of dopamine in the brain.
