Can a person who is apathetic and emotionless in a relationship?

Question:

I'm actually very apathetic and emotionless. A few days ago my mother told me I'm a person who has no feelings and couldn't care less about their and other people's feelings. My grandparents died all my family member cried like mad and yet I don't feel anything about it. My father scolded me in front of everyone and yet I don't feel any guilty about it. My mother scolded me until she cried and yet I also don't feel anything about it. I believe is good when we need to deal certain issues, which require us to be emotionless but recently I found out that it is catastrophic to me to solve emotional problems. My friends (practically all) spend their time on useless activities and I'm getting sick about it. So I'm thinking of getting into a relationship with someone else to make my time more useful but due to my emotionless character, I don't feel anything towards any girls, regardless of how attractive they are and something I feel is whether is it worthwhile spending my time with them.How?

Answers:
Does depression run in your family? Have you ever heard of the "Dysthymic Disorder" which is a general "low grade" depression that affects you most days for at least 2 years.

Please ask you parents to stop scolding and to take you to either a Licensed Clinical Social Worker or a Psychiatrist. With proper medication and talk therapy you may very well be able to experience "normal" feelings.

Good luck and get going!

u r feelingsless it doesnt mean u r a bad people.some people r very much emotional, some r little and some r not at all like u. so dont bother...
but, ur simptoms seeming as "frustration"...can u go near a doct? just for a routin check up?

all the best. never think u r worthless..thats the way u r.

Find out first why you have turned off your feelings. Then get into a relationship. It would not be fair to the other person for you to be in a relationship if you do not feel the slightest thing for them. So first fix yourself then get in a relationship.

Hope that helps,

You didn't state your age, but I'm willing to bet that you're in your younger teens. Although the condition you describe is a big pain in the ***, it's perfectly normal and will fade as you get older and have to deal with life on a different level. When my father died I was just about in your position although I was 21. Now, some fifty years later, I puddle up at sad movies. Just don't let yourself be insensitive.

Everyone reacts differently. Don't let other people tell you how you feel- just because one does not understand why, what and how you are reacting does not mean the way you are doing it is right or wrong. Personally, I think your family should be a bit more considerate about your feelings, not your perceived lack of them.

You are actually considered a sociopath. You know those mass murders that kill tons of people, they are mostly all sociopaths. They feel no emotion or empathy towards anything. They are also very charismatic and sociable.

Here is an excerpt:

Diagnosis of Antisocial personality disorder is documented to be significantly more common among men than among women [1].

Central to identifying individuals exhibiting characteristics of the disorder is that they appear to experience a limited range of human emotions. This can explain their lack of empathy for the suffering of others, since they cannot experience the emotion associated with either empathy or suffering. Risk-seeking behavior and substance abuse may be attempts to escape feeling empty or emotionally void.[citation needed] The rage exhibited by sociopaths, as well as the anxiety associated with certain presentations of antisocial personality disorder, may represent the limit of emotion(s) experienced, or might also suggest physiological responses, without analogy to emotion, experienced by others

SEE A DOCTOR and they will be able to contribute to you having relationships with people.

How strange. Maybe you have a physical problem and not mental. You could have a nerve block. I have no clue...I'm not a doctor. Maybe you need to lighten up.
