The story

so here's the deal, i can't even remember the last time i cried 😂 like wtf is wrong with me!!! it's my best friend's funeral and i'm just standing there feeling nothing. nada. zippo. everybody around me is all tears and tissues n stuff, but not yours truly. i was just thinking "what's wrong with me??" while they all cry their eyes out. 🤔

and it doesn't stop there!!! watched this supposedly 'heart-wrenching' movie last night everyone keeps hyping about, you know one of those movies where you're supposed to reach for the tissue box 😒 y'all get the drift...but guess what? NOTHING! didn't shed a single tear!! am i broken or something??? sometimes i wonder if i'm missing a part of my brain that's supposed to deal with emotions or maybe it's shriveled up somewhere in there lol 🤷‍♂️ it's weird cause if you met me, I'd seem like a regular emotional dude!

it’s kinda freaky every time someone tells a sad story at work or on tv, I sit there like an emotionless robot... like how do these ppl do it?? makes me question if I'm cut out for real human contact anymore 😕 ya know it’s getting really disturbing when anytime something crappy happens - whether it be bad news (lost job) or whatever - my response isn't sadness but just blankness! I'm starting to feel like i'm losing touch with reality!!!!!!!!

I totally get what you're saying; it feels like when my dog passed away a few years ago, everyone around me was bawling their eyes out, but I just stood there feeling nothing. It's almost like there's a switch in the brain that's supposed to flip and it just doesn't sometimes 🤔. Society kinda expects us to react a certain way in emotional situations, and when we don't, it makes us question ourselves...‍ But trust me, it's not about being broken or anything, emotions have their own weird timing!

Man, I feel you!! It's like being stuck in this weird limbo where everyone else is on one emotional wavelength and you're just...not. 🤨 Emotions can be tricky, right? Ever consider if it's maybe your body's way of coping with intense feelings by kinda shutting them down for a bit? Why do you think you've started to notice this shift more recently???

I totally get what you're saying! Sometimes I also don't cry at things that should move me.
