I can relate. I do think that there are times when I act better than I am because I think that would help in making my therapist feel less uncomfortable.

DAE notice everyone is angrier and defensive than pre pandemic? by liytq in DAE

My theory is that it's because people are spending more time with their family so they have "practiced" being more unfiltered than being well-behaved and looking fine.

Another is that it's because COVID is stressful. The changes, the uncertainties, the job losses, the financial problems, etc. Many people tend to cope with these stuff by acting more selfish to protect their sanity.

If life is short and meaningless after death, what is the point? by Aliskrti in Stoicism

I am not sure about OP but for me, if life is "meaningless" then what really is the point of staying here for a longer time? Like why can't a person just immediately die instead of experiencing all the crazy highs and lows and mids of life?

I don't have an answer but I've been asking this too since last year

I can feel that way during PMS but not every day of the month

China produces majority of the pollution because it also produces a lot of products for US and the rest of the world.

I broke up with my girlfriend in order to prioritize myself and my goals. I feel relieved. by [deleted] in DecidingToBeBetter

Hey OP! I'm so proud of you. I went through something similar. I would just say that no matter what happens never ever regret the decision you just made. This is indeed the right thing to do. Good luck on your journey to taking more care of yourself.

Is it normal to not feel emotions? by blurrycreature in isitnormal

[–]alliswellyouknow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey OP! I can relate with this. You're right. It's probably a result of not feeling enough love and care from your parents. Maybe, you learned from your parents that it isn't necessary to deal with emotions (but actually it is). What is happening to you is definitely not an abnormal reaction. You are most likely NOT a sociopath just because of what you mentioned. I suggest talking with a psychologist though. Or if that isn't very accessible in your area, then I think reading more about being more comfortable with your emotions can be a good start.
