What Is It Like To Have Never Felt An Emotion?

already doing so kiss

I'm not sure what response I "wanted" but I just read this and went, "holy..." so I wanted to share :)

Lots of great responses in this thread.

Could it be @davobrosia 's fake it entails a little more justification

@pm elaborate on emotion having set
perhaps shorty's armored himself against feeling emotions. afraid of that sense of "throwing off", of being thrown off his little grid where there is a strict check on all the little circulations or whatever else you'd wish to call the movements involved in his economy of desire. i thought set was a good word as not only is he good with money and missing a conscience and potentially successful in this world but the description of a face having "set" can be drawn out to cover the whole body-- one's whole musculature could be set, rigid, fixed (in a word, characterological, as guarded against that liquid disintegration, that wave of emotion). probly could have smth to do with that 7 year old comment but i'm not pressing that point any further bc even one's unconscious lies

put ur lips where my but is

This is something I've also seriously considered. Although I don't know how to figure out if that's even the case. Prob therapy or something

no need for all that. send your money to me instead. weren't you going on about how you never have satisfying sexual experiences yesteryear
Yea I was, what about it?

You really should try therapy. It helps to get some outside perspective. Or don't, and just count down the days until you off yourself.

this

fuck you

send your money to me instead.
you've said this umpteen times but is it to say that someone who is considering seeking therapy may as well piss their money into your account or are you willing to help if able

you'll have to send the money first bud

 

how's your stomach lil guy

I have good days and bad days with it. Bad days are awful though.
what are ya doin about it
"I am a sick man.... I am a spiteful man. I am an unattractive man. I believe my stomach is diseased. However, I know nothing at all about my disease, and do not know for certain what ails me. I don't consult a doctor for it, and never have, though I have a respect for medicine and doctors. Besides, I am extremely superstitious, sufficiently so to respect medicine, anyway (I am well-educated enough not to be superstitious, but I am superstitious). No, I refuse to consult a doctor from spite. That you probably will not understand. Well, I understand it, though. Of course, I can't explain who it is precisely that I am mortifying in this case by my spite: I am perfectly well aware that I cannot "pay out" the doctors by not consulting them; I know better than anyone that by all this I am only injuring myself and no one else. But still, if I don't consult a doctor it is from spite. My stomach is bad-- well, let it get worse." -tuffy 2015

I've gone to a bunch of doctors man. Like, so many. I got a shelf of like 8 bottles of pills and 4 bottles of these syrups but none of them work. I've had CAT scans, MRIs, full body scans, brain scans, had an endoscopy and a colonoscopy, I've done acupuncture, completely changed my diet and haven't had a soda in almost 2 years, prepare nearly all my own meals, buy 100% organic groceries, I go to the gym and have a personal trainer

wtf dude

What do you mean wtf?

 

You're the one who wrote a paragraph that couldn't have been more off base

 

 

The fact that I've done so much but hardly anything worked is a huge reason that I'm frustrated with it lol
i didn't write it u swine
where'd you find it
Dexter Morgan?
Dexter Morgan?
And the colonoscopy didn't help? Huh

Could it be @davobrosia 's fake it entails a little more justification

 

could be.

fake it till you make it huh
u worry too much homie do lsd and get a girl, life is simple

Without being too detailed...this.

If this has to be explained to you...then your lack of feeling hasn't forced any of your other senses to grow in strength/potency, and you better get to reading.  Therapy, if nothing else, will teach you "normalcy" in what you need to know to survive.

It doesn't, I figured that out years ago. It just took a while before I was any good at it. The thread was the sharing of an article though and for discussion, not a plea for help or direction. I'm not saying it's not welcome lol, but your stance of "hurr if you didn't get it already then ya better hit the books" didn't make any sense in the context of the thread and what's going on.

sounds like ur depressed.. get a therapist

fake it till you make it huh

 

yes pretty much
