k enough free stuff...

I agree with you. I am currently studying psychology and I was going to say psycopath but that isnt as nice of a word I guess.

Psychopaths dont technically go around killing people at random. Their are tons of them out there and you would never know it. I think the ratio is 1 out of every hundred american is a psychopath. From my understanding their are varying degrees of being a psychopath so some people never even know they are. The fact that you feel such a great lack of emotion and talk about beating the shlt out of some old woman for cutting you off definatly makes you fit the profile. Read up on it and talk to a psychiatrist. Their are tests that can be done to see if you are a psychopath that you may be able to take and then you can treat it from there.

I am not an expert (far from it) so I could be WAY off.

There are some anti-social tendencies in PTSD too. 'Psychopath' is usually reserved for people who act on their impulses, not just think them.

Ah, so you're a pseudo-intellectual that expects decent conversation on an internet message-board. Why not check out the Straight Dope, because most of them are full of themselves too. They "think" they have great intellect as well. Here you go.

So being "cut off" emotionally is something worth seeking "therapy"? What if he doesn't want to be emotional, is that a problem. The only problem I see is maybe an anger management problem concerning an elderly old lady that can't drive. Would you really have gotten out of the vehicle, Kroze, and confronted this lady face to face?

I didn't attack anyone's character-I made a general statement that could have been refuted by appealing to a basic logical fallacy-but instead an old member called MILL has to let the dung fly and call me a pseudo intellectual and even go to the trouble making a link for my benefit.

Since you addressed me personally and called into question my character and my motives for posting then I will call into question yours:

Why did you need to post such drivel when all you had to do was use your intellect instead of a reaction to an emotion that justifies, according to the empirical evidence of your post, the ad hominem attack of another forum member simply because that member calls into question the validity and quality of a forum that you don't own?

I am at a loss-the two conclusions I am able to reach is that 1: you're either very young, or 2: you've not developed any kind of social skill-and hence-you should probably stay on your computer and ramp up your post count to 10000-OH wait you already have a 15000 post count.



As I said before you should get some professional help (I had too when I came back from Korea).

Luvly? Is that you? BTW, you ad-homed me at the end. And yeah I'm real young and immature. I guess having a sense of humor is way beneath your intellectual capacity. Enjoy your cloud.

Good book - very approachable. I'd also check out Catch 22 - deeper, and might help understand that you're not alone with these sort of feelings.

Why

The reason you don't get any serious responses is that most of us don't have the slightest clue what to say. Instead of not saying anything (which would make more sense) we post "useless drivel" in an attempt to be funny for our own personal entertainment purposes and occasionally it might bring a smile to the OP's face.
Also, attacking postcount is one of the basest arguments you can make on these (or any) forums. Postcount doesn't prove a goddamn thing. Don't make assumptions from stupid things like that.

you probably don't have a reason to care about life. you need to find a different reason for living than to "survive." you probably don't care much about yourself but you need to find someone else to really care about (your gf, family, etc.) once you develop that selfish attitude that you want the best out of life and to be with your love ones, then maybe your lack of fear of death and consequences will go away.

1.) STFU.
2.) Kroze, you're f*cked up. Go see a shrink.

It's not uncommon for us to be "numb". The reason is probably something that happened in your past, and by numbing out (insulating yourself from the pain/difficulty of dealing with it) you can go on and 'deal with it' and with life. Just knowing that this is your situation is a very important starting point to resolving it.

it's normal. Some people are highly emotional, some are the opposite. People like you are called, Unflappable. I'm somewhat the same way, but not not nearly as much.

That's on the money. Therapy would probably help. Some individual to start and then group therapy.

Have you had any involvement with abortion? Sometimes even males that sponsor or have one of their children aborted suffer from detachment and other disorders.

Hey Kroze, thought you'd like you know that there are other people in the same boat. I'm the exact same way. I can't bring myself to deeply care about anyone, though I'm not disassociated enough to know who I like and who I dislike. Really it's like having regular emotions, but only on the surface. There's no depth. Does that sound familiar?

From my own research, I don't think it's exactly depression though there have been bouts of that. What was your family life like back during your school years? For certain reasons I've always been at arm's length from mine and have had to endeavour to keep everything that goes on in my life private, and supposedly this is why I now have problems 'letting people in'. Your g/f situation exactly mirrors what mine have been like. I'd move on as a matter of course, coldly logical. What's the point in dwelling, right? Apparently we're supposed to be remorseful and stuff but I've never been that way to date...

Like me, you probably have friends waiting to help you if you need it but you've never opened up to them. Give it a try, or barring that talk to a psychologist. You're not crazy, but you have some emotional scar tissue that needs to be cut away. Let us know how it goes.

Well because i know. Here's another example.

I was in Iraq and there's like so many gas calls *we have to put on our NBC (nuclear biological chemical) gear so many times. And everytime, i just keep thinking that okay, your ass is gased. Knowing that i'm going to be killed by gas, yet, i'm calm and cool. Just as casual as can be. The sky was blowing up from all of the artillery and i never thought that the sky can be so many different color, one minute it was red as blood in the middle of the night, next it's bright as day and the constant bombing.

apocolypse now.."ah..the smell of napalm in the morning"?
