Am I cold and heartless because I have stopped caring about everything?

A female United Kingdom, anonymous writes:

I don't care anymore, I have had a lot of misfortune in the last few months and have cried way too much. So now I just don't care if something bothers me I tell myself I don't care I know I do deep down but I refuse to let that feeling rise. I will not allow myself to seem bothered by these misfortunes anymore and any new ones I will not cry I refuse to.

I know this isn't the way to make myself appear strong, and showing your emotions isn't really a sign of weakness but it is to me so I refuse to do it.

Does this make me seem cold and heartless?

And what effect will keeping all the emotions and lying to myself pretending I don't care have on me?

Thanks x

I think that you are experiencing a lot of pain and are hurting right now. You don't say exactly what you have been through, but it may help to talk to someone you trust about your feelings, keep a diary, and get plenty of rest and exercise. Though you are hurting now, you will get through this and eventually be able to enjoy life again.

Lola1 agony auntSometimes we become emotionally exhausted. It's normal.

Sometimes we go into "survival mode". We deal with the day-to-day without investing too much of our emotional selves.

The fact that you asked that question means you are not cold and heartless. You obviously do care.

Don't give up.

Invest in what makes you happy and in time, you will feel normal again.

i have been through alot of misfortune also.

since i can remember i have been unlucky in life.

i used to be like you,not caring and going over the top like misbehaving at shcool and drinking underage,smoking at 12 year old and you now it didnt do me eny good because i realized that i was actually making myself more misfortunate by doing these things and not caring about my actions.

its time for you to do stand up and put a barrier infront of yourself and tell all these people who bring you down to pee off and you aint gonna give up..just think that giving up is a weak thing to do,get what you want!

get out there and be brave.

hiding all these emotions isnt gonna help you in the long run..it isnt weak to shopw your emotions i used to hide mine all of the time by taking pain killers but i got help and i feel so proud that today i can show my emotions and not feel embarrased who gives a flying F*** what people think it isnt theyre life its yours and you do as you please.

start caring!!

your strong,get yourself a new look and get some retail therapy become a new person.

GOOD LUCK.

softtouchmale2003 agony auntIts easy to become apathetic especially if you're depressed.

What misfortunes did you have that make you want to not care about anything anymore?

I'm assuming it was a breakup of some sort, just giving the nature of the site, but I don't know.

Anyway, the way you can start feeling better is to try and release the bitterness inside of you. Part of that means letting out all of the pain too. Since no one but you knows what you've done to try and let all of this out, the apathy will continue to remain.

That's about the best anyone could tell you without more information.
