I feel like I don't truly understand what it is to be human. What it is to love, or feel compassion. I am apathetic towards almost everything, and I have a hard time viewing others as anything more than a tool, or an object, or a means to an end. That being said, I want to understand it. I want to know what it feels like to care. There are a handful of people who I actually consider close, or go out of my way to talk to or even generally interact with on a regular basis. But even that is a struggle in itself.

Are you having a bad day? Chill out and have some fun.

[Nebbles]

That sounds more like an existential crisis than a bad day.

[Tobbeh99]

Bad time of your life I guess.

In the most inoffensive way I can say this, you might consider looking into getting a psychological evaluation for an antisocial personality disorder. You obviously aren't oblivious to what you're going through, which is, I'm sure, a good thing, and a willingness to ask a professional can't hurt, but has the chance to really help. I'm no expert with psychology though. Just talking as a person, I'd say you should find somebody that you really trust, and just talk to them honestly. The people that care will listen, and it'll be easier to care about them.

I might get what you mean, but not sure if I'm understanding this right
Like you know they're people but they aren't really people? And you feel like they have something extra that you don't have and life would be easier if you have it too? Is it like those people might be valuable sometime in the future as a means to get something you need so you just deal with it? But you don't really want to talk with your 'friends' even though you know you should?

If you can't get a psych eval, try reading some old literature (the Epic of Gilgamesh's central theme is what it means to be human).
That probably sounds stupid, but it can give insight if that's what you so desire.

[Nebbles]

I'd still go for a psych eval though, if that's possible. Talk to someone you trust, it'll always help.

Never gonna let you live this one down Maestro:

[MaestroUGC]

Oh no, you caught me reading a thread on a forum of which I'm a Moderator. What a scandal.

[Nebbles]

It'll be all over the news!
