Okay i have social anxiety and depression, but i have this problem and wonder if it’s anything to do with my depression. The thing is i cant feel any sympethy or emotion for anyone at all apart from myself, sometimes not even myself. I’m not a mean person, i’m infact a very nice and peaceful person i’m always nice. But sometimes being around someone for so long makes me want to actually murder them. Friends tell me stories and i really should feel sympethy i know that i should, but i just dont, i can pretend and i know what to say but i just cant feel any emotion or sympethy towards anyone at all.
I dont know why … Like if i watch the news and people are dying under alot of rubble or something, as bad as this sounds i just dont care and get angry with myself and think why dont i care. I pretend to care and stuff but really i just dont.
