    Unconsciously blocking emotion

    Thanks for the reply. I do sometimes feel numb, like life has no meaning, but I don't think it's anything close to depression. Sometimes I choose to not feel about something in order to not "ruin the mood". I'm also pretty shy so I always suppress emotions in front of strangers. I guess it...

    Unconsciously blocking emotion

    Since puberty I've been blocking my emotions so constantly that it has become a habit that I can't even "unblock". For example, when I saw people living in horrible condition on the news, I simply chose not to feel sympathetic or sad, or in a worse case, when I watched a funny video alone, I...

    I wish I could be closer to my father

    I was never close to my father. I only talk to him when I need to, as if he's just a tenant at my home or something, probably because he's been absent most of the time during my childhood, as in, he's there, but we seldom interacted. It's not his fault, though. He was working hard and he's not...

    My confusing affection for my best friend

    For my best friend I think it's just squish and some sensual attraction, nothing else. But yeah I've actually been quite confused about what my sexuality is. I have sexual, romantic attraction, crushes and maybe squish for females while squish, sensual attraction and some aesthetic attraction...

    My confusing affection for my best friend

    I'm 23, male. I've only known my best friend, also 23/M, for 2.5 years, but we've become very close and spent a lot of time together. For the recent year I started to feel a strange affection for him. I am genuinely happy when he's happy and I want to do things for him. I'm not really...

    Unable to relax and addicted to being productive

    I also think meditation would help. I've tried it for 1 or 2 weeks but gave up because it was too boring (I know that's the point). Perhaps I should start doing it again. Oh I love questionnaires about myself! : Loud noises bother me but not to the point of mental breakdown, just make me very...

    Unable to relax and addicted to being productive

    I grew up in a family where relaxing is considered a luxury or waste of time and now this way of thinking has rooted firmly in me. Currently I'm out of school and applying for grad school, which should be a good time to enjoy life, but I'm constantly worried or preparing myself for the future...

    My obsession with being special, powerful, and superior

    I did a research on NPD and I do not believe it fits me. For example, I don't think I'm more intelligent or stronger. Instead, I aspire to be and I actually work hard in order to achieve that. I also welcome criticism, as it helps me recognize my problems and inadequacy.

    My obsession with being special, powerful, and superior

    So are you saying it's normal for young people to feel this way? Personally I think the difference is that while many teens think they're better and smarter, I work hard to be better and smarter. Also I actually developed this mindset after high school, so it doesn't seem like something that...

    My obsession with being special, powerful, and superior

    So I noticed that I have become quite obsessed with being special, powerful, and better than other people. To be more precise, I enjoy being different from other "normal people". For example I love being an Aspie, because that means I'm not like the others. Sometimes I even want people to know...

    Japan!

    I live in Taiwan, one of the neighboring countries of Japan, and I love Japan as well. Their culture, food, architecture are all so amazing!

    Having a hard time ignoring stupid people

    That sounds like a good idea. I'll start looking for alternatives for those FB pages I follow. However I believe this is still a important life lesson I must learn, to not care what ignorant people say.

    Having a hard time ignoring stupid people

    I've actually thought about that. Just like you I don't really care about what other people are doing with their life, but the problem is, I use Facebook as a information-hub (not sure how to phrase it). Basically I follow a lot of pages that I'm interested in, such as news, memes, movie...

    Having a hard time ignoring stupid people

    Online social media is in no shortage of close-minded, unreasonable, biased, or simply put, stupid, comments. I know we're supposed to just ignore them and move on, but I just can't get them out of my mind. I used to argue with these people whenever there's a chance, which is obviously very...

    I've started to care about people, and I do not like it

    I used to be pretty self-centered. I wasn't selfish, just didn't really feel connected to my family or friends. But for the past 2 or 3 years I started to put others' feelings into consideration. For example, I visit my grandparents more often knowing they enjoy my company, although I'd rather...
