Another nice thing, is that I don't catch feelings easily like in my past. I'm more selective

But the problem is that I still get hurt.

But the good thing is that I recover fast, and even find humor in some situations.

I find I hurt less and less the more people that hurt me and I’ve just accepted most people don’t care about my feelings, or me at all. I rarely catch feelings anymore. I know nobody is interested in the real me because they act like they’re in love before they even know me.

I’m glad you’re sorting through all of it, takes some heartache

At least that way you know you still care and have something to give to another person emotionally.
I'm starting to be worried how easy it's to let someone out of my head. People come, people go.

@SW-User I feel like I can't care the way or in the intensity most people care about each other. Also even if I think I care, my actions often don't show it so I wonder if I really do anymore.
Overall, I feel like I used to be much more emotionally invested in other people when I was younger.

I guess I need to give an example because it's not very clear. So for example, I used to be happy about giving presents to those I liked. I almost don't care anymore, it's a chore, if someone looks happy that I gave them something I'm glad but in a second I'm like okay, whatever. It used to make me really happy in past, like made my day.

Also I see how people get attached online and can't relate. I don't understand it. I like some people but don't have any desire to come too close and make friendships or some sorts of bonds.
But that's online, it at least makes some sense to me.

@CrazyMusicLover at least you're honest about it and don't play mind games

@SW-User Yes but I hate that it seems I've become (or on the way there) what lately repulsed me in others. Who wants to hear "I didn't miss you while you were gone." "I don't feel as much as you do." ? Like..it IS repulsive to a normal feeling person.

You sound like an empath. I am one too even though what I write here might not seem it

@Slade kinda a curse, but at least I have good intuition

@SW-User dogs and little kids seek me out. That's the best way to know you,'re good hearted since they only do instinct.

I'll bet they do you as well
