Last week a neighbour died of old age. He has been a family friend for almost 25 years (so pretty much my whole life) but I feel nothing. It was the same when my grandparents died and is always the same when people tell me they or loved ones suffer...

Numbness can come with depression, physical illnesses like diabetes or thyroid..

Psychopaths cannot experience guilt (not all feelings). Your lack of sadness makes you uncomfortable, a psychopath wouldn't feel this way. They may only be uncomfortable because they needed to imitate the feeling for a goal and they failed at that. You display and displayed guilt before.

@Miram I'm physically healthy. You could be right about depression though my grandparents died long before I started suffering from it.
But I don't seem to be a psychopath and that's good to know.

Some medications can blunt emotions and empathy. I was drugged at my mom's funeral, didn't cry & felt numb. I've read that common painkillers and allergy medications can blunt empathy not to mention pharmaceuticals that effect moods, etc.

I can sorta relate except I get super emotional for fictional deaths. Real people just don't bring out those same emotions.

@Zelllambert Fictional deaths don't "do it" for me either. I can't take seeing animals die though. Makes me super emotional.

Animals are good at making people sad. I think I'd rather have time off to recover from a pets death rather than a person's funeral.

@Zelllambert Me too.

You are a psychopath? Just a thought to ponder.

cheesyAF · 31-35, M

@GoldButterfly Maybe.🤔

@cheesyAF being a psychopath does not means you are a killer. It just means you can't feel.

@GoldButterfly I know.🙂
