Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hello, most of you probably don't know me, or have seen me around.
I'm Claryssa, just for the record. neutral
I didn't feel as if this was... suited for the main forum page, so I ran off to the Chatterbox.
In any case, I feel terribly out of place all the time. Not like the "I don't belong!" stuff, so much as personally, though I have similar intrests and whatnot with people, I feel no connection. My Mom sometimes calls me heartless because I don't have any -click- or sense of even existing with everyone the way she does. I always feel cold, and when I act out it's not based on how I feel. Generally, I don't feel anything about the subject I am responding to.
Dissasociation. Maybe I just need to go outside and sit in the sun or something, because I seriously feel like no one else is here. It's lonely in an odd way.

Is this apathy?

People have told me to "open my heart to God" because I am so empty. That really doesn't do anything for me, i'm afraid, so i've tried going back to my books. I feel like i'm slipping into nothing. o.O
I don't mean to sound so "emo" but i'm just describing how I feel. xD
Just for the record i'm not, and never will be emo. Not that I have anything against 'emo' people, it's just not me.
In any case, any words you have to share? Have you ever gone through a stage of complete cold? Did it ever go away? What would you call this?

xd I know. That was from my ex. v_v;

Just start talking to someone randomly, they don't have to have the same interests, most of my best friends are nothing like me, i find them intrigueing...

The more you talk to that person the better relationship you will have, i don't click with people either, i just start talking to someone, and as i get to know them, they become.

As far as no feelings...i am the same. It just means that other things are more interesting and that your thoughts on the topic aren't exactly priority....?

O.o, books are good, reading a lot though is a little off putting because the people in books are always romanticised, their emotions are exaggerated making normal people feel numb and bland..... stare ....reading is fun though.... question

The cold stage is what i call being numb....you don't care about anything because it doesn't have any significance to you...and even if it does, you hold something else in higher priority....It'll pass, you just need to associate with someone who interests you....you don't have to like them at first, but if you want to know more about them then thats a start...

Wow that was a lot of words.... 4laugh

I actually experienced a sort of similar feeling not too long ago. I felt really disconnected from my friends. It was hard to me to say thoughtful things like "I miss you," etc etc. I think what cured my issue was starting college and meeting new people. It seems like it's too simple, really, just talking to someone different, but sometimes it can help.
