emotions and autism?

Post Reply New Topic

Do you always feel emotion or are there times you don't feel anything at all? As in total apathy?






Also I like your Sonic plushie. I had that same one but I lost it :/

Wherever I am frustrated I cannot control my emotions. I can control what I say to someone, if they are on the phone (sometimes). I have a harder time in person, I have to get away from them. I get frustrated alot and rage around for awhile or if it gets real bad I have to bang my fists on the counter or my head. I can't talk anymore or understand anything when I feel like this. Nothing is processed properly when I am upset. I start stuttering or can't talk at all and it feels like my head is going to explode. It has always been this way but I have changed how I act out.

Emotion all the time of some sort or another.

what are your emotions like when something really bad happind
i often have no emotions i dont now how to act!

My emotions are weird - sometimes I get really strong emotions but other times I feel nothing or get confused and don't know how to feel.

I cry when I am frustrated- can't understand some concept, can't fix a situation.

When 9/11 happened I felt like crying cuz I was scared I was gonna get bombed since I lived near DC. I couldn't eat for like a day. I decided I should go to Ground Zero to inspect what had happened and get a feel for it. It was more out of disbelief that something like that could have happened, not real empathy.

I have only ever felt true true sadness on two occasions I can remember: 1) a friend I really liked more than a friend couldn't take it and decided to stop being friends with me 2) my cat died after I took her to the hospital to get shots

On both of these occasions I felt that what happened had been my fault.

thats just how i feel

I agree with buryuntime thats I cant really describe in words either and I do what they do.

I just cant control my emotions at all. They go in a pattern, First anger, sad usually end up bawling my eyes out then happy and become silly until something sets me off again. I meltdown a lot at work I have to hide it but at home it just comes out it makes life interesting.

I don't really have emotions. Occasionally I'll feel anger or frustration, but generally I just am.

If someone asks how I am doing, I never know how to answer. I'm not happy or joyful or sad or anything. I just am.

What are "emotions"? Just kidding... I have them but they confuse me and it's a lot of effort to work them out, or display them and when I do try to show them, I'm fairly certain I get that part wrong.

Up until I was 14 I would cry over the slightest thing that went wrong but then after I aged 15 I lost all of my sad emotions, I still get extremely excited though, so I guess that's good.
