I would have thought that would be a fairer way of doing it.

The thing is, they expected good behavior from me, as if it's their birthright, rather than an expectation. So the reward() function, as well as the cout<<"Bad boy!" statement, would be redundant in my case. So me not doing what they want was like taking away a birthright (like Esau sold his birthright to Jacob for pottage). And like Esau, they'd get angry. Sad, really.

We do not desire to experience emotions. Emotions are a sign of imperfection.

They either say that I'm cold, don't care about anyone but myself (not true, I just don't know how to show it well) and unemotional, OR they say that I'm TOO emotional and easily affected by little things. Can't win!! :oops:

I am shy at times, but if someone gets me going, I am really overemotional.

I am a person of opposites.

I am either totally without emotion or having everyone that exists. :twisted:

I have sometimes described as unemotional but really I do have emotions tho.

Yes- my mother sometimes yells at me for having "a lack of affect". Guilty as charged, I'm afraid.

I was completely unemotional. Except for meltdowns. Then I hit puberty and got diagnosed and put on antipsychotics I don’t know whish one caused it but now I have more emotions then I can control but I still don’t get empathy

Quote:

I got told once that I was the type of person for whom they'd say, afterwards, "But she was always so quiet..." Twisted Evil It was actually pretty close to the truth

-lol my mum always sais if I ever go on a killing spree and they interview any one I know on TV they are all going to say it was not a big surprise and they were waiting for me to crack.

Quote:

My mom tells me things I dont care about and when I say "I don't care" she says "oooooh sombodys crankkk-eeeee",and I'm looking around wondering who

Me to all the time
