Do I have no emotion whatsoever?

Post Reply New Topic

I was at work today and sliced open and took off the tip of my finger.
I was walking back to my partner about to say something when I noticed my finger bleedingf profusely. I didn't feel it, I didn't even notice it had happened. Oh my god, do I not feel anything.
Christ my wife is going off on a major one today about how I don't know her and how much of a s**t I am for criticising her all the time and I how I don't do this and don't do that, meanwhile I am sitting there looking at my finger and my fingers kinda wondering why I didn't notice.
I am sorry for the rant it's just, f**k I don't even feel real pain. What is up with me?
I wrote a huge list of why I am sorry for being me but it's like supposed to be 50/50 right?
I never get a letter from her saying sorry for the intrusion, sorry for not leaving you alone even when you say 'leave me alone'
I am worried cause if I don't feel emotion how am I supposed to maintain meaningful relationships throughout my life?
Blah blah blah thats all I do !
Going to shower with my arm held above my head cause I have no waterproof plasters!

step one; stop the bleeding. What you're describing is mild shock; I did that once in a (stupid) weight lifting accident. Fortunately I was in a hotel at the time, and they called 911. Unfortunately, I got the bill...

As for the rest, maybe you need to meet her on some neutral ground. I've been told women love to talk (well, some do, some don't), maybe you can work out what's going on. Good luck.

From what I read here, it seems you have lots of emotions. It does seem like you might have trouble recognizing them.
Often I will be angry or anxious without having any idea I am, and thinking I am calm until a minute stimulus makes me wildly overreact and I and everyone around me wonders what happened.
