About kittenlover2000
I'll answer question on pretty much anything, though as I'm studying psychology and from past experience, I'm best at answering questions about love life, mental illness as well as giving career advice or job advice. I am also really into fashion and love these types of questions!. Oh and any pet help...
I have an average rating of 4.5 on here. Only inbox me questions that are short please and not about death/suicide. Honestly, there's nothing more dull that opening your inbox to 'I want to die'.
Anyway, ask away and I'll try to help out :)

Over the last few years i've become increasing `cold-hearted`and i just simply don't care about things anymore for example:
starving children in 3rd world countries
just don't care one bit
This is starting to really irritate me because I'm keeping everyone at arms length, on top of that small things like my brother not eating at the dinner table causes me to get angry (chest hurts)
I just want to know if i'm stressed? psychotic? or just going through a phase?
Many thanks if you've read this

When we see people suffering all the time on the news e.g in Syria, after a while we just become desensitized to it. We switch off, because its nothing new.
Okay, so you have physical symptoms because of this-so its probably time to speak to a doctor. I or my fellow advice givers are not doctors, but it could be stress. I had a spout of anxiety and yes you feel numb, as if there is a shield that's stopping you laughing, crying etc.
I am not qualified to make a medical diagnosis, but it sounds similar to depression, which is closely linked with anxiety.
It can just be a spout of it-depression is an illness that despite common belief is not the sufferers fault.
I would speak to a doctor, catching whatever you have early and getting help early will make it easier for you to control the issue, before it manifests itself into something uncontrollable.
Good luck :) Whilst you wait for an appointment, check out 'MoodJuice' online. Great self help resources for you to help yourself with your problem. Perhaps its best to, to not stress over the fact you're dead emotionally. By accepting the feeling and not letting it bug you, you are successfully controlling your emotions. This is something that counsellors will teach you to do.
Good luck :)
