I'm an 18 year old male who has suffered from a lack of emotions for a long time. I'm curious to know why that is. The only true emotion I know is anger. I don't have any medical history of anger problems or anything. My grandfather was a schizophrenic, my dad has shown no signs of schizophrenia. When I went to therapy they said I would "open up" in a few years. That was when I was 12.
I've always been intelligent, High School drama never effected nor has any family drama, I was the only one not crying at my grandfathers recent funeral.
Just looking for advice.

dearcandore answered Tuesday October 5 2010, 6:00 pm: I had this exact issue. In my case, it stemmed from never being allowed to tell my family what I was going through. I was abused by my stepfather, but when I tried to tell my Dad he would always cut me off and say" Oh, I suppose you're going to tell me how hard your life is now, huh?" So that had a long term impact with how I expressed myself. I guess my brain just figured out it would be easier not to feel anything than to be rejected for my feelings. When I became a Christian I was able to be healed from a lot of that, and I surrounded myself with good people who I wanted to be like. It helped me alot, but I think I finally learned how to fully deal with it when I went to therapy a few years ago. I feel a lot more these days! So, I don't know if that helps at all or makes any difference to you, but at least you know you're not alone. [ dearcandore's advice column | Ask dearcandore A Question ]
