I have found that i can't feel anything. Why is that?
I read the earlier posts on emotionlessness and saw that some of the things put down were similar to what I'm going through. Sometimes, I find my self crying with out actually knowing why. I put on a mask everyday to play that body I walk around in. I tred explaining it to my mom but it took a while. It's sort of like never being able to be hurt by anything but then,... never being able to be truly happy. I can't remember the last time I have felt happy and I'm afraid that I never had that emotion in the first place. What if I never know what it feels like to be happy. I want my emotions back and there may be a few reasons why I don't have them. My life hasn't been all fun and games as my outward mask feigns it was. I had a father who neglected me and stepmothers who caused me both physical and emotional pain. In the end, my father dropped me off at a daycare center where i had spent most of my childhood at. Now I'm adopted but I don't think i came out of it all unscathed. If thats where my emotionlessness came from than how do i get it back? Oh and don't bother trying to contact my email. It's bumb anyway.

I know what you mean. Like you have been damaged and the results is an emotional numbness nobody can understand and you cant describe it. But it envelopes your whole life and cripples any social interaction. I only know of two solutions, a near death experience that will refill your zest for life, or going all the way and ending it.

Dear I have found that i can't feel anything,
You are so sad, yet you say that you cannot feel anything. You feel sadness. It is a sadness for something that is missing from your life. There is a bitter emptiness filling the space where the parent's love should sit. Your emotional state is a result of your social programming.
It is true, you never had the emotion in the first place. It is the result of not having the close loving connection with a mom and dad. It is true of most children that have two parents, but spend all day in school, daycare, or the care of complete strangers.
You do not need a therapist to help you relive and revive past issues that cause you to cry. They will also want to put on pills that will increase your negative thoughts and change your natural body chemistry in a negative way.
Crying is a healthy release of unspent negative energy. However, it is not healthy to cry all the time. Your emptiness will consume you.
Do not dwell on being dumped by stupid people. Do not get caught up in the programming that comes with being raised by strangers. You have the capacity to love, otherwise you would not cry at all. You would be numb, indifferent, and emotionless. Sadness is an emotion that indicates the capacity for love. You do feel, you are not emotionless, you are sad. You are not alone.
It may help you to look into exactly how many others like you are victims of a system designed to separate the family units. You are the victim of a grand scheme. Instead of seeking therapy that will increase the focus on your sadness ten fold, and get you hooked on some dangerous chemicals;you should look to future and focus on filling your emptiness with love.
I am sure that you have learned to keep to yourself, fend for yourself, and put on a happy face. These are important character traits. You should not condemn yourself for this. I am sure you feel unwanted and abandoned. Who would not feel that way? Your feelings are natural and you must work through them with a clear mind, wise choices, and knowledge.
Start looking into subjects like inflation, money mechanics, fractional reserve banking, world reserve currencies, socialism, fascism, the communist manifesto and the differences between a monarchy, an empire, a democracy, and a republic.
After you have researched these subjects, go to inforwars.com or prisonplanet.com and browse or listen to the radio shows. You need to know what the real world has in store for us.
Your sadness can be replaced with love from any source you choose. Your adopted parents, a pet, a plant, or a friend. You are intelligent, and I have faith that you will overcome this challenge and grow stronger from it.
I am here anytime you need me.
Good Luck!

Hi, I'm old enough to be your grandfather and hopefully the wisdom of my age can be of help.
First none of the advisers see your email address. We ask for your email address only so you can be alerted that an adviser has answered you. By using a fake address you need to monitore for any answers.
I am truly hurt by the childhood you have had. The fact that you have been adopted means that you are also very special to the people who have adopted you.
I don't say this just to make you feel good. I have a cousin who was adopted. My parents told me what adoption was when I was very little and he has known he was adopted since he was old enough to understand. He and I have been closer than any of my blood relatives. He is also the son of my favorite Aunt and Uncle.
I feel, from what little you have written, that you have the right to feel as you do. You can feel better about yourself. It will take time, it will take the special love of your adoptive parents and the help of a good therapist.
Talk to your parent again. Tell them you have written to us and that someone, me, has suggested that you see a therapist for help in dealing with past issues. It is going to take more than their love to help you break free of your past. You can't hide from past or bury the past, which is what your doing and why you feel this way. While you may be mildly depressed at this time, if you continue to bury these issue you will eventually become deeply depressed.
Once you find a therapist, and you may go through several, that you are comfortable with and can trust to speak openly with, you will begin to heal and fell better. You will start to get you emotions and true feelings back.
