Lack of Emotions
14 Male
Or. Lack there of as the case may be. I Have only noticed my lack of emotion very recently but looking back it must have been going on for months. Now there is emotion I'm not saying I'm completely devoid of this aspect of human existence but I only feel the strongest ones and they come down on me like a tonne of bricks.
The most clearest being Dread, and I don't feel it all the time it's not a constant sense of impending doom (a story for another time) but almost how an animal must feel when there is no way out but through. Like once I've done something wrong and have been caught out for example.
I know right from wrong but the emotions Tied to them (guilt etc.) seemed to have floated away.
An example I recently asked someone out and as they ummed and erred I didn't feel worried etc. I just stood and waited went through a text with out so much as a shrug, when he (oh yes there's more) started ignoring me? Nothing.
There are nuances I won't go through now you've read enough. Thanks for reading this much if you have any advice (save seek therapy etc.)
I would be thankfull.
Yours Faithfully
Someone needing "help."

It's always tough to answer these questions, when the only real advice to give is the one thing they ask you not to say.
A therapist is going to be able to give you the best guidance and advice. We simply don't have the information or the skill to help much.
There are lots of reasons a person can experience emotional deadening or numbness - especially as a teenager. Sometimes, it's a normal and natural response to stress or difficult times in our lives, but that doesn't mean it is something you should ignore or live with - especially if it a change that came over you recently. If you realized you had slowly lost all feeling in your right arm over the last few months you'd see a doctor - right? The same principle applies here.
Please, speak to a therapist or counsellor. Of course you don't want one that is obsessed with applying a label to you - and most I've met don't operate that way - but you do want someone to talk to about these experiences.

You mentioned nothing of trying to self diagnose your situation or condition. Likely because even if you had tried, you would see that there are many similarities between mental disorders. I have read about a lot of them having an ex who had one and a friend who had one and it was a process of their doctors narrowing down over time what they might be plagued with, if labels matter that much to you. What they are most concerned with is what treatments you respond best with, no matter what disorders they are used for.
If this is bothering you enough that you cant ignore it or let it rest, then I Suggest you see a mental health official as we here at advicenators are not.
