Is it normal not to care about your friends, uncle, cousins or anyone? Like, you have friends, but you couldn’t care less about them and don’t value them. If they have kids, you don’t care about their well-being either. Basically could not give less of a fuck about anyone. You don’t care about your friends or family members at all. If they are sick, you don’t care; if they die, you don’t care. Is this normal?

    No. I don’t miss people while they are alive - I don’t need to talk to them or see them, I know they are alive, and don’t miss them somehow, yes friends, yes even my parents and siblings and grown kids, I love them but if I know they are ok that seems to be enough.

    But when they are sick or hurting I care. I want them happy and healthy and if I can help I want to.

    And when they die I miss them, so much.

    Not sure what normal is, but no that doesn’t sound normal. How do you feel about your own self? Do you care for your own body and mind?

      ADHD here. That might be related to time blindness or something.

      I’m exactly like what you describe. Went years without talking to my dad. Not because I was angry, it always felt like I just spoke to him recently and would talk again soon.

      It wasn’t until he died that I missed him.

      It’s very weird to explain to people. “I dont miss you because my brain doesn’t recognize you’ve been gone for a while. It thinks that talk we had three years ago was a couple days ago”

        Yeah my kids tell me I have ADHD, and by the current understanding of it I would agree (when I was growing up it only applied to literally hyperactive kids, I have seen some and it was extreme and disabling, they were wild and screaming, couldn’t stop moving or learn.) and certainly have not a good understanding of time at all. And it’s like I know they are ok, and that is satisfactory, I am happy if they are happy.
