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?
This would be called Emotinal Detachment or Emotional Blunting. It is associated with several mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia, and it can be developed as a coping mechanism for a stressful or abusive childhood or past. It can also develop as a side effect for some medications, so it could be worth looking info a change in prescriptions if you think that could be relevant.
That is to say, it is an abnormal mental state, but you are not unique in this mindset. You should strongly consider reaching out to a mental health professional to see if you can work on this as it is likely to lead to more isolation and a worsening of your overall well-being.
A someone with anxiety and depression, I think I have this.
I can’t be bothered with worrying about everyone else’s well-being, when every waking moment I’m just one bad day away from having a complete mental breakdown. I simply do not have the emotional stability to handle anyone else’s drama.
When I told my psychologist this, their only response was “you’re fine; you clearly have empathy”. So I went to another, and another, who both said the same thing. So I stopped going. The pills don’t work anyway so I was just wasting my money.
I wish I could afford a therapist.
