i am completely incapable of feeling anything beyond indifference

Maybe you just haven't met any worthwhile people.

but i have met people that i think are funny, or cool, or interesting. it's sort of like i can feel positive emotions towards the things that people do, but can't actually find any meaningful connection with them.

i don't think the problem is the people around me, honestly. i find it really hard to believe that everyone i've interacted with is a vapid shell.

people feel connected to me, i just fake everything back. it feels empty and cruel.

Do you remember a time when you did feel genuine connection to somebody?

>>17817238
Are you me?

Bump for interest.

The fact that you do find people fun, cool and interesting does indicate that you're not entirely indifferent. But actually bonding with someone is about more than just finding them cool, there has to be a connection and certain level of understanding that is mostly born out of similar life experiences, world views and interests. I'm 26 myself and throughout my life I've met two people I've actually connected with and one of those is my sibling I grew up with. Other people I find tolerable, if a bit dull. I honestly don't think there's anything wrong with you, but you just haven't come across anyone you really click with. Just keep meeting people and giving them a fair chance by getting to know them.

This is fair advice. I suppose some people are just more emotional or empathetic than others
