AIBU to think some people just don't feel emotions in the same way as others ?

[pawpatrolsghost]

I have a nice life, I am generally happy, a nice husband, a large family of children who are healthy and generally well behaved. Yet, I don't ever feel like I enjoy anything or get excited about anything. I just exist doing things.

To clarify I don't feel depressed, I don't feel unhappy , I just never feel particularly anything and can't remember a time when I have.

Aibu to think I can't be the only unfeeling robot in the world?

I’m the same OP. The only thing that gives me genuine joy is seeing my son happy and achieving things, because that’s a source of reassurance. Other than that my ambivalence doesn’t bother me, I’m not unhappy, it’s just how I am

I sometimes notice I feel that way, like doing things/milestones or in general look forward to things but they don't fill me up with glee.

It's all a bit meh, of course I am happy in general and have happy fun moments but they are just moments, they don't stay with me.

I can laugh until I cry so I'm not completely devoid of emotion I think.

People are different and that's just how it is. My dm and dd are both very intense people: they can get happier than anybody else I know, enjoy themselves more, but also get incredibly unhappy and often doubt themselves. I'm more in the middle. Sometimes I've thought must be fun to be like them but then again, as dd says "it's hard work being me".

I'm the same. I adore my children, and the thought of anything happening to them is unbearable. However that's as far as it gies. Wedding? Had a nice day. But not the, bursting intoi tears, best day of my life type. I just don'[t do that level of emotionl

I just don't seem to care as much as other people.

Most people seem so up and down to me and I find it largely incomprehensible.

I think we're all different. Some people "emote" more, some genuinely feel more, some less. Don't let it get you down- you're you, and your feelings or lack of them are as valid as anyone else's.
