Do you wish you could experience absolutely 0 emotions?
>>82699671No, the entire point of being human is to feel feels.
>>82699671Yes, because I have hit a point in life were I feel more negative emotions then positive. I have no further use for suffering if there is no equal reward for enduring it
>>82699671>zero emotions for years at a time>brief interlude of wild passionate sex>pretend nothing ever happened, go back to being emotionlessthis seems like a nice compromise to me
>>82699671There is no feeling worse than no feelingIt is worse than death for the dead dont have the human reason to regret
>>82699671It would have to include alienation, if at some deep level I realized that I was different from others and it made me sad, then it doesn't count. Also I can't feel annoyance at normies being normies. To be frank, I think the only way this could be possible is very severe mental retardation, but even then they have needs. Like is hunger an emotion? Its certainly uncomfortable. If I'm except from hunger and pain as well then it's more than just retardation, its probably closer to being dead. It's not clear where thought and intelligence ends and emotion begins...so I think I will pass. I gotta go back to that place anyways, not yet.
>>82699671That's terrible you don't want that.
>>82699671No, it has happened to me for a while I think as a way to cope with the sadness I felt during a particular time of my life, and honestly it's kinda terrible.
I keep saying I want to, but when I get the opportunity to destroy my emotions (taking SSRIs) I end up getting cold feet. Maybe I secretly like having emotions no matter how painful they are
>>82699671YES! Everything sucks so bad I just want to stop feeling before I do something really bad.>>82701464Please elaborate.
>>82701475did it get easier when you accepted them?
>>82699671yes, very often. though i think that would also make me die just as much as feeling too many strong emotions already does.
>>82701494>Please elaborate.Idk it feels like nothing. I just couldn't feel anything. I couldn't be melancholic, I couldn't really be happy, nor sad. I couldn't make up beautiful scenarios in my head. I couldn't give a shit about anything in stories. Basically you're just out of coping mechanism and just go on living like an automaton. You just live, that's it. Idk what to tell you.
>>82701542So, just a very neutral state of being? Sounds like what we are looking for here, surely better than perpetual state of anxiety, would you not agree?
>>82699671I wish it was toggleable. I guess it technically is with the use of some narcotics, but I wish I could create goals and plans while having emotions and then carry them out without the impediment of emotion. Just ruthless, unfeeling calculation like a computer.
>>82701578>surely better than perpetual state of anxiety, would you not agree?Not really because for you to enjoy copes they have to produce some sort of emotions inside of you. It's a perpetual state of blankness and aimlessness. Why get up in the morning? Why brush my teeth? Why try? Why not kill myself? What difference would it make? Why get children? A wife? I don't know. It doesn't matter. Girlfriend magically falls into my lap from the heavens? Alright, too bad I can't love.You just stare blankly at everything with dead fish eyes.Maybe that sounds fun to you, but you wouldn't even be able to tell. And I'm guessing true lack of emotions would also need lack of need (maybe). And I didn't have that. I wished for my emotions to come back constantly because I was barely a human.Honestly just remove shame from my body and I'm gucci, and I'd guess it's the case for most people (also removing anxiety would indeed be a godsend). The rest is overkill.
>>82699671No I wished I could feel more. I want to have empathy and be kinder and live a intense life
>>82701623This guy gets it. Feeling more is better, psychopaths do crazy things just to feel something. Not feeling things sucks
>>82701632Feeling nothing makes thing more boring and bleak. I dont get these edgelords. I want to stop faking and feel actual real things
>>82701652Yeah I hate faking too, I fake emotions all the time around normalfags, it's grim
>>82699671I read a lot of chinese cultivation novels and there is usually someone in it who practices some form of emotionless detachment from the world.Yes, I do wish I could experience no emotions.
>>82701663yeah its time consuming and it takes just a lot of energy. Hope it goes away though
>>82699671Nope, having emotions is what makes ne humanGrass is always greener, manI had a fucked up childhood, and sometimes when it gets too much I disassociate/derealize and I go through 0 emotions Like, I still function and everything, maybe even better since I don't have anymore emotions to impede meBut it's fully autopilot and when I snap out of it, could be 1-2 weeks later, I genuinely don't remember any of it
>>82701712The Human brain is fascinating, we all have our own unique ways in which our brains cope and I don't understand any of it
for everyone itt who wants to reach a state of 0 emotions just do a gram of liberty cap shrooms, dont have to trip but theres always a part of it where you experience complete 0 emotions and its the most peaceful thing to experience, can have some really good thoughts like that and its like your brain gets taken out of your human experience for a bit. If you want to transcend this reality completely do DMT or take a very high dose of liberty caps. I'm not a regular shroom user but I have before and its cool to gain a whole new perspective, I once completely died and shed my human body and mind and entered what can only be described as a dimension of pure energy, no 3d, no structure just energy and other beings of energy, forgot I had ever been a human or what earth or our reality even was, no time either.
>>82701616>Maybe that sounds fun to youNo. It sounds liberating.
>>82701733That's the fun part about living imoAlso why I like to go out and talk to randos just like I do here, everyone's got a pretty unique lens on how they view lifeBack on my disassociation/derealization, when I say autopilot, I meant thatI've driven 10-12 hours non-stop one-wayI kept my cool in a few arguments, manage to comfort a few folks when they were grievingSomething about not showing emotions makes folk think you're some kind of "rock" so they lean on you for cover, and I've covered so many folks
