I just don't feel anything anymore, I love my family and friends and pets and such, but I'm honestly scared I lack empathy in a meaningful capacity. It's a long story about me trying to transcend or breakthrough or whatever buzzwords you wanna use and I guess I wasn't strong enough or I didn't want to see what was outside myself clearly, now it's all fucked. I need to feel again or else I'll never be able to support the people I care about.
>>34056902Chimpanzees often feel real bad if they're exiled or too low status or in a highly unstable tribe, but if they find new Chimpanzees to make a tribe with they often return to normal hormonal and neurotransmitter levels .
>>34056902I grew more sensitive as I grew older, I was very cold when I was about 20, numbed by all my cold studies I imagine. Now I'm 26, and I cry to very simple honest displays of love, but it still has to be sincere, I'm not talking about performative melodrama that plagues this world.

>>34056902>I love my family and friends and pets and such,Sounds to me like you are low key depressed. And given the time of the year, this is not surprising. Get some vitamine D into you. Get some exercise. Lay off the doom scrolling.
>>34056902i have this too, don't know what to do about it. Mental illness as a man is non-existent, no one cares to treat it, just to fleece off another layer of your wallet. I really hate being alive but the grey matter doesn't let me become a hero
feelings were meant to be hidden dumb bass or else they would be called outbursts
>>34056902I understand, I don't really have an answer but if I was to try anyway.Be kind to yourself, you do care in that you care that you don't.It's helpful to understand some of the things I'm sure you gleamed but in the end thinking about these things aren't necessarily a good way to happiness.Life can be simple and easy, it's better to focus on what we have in common rather than to focus on the distance that sets us apart, to focus on what we can do instead of what we can't change.Probably have to make peace with whatever made you want to transcend to begin with and move on. Accept yourself and the environment while defining your place in it for yourself.
