  • Hey Guest,

    As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. The UK and OFCOM has singled out this community and have been focusing its censorship efforts here. It takes a good amount of resources to maintain the infrastructure for our community and to resist this censorship. We would appreciate any and all donations.

My apathy has continuously gotten worse for all of my life and recently it's gotten to a point where i cannot care about others anymore. A while ago I was with family and that was nice but now that I'm home again i don't think about them at all. It's not like I have a busy life or anything either, my mind just feels empty. I used to have close contact with friends from highschool. Used to talk to them almost everyday online and we'd meet up every month or so. But 6 months ago smth suddenly changed. I felt so empty and while being around those friends and family i was just pretending. I suddenly got no joy from doing anything with them anymore, and i honestly didn't care about anything they had to say. idk why i suddenly became like this but I suppose i have always been getting worse.
i have slowly lost contact with friends and family has been a lot less too. When my grandma died a month ago i felt nothing. I was very close to her, the first several years of my childhood we lived with her and after my family moved out we'd still see her at least once a week ussually more. i dont know what is wrong with me. Is this just a symptom of depression or if its something worse. I don't miss people anymore but i miss missing them I guess. I miss that feeling I used to have, where I'd wonder how someone was doing and care about what they had to say. Now I just pretend. And I'm honestly growing tired of it. I don't feel human anymore.

Anyone else dealt with anything similar? Is there a point to life if you can't care about other people?

Yes, I've lived like this my whole life. There hasn't been a moment when I became like this. It's probably harder for you because you're not used to it. I spend a lot of time with people, but I don't care about them, I go for walks, exercise, read books, work, play video games. I can't cry at a friend's funeral, but I can give such a touching speech that everyone else will cry.
There are many things in the world besides caring for others. Your value is not equal to your usefulness to other people.

I'm dealing with this right now, to a lesser extent.
