I can’t feel anything

[didietoParticipant 6]

Maybe one or two times i feel love,sadness,despair or happy. However i can’t feel in general i’m just like a blank mind sometimes. And it started to create problems with some relationships with my mom for example and people sometimes tell me if i’m sad because i don’t express emotions.
Lately i have been improving my self reading and studying more, wearing better clothes,improving some social skills (which are poor)
Is it normal? If it’s not how can I fight it?

Totally normal, Men have minds that can simmer (go into neutral) sometimes I shift into neutral rather than let things rev me up. Nothing races around in circles faster than a woman’s hamster wheel brain.
In my opinion your just being manly mellow, what’s wrong with that?

i experience the same thing sometimes

MGTOW is not a movement, it is a way of life.

It is calling going numb. A large enough emotional shock can cause this, or cause a person to go into a flying rage. One or the other.

I am guessing something bad happened to you. Maybe something recently was the final straw. Though, it sounds like you have been this way for a while.

The best way to deal with this is to take things slowly in life, and focus on positive things that may make you feel better.

…you feel cornered it seems?! My advise is simple, don’t waste your time thinking about how bad things are…stand up, walk it off and never let negative Fem bulls~~~ keep you down. Smile Brother, you f~~~ing deserve it man!

But being seriously, I personally see that state of mind to something like the nirvana.

I practiced swimming for over 7 or 8 years, I stopped about 2 years ago (I’m 24) and I remember while doing long series some days, like 1500 or 2000meters non stop; feeling like in the zone, or like being in other place where i’m in armony with just myself and nothing more, without feeling tired or exhausted or anything at all.

Of course I don’t see that as a bad thing, but totally the opposite, just my 2 cents.

[ALPHA MALE!Participant 29]

…when I feel like s~~~…I pick up my bass and play till I feel right again. I use what ever talents I have to rid myself of emotions or thoughts that weigh me down. I’m sure you have talents such as you mentioned…swimming!…if it makes you feel right Brother it can’t be wrong. 🙂

I’d say it’s being jaded, kind of. Or at least not giving a f~~~. Totally normal, if you’re not some bubbly, overly enthusiastic cheerleader then you’re “depressed”. It’s normal with men, I should say. Men are ruled by logic, and women are ruled by emotions. You can see things clearly, and that upsets women, who always try to appeal to your emotional side because they can’t possibly appeal to your logical side, that’s where some relationship drama comes in.

Feminism is a movement where opinions are presented as facts and emotions are presented as evidence.

If you are anything like me, I just don’t wear my heart on my sleeve like most people seem to do. I call it contentment and self control, others assume I am depressed or tired and because I typically keep to myself I will be judged antisocial. My conversation skills are fine, so once we have to interact, people like me just fine. Let them enjoy their emotional roller coaster. I prefer stability.

Its alluded to in the other posts. But going MGTOW you are making your own way. Don’t measure yourself by the metrics set up by a gynocracy.

You say you don’t express emotions? What makes you think that? Maybe you do but others aren’t listening. Make no mistake, we are in some f~~~ed up times and there is madness all around you. When women and their interests control the dialogue and culture, whenever they aren’t satisfied is deemed a problem.

Self awareness one of the most important skills you can learn, so as long as you know whats going on with you, that is the most important.

Shutting down the brain is perfectly normal for a man, as the previous posts state. That is, it is normal if it is for an hour or two. All day is something else.

In the case of all day brain shutdown, you need to rule out depression as the cause. Also, you need to rule out vitamin deficiency as a cause.

For myself, I went through a serious bout of depression once. Getting my vitamins, etc, was a key factor in hauling me out of it. The other was focusing on goals and getting busy on them, putting my consciousness outside my own self and toward something bigger than little me.

The vitamins, etc, that worked for me are:
* All the regular vitamins, A through K (via a one a day pill or two)
* Extra vitamin B-complex — your nervous system needs it to run (another pill)
* A long list of minerals (included in my one a day pill)
* Omega-3 essential fatty acids (another pill).

After a week or two, my “depression” symptoms went away. To his day, I take two one a day’s, a B-complex, and two omega-3 pills daily after filling up with breakfast.

What you are describing is NOT A PROBLEM. Work with me for a minute…..

I’m very outgoing and generally appear positive , friendly and vivacious to people. “Peppy” – if that’s the word. Strong voice. I make an effort, maybe crack a joke, and I definitely have “personality” and a presence in a room.

But quite often I switch off and go…… “blank” — just like you.

Content and doing my thing. Idling in neutral. I have noticed this is when women start to infuriate me by asking “what’s wrong??”. But there is nothing “wrong”. I’m just not putting it out there. I’m sitting in the back seat for a change. Observing, thinking and listening.

Women do not seem to understand this. they are always taking about (and paying attention to) “personality” and what is put forth. i,e.“So-and-so has a great personality”. . But “personality” can be faked, and it washes off like make up.

There’s personality… and then there is character.
Very few people know the difference.

Personality is what you put out to show how you want to be seen by others.
Character is what other people will notice about you.

Turn on your television and you will see “personalities”, famous personalities , split personalities…. but character is what you have when you turn your television OFF. It can’t be faked.

••••••

Women are making you think there is something “wrong” with you. And you are describing the EXTERIOR things women obsess about constantly: appearances. How you appear to others. Better clothes. Social skills. etc…. this is what women use to “judge” other people. They do not look at the character.

By not displaying a put on “personality”… you make yourself difficult to figure out. Women have a very big problem with this. They want to be able to “figure you out”. So they tell you there is something wrong with you when you don’t make it easy for them.

Happens all the time.

When you don’t work your ass of to place importance on how you appear to others, people will ask you “what’s wrong” — even when nothing is wrong and you are maintaining an even strain. This is true happiness for a man. CONTENTMENT. When you are content, happiness is sure to follow. Women have no concept of what that means.

Women constantly chase “happy”… and when they are not “happy” they are miserable. On an otherwise normal day, nothing is wrong, everything is “fine”… a woman will ask “why am I not happy right now?” and she will start to RUIN the day by making herself and those around her equally as miserable……… just because she is not high on “happy”.

It’s really important to ignore female criticisms of you.
If you’re not careful, you will actually start to BELIEVE there is something “wrong” with you.

There isn’t.

When women are unable to figure you out, it’s not a flaw in YOUR character.
Try being amused and entertained by it, instead of troubled by it.

“You should really talk more!! I can’t tell what you’re thinking!! You’re not social enough!!You need more social skills!! You need to talk about your emotions more. You should wear better clothes too. You have a real problem.”

“Excellent”.

Exactly right.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

I’m starting to see what you guys are saying.And yes i’ve been going trough a lot of s~~~ for the last 4 years, mostly with my family.And in addition i’m very interested in economics and politics so yes my head is full of staff going around.
I feel like if when i finally get the chance to end up my studies and work in other country (which is a secure thing) it will be a lot easier to reach a certain level of satisfaction with my self.
