I don't have many interests at all. I couldn't name one thing I 'liked'.

Its hard to talk to people about pretty much anything since I really just don't care.

The no emotion thing is true for the most part, with few exceptions: I feel anxiety. I feel anger when people are ignorant. And, I feel hatred towards people with no sense of logic.

I suppose I'd consider myself asexual. I can see the physical attractiveness of a person, but emotionally there is nothing.

Anybody else? I feel alone on most of this stuff... Maybe I'm defective.

I have many interests, but as you, I have very little emotion. Also, I don't hate others who think differently. Hopefully, logic and reason can be taught.

Do you control your anger, well ?

You aren't defective Shapes. It is very important to understand that not wanting to have physical relationships is not an aberrant attitude.

Sexuality isn't a set of defined groups, not really. People who don't desire a physical relationship aren't freaks, we're just a part of the spectrum.

You're not defective. Everyone has strange stuff about them. The more I read around on this site, the more I come to realize that there are lots of people out there that are different. I used to think that I was defective too.. But after finding this site I don't feel so alone..

So strange, reading what's been only in you head for so long. Though, I can easily fake emotions, so I tend to be more of a covert schizoid (I suggest looking a Wikipedia for more accurate representations of Schizoid disorder, to see what you relate to). Though I have found "salvation" in music; playing and listening to it is one of the few things I truly care about. Being indifferent towards everything else has effected my academic career; I know not what I want to do with my life, and can't care enough to make an effort.

I feel very similarly to you Shapes if that makes you feel any better. I have no motivation to really do anything, I feel like my life has no direction. I can't make even the smallest decision I'm attracted to people sure but emotionally I just don't think I'm "normal" enough for relationships, I just don't have enough emotions to really engage.

I met this really cute guy who messaged me for months and I had a lot of friends who were envious, theoretically I thought it might be nice to be in a relationship with him but the way I am I just wanted him to forget about me and leave me alone. I hated seeing I'd received messages from him and eventually just started to ignore him all together.

I love being alone all day but it does feel unhealthy at times. I guess I do want a relationship but the way I am I just can't bring myself to engage or not default to wanting to avoid the person. The strange thing is that my social skills are fine I know what to say, how to be charismatic, flirt, etc. I can be normal the day of if I'm in a social setting its retaining anything for longer then that one meeting that is rare.

I'm fortunate I have friends who drag me along though because as much as I'd rather stay home I think I'd be a lot worse off if it wasn't for them.
