if you want me to be really, really honest... ive hardly felt a thing ever since i can remember


i love my mother but i cant feel my love for her truly because she did some fucked up shit to me when i was young so i have a block on it. we have a really good relationship right now but thats because i changed myself but i have a really hard time 'feeling' and when i do its really delicate, very easy to make it go numb... it usually takes just one mistake for me to stop feeling for someone no matter how much i care for them, ive learned i cant force myself to feel so i just 'ignore' that part and act like 'care=feel' since im the one with the problem

the only time i feel is with my daughter and God
i just see it as some kind of responsibility, like, whenever i have to do something with people theyre so... dense, they take so long to understand something and those who can understand always have a huge ego so whatever they grasp is pretty useless because they dont know how to use it. so its my role to 'teach them'

the same thing happens with 'protection' i see normal people as sheep and 'bad people' as children playing wolf so its my role to care for the sheep so they can be sheep in peace.

I don't honestly believe most people 'feel' all of the time. I think most people do exist in a comfortable numbness almost all of their day. It makes sense, too, since most of the day is filled up with liminal moments. Even if you're busy, once you get into the hang of things, they just kind of flow, and eventually the days blend into each other.

The feeling versus caring thing you're talking about is the difference between animal attraction and love. If you keep caring for these people, even after your passion has been turned away or off, you have to ask yourself why. Is it purely intellectual? Do you give and/or get something material out of it? Do you place personal value in your shared memories? There are many questions like this, when you confront the love that grows from mind. It is not the same as the wild reactionary and sea-deep poet of the love that grows from experiential soul. It endures in truth, in rhythms and algorithms, in results and progress, where the soul drifts with the moment, lingering in memories and visions of potential.

You feel responsibility because you care, caring is its own kind of subtle feeling in the first place, its own kind of thing. Your fucked up shit that your mother did, your feeling of care as a responsibility probably stems from you blocking out emotions but still feeling them, desiring not to feel them, and so driving yourself to put yourself and others where they're comfortable and you don't have to feel anything.

If you're very mind and not so soul in your thinking, very left and not so right brain, as it were, you're going find most people dense. Learning itself is a process and a mind thinker will naturally streamline processes. This means you probably understand better how you yourself learn and how to internalize information more quickly than most people. Most people just kind of want to exist in a comfortable present.

Also, I'm willing to bet most people are just playing dumb because most people have an ego and most people know you do too and probably think you're full of yourself and don't wanna hear it.

Assuming that it's your role to teach them anything is a bit presumptuous. More to truth, you teach everyone you meet everything you can with every encounter you have with the, whether you say anything or not.

Likewise, are you so sure those normal people are sheep? Are you so sure they're just children playing, underneath that pelt? How much do you really think you understand about the world?

You care, whether or not you feel, because the consequences of not caring are more painful than the loss of any mere momentary emotional pleasure. On some level, you are aware of this. On another, your care is exactly the thing that numbs your emotions. You stuff them down and don't allow yourself to feel, so that you can continue to care about people you don't like, who don't understand you and you don't want to understand, people who, by your own admission, abused you, because caring is survival to you. 

And you can thank your psycho, narc, machiavellian mom, for beating that mindset into your head so you would care about her even after 

>she did some fucked up shit to [you] when [you] were young so [you] have a block on it.

Why are you killing your own soul for your abuser?

>i think of things in such a way that i put them out so they can grasp 'harder' concepts through easy/simple words.
So you talk down to everyone. See
