I feel like I can't love sometimes. Even my parents, who are loving and compassionate, generate no emotions from me and I don't know why. I know I'm lonely and I want female affection, but I'm scared that I will never be able to feel or show my feelings the way everyone else does.


I am the same regarding my parents. They are very supportive, and sometimes quite understanding (to the degree that they can understand, which seems like less and less these days), yet I do not feel any strong emotions toward them. I don't say NO emotions, since I feel some degree of emotion to anyone who is familiar and/or I know I can trust very well, and they are far and away the most like this of anyone I know.

As for you not feeling like everyone else toward women, is that a bad thing? To me it is bad only to the extent that a woman may not accept me unless I show the kind of feelings she expects from me. I should have no problem hugging, kissing, or otherwise being physically intimate in a satisfactory way, especially if I treat her reactions as a learning experience. I also can feel quite passionate, and I at least hope it will show. The problem will be with more social-type interaction, and with whatever feelings I do NOT feel toward others that the average guy does.

If people accept me regardless, I LIKE not feeling the same as everyone else.
