Me Too!
Anybody else consider themselves as not a human being?
Because of but not limited to:
I think apart from my family/NT's
I do not find women's bodies attractive, I could care less if I ever get girlfriend or wife. I am not gay.
I speak my mind
I know now what others figure out when they are in their late 30s
I was forced to learn how to teach myself
Super Sensitive
See things as they are, not in terms of what I like or dislike
I keep my mouth shut and my opinions to myself unless someone specifically asks me
Tried red wine and crown royal, got bored of drinking it, didn't get buzzed I just got bored
I don't recall memories, only facts
I connect very well with animals
I've been the same man throughout my life, no "bitchy phase" nothing like that, the only thing that's different is I taught myself how to control my body more, and my mind
Apart from my teenage peers, I don't like cell phones, not that into computer games, not very into video games either, love extending my vocabulary
I love the winter, I don't get cold
I don't know how to feel emotion
Very good with electronics
I don't know who I am...

uh huh, yeah, I have many similar attributes to you.. Asexualism is one, and a very big one.. Especially in a world which is governed by sexual attraction, You feel less of a person.. But that is what happens when you define humanity as the majority.. I think coming here and finding I'm not alone makes my definition of humanity a little less concluded.
I hope you figure yourself out soon, because life can be amazing. ![]()
A lot of these are petty reasons to not feel human..
You think differently compared with other people. So?
You're asexual. That's nothing new to the human race.
"I know now what others figure out when they are in their late 30s " Not sure what you think you know.
Everyone feels emotions differently. Maybe you're depressed or something. That'll shut off most of the strong ones.
"I've been the same man throughout my life, no "bitchy phase" nothing like that, the only thing that's different is I taught myself how to control my body more, and my mind " ~ I feel the same way however this isn't possible unless you start counting after childhood.
Irrelevant: speak my mind/ sensitive/self-taught/alcohol/animals/electronics/preference for weather etc. Whatever man.
The only thing I'm interested in hearing more about is your memory for facts. What do you mean you don't recall memories? I mean do you remember your childhood, things like that?

Damn, you are very similar to me. I am dead serious. I actually even used to be an electronics technician. I have aspie traits, am asexual and do have alexithymia. And hot temperatures bother me way more than the cold.
The asexual and alexithymia thing can make you feel a little less human, since sexual relationships and certain emotions seem to define the common human experience. For me it was a matter of being comfortable with myself.
As for my emotions I am either feeling "good" or "bad". It is really hard to pin down to something more specific. I am also sometimes unsure why I feel good or bad. I have spent most of my life having episodic severe depressions, which has been debilitating at times.
I am 39 and have never had a desire to have a sexual relationship.
Anyway learn about yourself, and most importantly be comfortable with who you are.

I edited the original post (Because of but not limited to) I should say that on every post
No, I do not remember my childhood, I just know that it was miserable. Certain smells/aromas make me happy but I do not recall the memory. (This is probably just in my family) Most of my siblings will forget lines from movies or ingredients or where things are in the house or forget the name of a song, I can recall all of those facts: Say the line right, which ingredient, I know where everything in the house is right down to the paper clips, I know who composed whatever song and also the name of it. I like to call it Archive Memory.
