It hurt a little. I'm confused as to how to respond.

I know how that feels

one day I was taking a walk with my brother and he said he was "concerned I don't feel enough emotions" I told him I didn't know how to respond to that and he just said "exactly"

but I'm not asexual, so I guess I don't get it fully, but I feel like asexuals get way to much hate

I get the question a lot because of my very "blank" nature. It comes from being Autistic as well.

Lol. My bestie said to me “bro, you’re like a computer. Everything you say is like a computer. Like Data from Star Trek. Stop that.”

This was early in my sobriety, I had about 2 years at the time, I’m in my 8th year now.
I found out over my years in recovery that I responded that way because I was afraid of my feelings for 1. After all, I’d suppressed them with drugs and alcohol for 35 years because I have as afraid of them and didn’t know what to do with them or how to have them and actually experience them.
And 2. After 35 years of alcohol and drug abuse, I really didn’t know what my feelings even were. They were so mixed and jumbled and confused that I couldn’t even identify them. I still have trouble today sometimes.

oh no

I don't show very much emotion when sober. But I still feel things. My friend asked me this question because they are upset with me. I do not know how to reply.

wait your 16-

17 actually.

ok then

And yes I am addicted to Marijuana. I know it is a problem but I feel it is necessary for my high anxiety levels.

Tell them "I may be emotionless, but the emotion I'm feeling right now is rage"
I just thought that was witty, but it was cringe af

Ha. Thanks.

I'm a very emotional person(unfortunately-), but I hide it a lot, so I don't know what others think of me
