Feeling like going from being empathetic to apathetic?

Post Reply New Topic

Anyone here who has aspergers has there been one point at your life that you felt going form being empathetic to thinking of being apathetic?

If so when did it start and what age if you don't mind mentioning?

When did you go back feeling empathetic?

Since currently I feel like I'm depressed over the things that have happened and taken place of the last months.I feel like I have no interest in myself anymore.But I still want for the best for other people.

Why exactly do you want to go to apathetic? Personally Id like to be empathetic to the point where I recognize much better person is thinking and feeling. As for feeling what the persons feeling...I am very emotionally removed from the situation, its just how I am. Admittedly I think with my levels of anxiety, stressors as it is, getting emotionally involved in other peoples issues would drive me absolutely crazy.

Meh... I've fluctuated back and forth. Sometimes it depends on the situation. At particularly challenging times I've become totally apathic but, since the birth of my daighter, I've remained empathic no matter the circumstances.

The only thing I can really count on in life is that my opinion will change.

Mostly when I am tired or overstressed, I become apathetic. For example, I am working on a difficult painting right now, and it is absorbing all my energy and concentration, so I feel apathetic towards everything else in my life. It is one of the dangers of having special interests. Having been through this before, I know things will get better when my project is finished. Then I will have more energy for other aspects of life.
