I put it down to feelings of love being drowned out by feeling distrustful and afraid of people and generally being avoidant.
Like I still feel empathy and compassion for others but I don't feel affection.
Sometimes I feel admiration for other people but it's very intellectual. Other people can be cool but I don't think I feel care for them.
But I realised I can love cute animals like my neighbor's pet cat. I put it down to cats not being a threat. Also cats not triggering my sensory issues by being loud.
Not really sure what to think of this. Suggests to me that I should work on building confidence or by finding more peers who are similar to me (trans, ADHD, ...) and I have the ability to trust more.
Anyhow I'm not broken or anything I just have a lot of difficulty trusting people so I have difficulty being caring and forming relationships.
Not like mankind is worthy of love anyway.
Of course it is. Even if you don't believe that people as a whole are worthy for various reasons (wars, conflict, etc.), individuals certainly are.
