Title: Cold And Distant
Mokuren - October 12, 2007 01:17 AM (GMT)
Lately I've been feeling cold hearted and distant towards people. For instance I've never felt like I could confide in anyone about my problems and for some reason I just don't like the idea of being close to someone, and is that a bad thing. For one thing I'm not that close to any of my family at all I just feel distant from all of them. Right now I'm going through a lot of problems that I'm afraid to discuss with anyone. I feel like sometimes I just annoy my friends. I also have a bit of a tendancy to have a cold heart. And it makes me angry when people have so much people to be close to and I have no one I grew up with no one supporting me really. And I just feel guilty about being this way.

You Know i have EXACLTY the same problem. I seriously was considering seeing a shrink or somthing, becuase one second I'll be extremely happy and the next I feel so cold and out-of-place. I get the feeling that I annoy people all the time and I have a hard time trusting people in my life. I think we are this way becuase of somthing that has happened to us in the past that has left us scarred. But I am sure that there are people out there who care truely. You just need to find them.
Don't give up hope, Mokuren.
I didn't and niether should you.

I've had something like that which was caused by depression. And in your case I would say that at least to me it would appear like all your problems and especially the fact that you have not and are even afraid to talk about them have caused a mild case of depression. The symptoms are all there. Guilt, anger and the desire to be alone.
It's quite common actually, depression that is. If treated properly it will not be a problem but if left untreated usually it only gets worse. If you really have no one you can talk with about your feelings, problems and everything else in general then seeking professional help is nothing to be ashamed of. And the worse thing to do is to ignore depression, it's a real illness just as any other.
The easiest way to get started is to just go and see a regular doctor, they will in most cases direct you into the right direction and if it's a good doctor he or she will even handle all the arrangements so you can go and talk with someone.

Yeah Mokuren, Andina is right. You should seek professional hep if you can't find someone to talk to about your feelings. I am always open if you ever need anything to talk about. Just PM me or you can reach me on my yahoo Messenger, Wintercream636@yahoo.com.

That's kind of like how I felt. It seemed to be caused more by anxieties than depression, even though I was going through that at the time too. Does your surroundings change when your mood does? I know that when I'm around crowds or large groups of people, I'll becoming distant and quiet because I'm not comfortable.
As for this talk of talking to psychologists and such, I somewhat recommend it too, but only if you think it'll help. It's a two-way thing, your mind has to be set on it working.

Yeah that is exactly the same for me. I can't be around large crowds or people i don't know. It cuases me to be completely distant from them and become highly uncomfortable. I guess this is why i spend alot of time in my room, becuase i see it as a safe haven from the rest of the world.
