Hi, I don't really know how to start this but I just feel... disconnected from myself. Like people could be talking about somthing but I just don't connect emotionally. For example if someone says that they feel sad or somthing I don't know what to do, I try to reason it out for them but then they seem to get annoyed at me and just make it worse.( as you can probebley guess I don't have many friends) 

Another thing that's been happening is when I contemplate what's the point of me being alive. I mean I don't want children, I don't believe that there is a "special person" so in all why should I take up reasorses that others could use. I work it out methodically but feeling disconnected from it emotionally. I was just wondering if anyone else thinks like this and if it is normal or not.thanks for reading 

Ps I'm sorry if I put this in the wrong catogory I seriously don't know what to do.

    Hi there, have you always felt like this or have you suddenly felt a change in yourself? Not wanting kids or a partner doesn't mean you should feel like you don't have a purpose, it sounds like your not a people person (likewise) some people feel grounded when they find a motive like gardening or working with animals, is that something you would like?

    It is normal for some people not to want a partner or children.  You sound like you are feeling down and going through a bad patch.  You may well have a touch of depression or anxiety.  I would visit your GP who can check you over and see if there is anything that they can give you to lift your mood.  It would be good to get involved in a hobby where you could find an interest or even make new friends.  You can get through this hard time and come out the other end where you can find something to give your life a purpose again smile
