For example this has helped me dump the fake people and find real people. But also I feel no genuine feelings for anyone.

Also I want to add that I noticed some people are emotionally weak and can not break up with people/leave friends.

Your opinion?

Without emotion we would not able to feel what other people feel, then we would not have empathy. So, being emotionless is not good.

We must have emotion. But we must also have ability to control emotion.

Guess so. Since I feel no sincere/genuine feelings for anyone (I can only THINK I love someone). The good thing is it can help dump bad stuff. The negative side is I am not a committed person so that means no marriage for me.

It seems I only have anger.

Sure - you always told me you suffer depression... and anxiety - these are reflective of disturbed emotive states... you are not emotionless - you just have no control over your own.

You have emotion, you just can't control it so you avoid situations where emotions are needed. You block out others because you don't want to get hurt, feel loneliness, dependance, etc. This doesn't make you stronger, but rather a weaker person overall.

Real emotionless people are actually called psychopaths, which you're not.

Instead of being "emotionless" just remove negativity from you life. Happiness, love, kindness, empathy are all beautiful emotions that everyone needs in order to have a healthy life. I could not imagine a life without "feeling" even if it is sadness or anger because that's where strength comes from. When you can FACE your issues, then you move on from them instead of putting them in a black hole and calling yourself emotionless, because it will eventually build up and you will realize the ugliness that becomes of you.

BTW where are your parents?? You're like 13 aren't you?

Greetings and peace be with you Deist;

It seems I only have anger.
You have said anger three times now, are you angry with Allah, yourself, parents or who?

What are the things that make you most angry? The things that churn away in your mind when you are on your own.

In the spirit of praying to a forgiving god.

Assalamu Alaykum,

I think there is a difference between being truly hard-hearted (cruel, emotionless to and in an extreme case psychopathic) and building around your emotions a high wall which doesn't allow anything to come inside or out. Perhaps the danger is in that you don't build that wall so high that you do not allow someone who genuinely loves you to enter or it prevents you from expressing any feelings. Worst of all you don't want build up a wall which prevents you from coming close to Allah.

I'm not saying it is bad to learn how to control or hide your emotions - but with moderation. And what do you mean by emotionally weak? I find many people who are sensitive or kind-hearted are called weak in today's times.

I'd rather be a sensitive and emotional person - there is a hidden blessing in it.

(mildly) This sounds like an emotion to me... a pretty strong one, actually... (gently) And it's hard to feel other emotions when anger is very strong...

Emotions, senses, desires, mind and conscience are all part (I may have omitted some) of the gift that comes in this world. The choices we make are ours.

Strength is within. It is not about the results. Not at all. It is about your resolve and action.

To combine all those gifts that make life so rich, I have also successfully controlled my emotions from a very young age. I'm like an elastic band, emotionally. Never allowing myself to get too happy or sad. I also knew that I make who I am, now and the future, nobody else. As I learn, no internet those days... it was only recent. So knowledge was hard to get.. but I knew life is a test. And anger is tiring. Resentment is tiring, even more so if it is not used to spurr you into something better but instead sit there and burn inside.

That was a test, you failed!

You were angry as a muslim, you said, are you not a muslim now? Still angry? It feels to me that it has nothing to do with the deen. You're just an angry person.

But if you are still very young, I think you are thinking way too far ahead into a world you really don't know. And worst still, decide the fate of your entire life based on teenage uncertainty, moulding your coming years on your negative understanding..

Why don't you explore what these years have to offer. It is a learning period, so LEARN, don't decide already what is good or not. That is stupid. Before you do it yoy're already saying no, it is hard, I'm not going to like it, so, what are the chances of success? Almost zero. Then it fails, See? I told you! Self fulfilling prophecy. Plenty of that, it soon becomes, "Oh, I'm such a failure.... " blah blah blah..

Go out, live! Remember Allah. Discover yourself and learn how to serve Him in your life. Still do things and learn.

There is no gain at all to harbour anger. Let it slip through your fingers and toes and get on with the blessings (and trials) of life, you will find it very nice.. why? Because you have peace of mind.

Greetings and peace be with you Deist;

I just get angry if someone annoys me.
There is an old Indian story about anger, inside each of one of us; there are two wolves that are always fighting. One wolf is the kind and caring one, the other is the angry wolf.

The question is which wolf wins? And the answer is the one you choose to feed. If you keep feeding the angry wolf, the kind wolf becomes weak, even to the point of death.

You have choices in how you feed your own anger, you give other people permission to make you angry, they can’t make you angry.

The person who angers you, controls what goes on in your head, the person who should be in control is you.

In the spirit of striving to forgive.
