A series of thoughts I noticed that might be familiar to some here.

“I don’t have emotions”

“All my emotional presentations are fake”

“If people treat me better for my fake emotions, it’s because I’m manipulating them”

“I don’t deserve the sympathy I get”

“I shouldn’t present any emotions in order to not extract underserved sympathy”

“I don’t have emotions”

Obviously a lot of these thoughts are factually incorrect, but it doesn’t matter to my silly brain. Laying them out clearly like this helped me with it, so I hope it helps other people too.

    I actually have too much emotion. I’m incredibly sensitive, and when I’m positive, I’m positive, and when I’m negative, I’m negative.

    Yeah I’ve felt things slightly similar to this, I guess. Not the whole cycle, but I do question if I should even bother expressing emotions. That’s mostly because my intense emotions are related to all my moral-political oppositions to this world and phenomena in it that normie coppertops are going to either exclude or actively harm me if they hear about them. So it’s like, I can be honest and more harmonious with myself and likely get ostracized or attacked or I can be as silent and non-committal as possible to avoid that but further my negative views of people and society because of it.
