Could it be that some people are born but not alive?

Take this and it back to us.

@everephebe

The test results don’t suggest
strong psychopathic tendencies.

This does not mean the person isn’t a potential mass-murderer. They may be mad, they may resort to violence. A close professional or emotional relationship with even the most normal of people may prove to be a damaging, or at least boring, experience.

EDIT: I’d say that sounds about 75% true.

EDIT2: I took the test again, this time trying to get a strong result, what it had to say still sounded 75% true.

Have you ever taken this quiz? Some of your questions have made me wonder in the recent past.

It may be that you are emotionally immature. There are ways you can develop your emotional maturity.

@SpatzieLover

Score: 20

EDIT: I’m not sure how I would have scored on these tests 10 years ago.

Do you think you are possibly emotionally stunted for your age?

I think you need to change the water in your Bong! ;)

I got an 11 on @SpatzieLover‘s test link. You know for a “control” statistic. Or not.

@SpatzieLover For my age, no. 10 years ago, totally.

@Cruiser No bogs for nearly a month now :D

This may sound very odd… I had people tell me I was way over reacting last time I mentioned this. A massive change for me, was the first time I watched pale blue dot for the first time.

It must have just cought me at the right moment or something, but the first time I stumbled on this video, it made me break down.

I remember how it started talking about love, and shortly in to the video, I was welling up with tears. Once it mentioned the part about the rivers of blood, it felt like I had been stabbed. Since that day, there have been noticable changes.

There are many in the medical profession who study brain activity from birth and on. What most of the people above me have said is speculation and conjecture, but the every possibility is likely.

Ben Franklin said some people die at 25 and aren’t buried until 75. I love that quote—

I think some of our brains need more time to develop depth and sensitivity, and some people never do develop it. Some people (like my son) were born empathetic. Seeing that you’ve gotten to where you have developed a sense of emotions, I think you’re fine :D I’d be more concerned if you had said, “I feel nothing, including no empathy whatsoever.”

I think you were just emotionally cold. I went threw the same thing, but for a shorter time and because of trauma. I’m glad to hear that you’re feeling more emotions :)

I’m an old folk. For me every new day is as good as I make it. Make the most of every day that you have. Perhaps some professional counseling can help you. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Everyone that’s born is alive. Not everyone is good at feeling emotions.

@poisonedantidote you are just fine, perhaps one of the more balanced people around.

this is such an interesting question! I don’t know what your beliefs are but it is possible that you are in your first incarnation and therefore these feelings are unfamiliar to you or undeveloped, or that you reincarnated too soon, as can happen with sudden or traumatic endings such as soldiers, natural disasters, accidents, in which the being comes back much sooner than usual- my mum told me that there was a huge incidence of this after ww2.

Anger and such are easy to adopt, especially as a teen, as it is a time of confusion and turbulence. Making relations from yourself to serial killing is also quite easy, because of the satisfaction one may get from this alliance when it comes to life’s frustration. Although I don’t think we understand murderers unless we are a murderer. Stupid affiliation, really. Quite immature.
When I was a kid and teen I had problems with anger, and had to see a shrink about it. Seems to have settled down, but it’s not to say that I didn’t feel anything else. I did, but dismissed most of it or turned it into something else, some justification of some kind or another. I still got anger problems, but like you, I’ve learned to have something other than that, which is just as important. Need some balance, we need ourselves some yin and some yang.
Maybe the extremes are different in many cases and it varies from person to person, but I don’t think it’s living without being alive. I ain’t no zombie. But such things are not phases which are unheard of.

Perhaps some people live without living, like alcoholics, or people who spend all their time on Facebook. But such sad and sorry states are probbaly a lot more complicated and fucked up than discovering your emotions and learning to cope with em.
