I've noticed over some time that I have either lack of sympathy or no sympathy at all for other peoples life and their situations. I feel like it isn't normal to have a disconnect from anyone. I'm mostly quiet when I'm around with people. Especially when I get customers that think that I'm a therapist and to me I could care less about it and just go to the bottom line.

I have always have it since I was 11 and before that I don't remember anything. I am what doctors called me since I was 3 autstic even though first it is way too young to conclude that I have autism and second I don't match there description of autism.

I think I'm either bipolar or im a sociopath, but I'm leaning towards sociopath because people with bipolar have some sort of emotions and I just don't. I have a ally hard time keeping friendships since to me I'm easily replaceable with anyone. I alienate myself from everyone I come in contact with, I have no attraction to anyone.

I can tell you my whole family life I just don't want to put it all out.

And if it isn't sociopath then what is it?

Is there really someone wrong with me?

I don't have much experience with this but I'll see if I can shed a bit of insight for you Echo.

If you were a sociopath I think it would be likely that either having no emotions wouldn't bother you, or you'd be pleased with it. Maybe you just have a very hard time connecting with people.

Everyone is different and just because you don't fit to what you think you should be doesn't mean there's something wrong. I'd recommend if you can, to speak to a counselor or a therapist about it. Maybe they can help you find out why you don't seem to show any sympathy.

Sorry that I can't think of much else Echo, but I hope you are able to resolve how you feel about this.

I agree with Serra Britt about the sociopath bit - having no emotions being disconnected wouldn't bother you.

if the doctors call you autistic they may be referring to asperger's syndrome which is in the autism spectrum. your problem sounds like it could be asperger's but i'm not a licensed psychologist or even a amatur one. so don't take my word.

i say to seek professional advice. this could be nothing or it could be something. talk to a someone with a degree in this sort of stuff to find out. and good luck.

I used to be like that when I had my old job. I heard so many issues in one day that after awhile I just could care less. I dont think that there is anything wrong with you just the fact that you have heard it all before and more then once so you really just dont care. Watch the moment some one comes to you with a different issue you will feel the change ^^
