Some people just aren't great at being touchy feely or feeling things. If this sounds like you, maybe you'll relate to the following ten things. Or maybe not because you suck at relating to things.
1. When one of your friends expresses emotion
Sometimes friends will let their guard down around you because they trust you and stuff. This will inevitably release an unexpected expression of emotions. In these situations you are ill equipped in comforting and reassuring them like a good friend should.
2. Awkward, and bad at hugging
Physical displays of affection have never been your strong suit. You never got the practice, so naturally you perform poorly in these situations.
3. Inappropriate emotions for certain situations
4. Some see you as some alien
Most people have no problem being comfortable with their emotions and expressing them. Which is a big part of emotional intelligence. But just like how sometimes we can't understand these kinds of people, they will feel the same.
5. "I love you"
Vocal evidence that you can feel is uncomfortable
6. Being "too chill"
You don't get angry very often, or even annoyed. Detachment can result in a very "I don't care" attitude. This can be mistaken as you don't care about a person, or many can take advantage of your "too relaxed" demeanor.
7. Relating
To understand other people, it is crucial to have experience in empathizing and having the same emotions yourself.
8. Actual sincerity brings skepticism
9. You hide behind humor
You joke about everything as a comic relief to certain situations with emotional tension. It's also great for when asked a personal question you don't feel like answering. Humor can distract from the situation/feeling, which has blessed you with a great, yet sometimes dark sense of humor.
10. But you actually care a lot
Even though it doesn't seem like you care about people or anything at all, you love and care maybe even more than most. Some people will look beyond your cold and detached exterior and recognize the small gestures as your sneaky way of showing your appreciation. You can be cold and find some of the warmest people that will stick around. "I don't care about anything. Except the crippling weight of existing and everyone's opinions."
