9 Signs You're The Friend With No Emotions

Everyone has that one friend who seems to have no emotions. If you don't know that friend, then it is probably you. Being the emotionless friend is a lot harder than it seems. Dealing with others emotions is extremely awkward for you, almost as awkward as dealing with your own emotions. Here are nine signs you are the friend who has no emotions.

1. Friends with feelings scare you.

When you hear that your new friend has a lot of emotions, you are instantly scared. It doesn't matter how nice or cool they are, you do whatever you can to dodge them when they say they have had a "really bad day" and want to vent to you.

2. When they do vent to you, you aren't sure what to do.

Trying to get them to stop talking about their issue of the day is a difficult task. You want to be a good friend, but it gets to a point where you just can't even figure out why they are getting so upset. So someone sent a sassy text to you? Get over it!

3. When the tears start, forget about it.

How does one even begin to comfort another person? Do you rub their back or try to hug them? Who knows. Whatever you do, do not laugh. I know it's tempting but that is probably the worst thing to do when someone is crying, but what do we know? We don't cry.

4. Being asked for advice is the scariest thing for you.

You have no idea what to say, because you have no idea what they are experiencing. You try to avoid this completely by making an awkward joke, extremely inappropriate for the moment.

5. Did I mention that comforting people is the worst?

You seriously have no idea what to do. If anyone has any suggestions on how to comfort someone, let me know.

6. Someone trying to hug you is very confusing.

What is this? If they know you don't do well with emotions, why do they think you would do well with this physical act of emotion?

7. The act of hugging is actually painful.

You do that courtesy 'the hug is over' pat many times and they still don't let go. Why are they trying to torture us, we just heard you cry for the past hour. That was enough!

8. You're the only one not crying during a sad movie.

You have absolutely no idea why they are being so emotional; nothing that big even happened.

9. When you finally feel your own emotions, you hide them very well.

You are a pro at hiding your own emotions. You don't let anyone see this side of you, because why would you! It's not part of your personality and that is okay with you. Just hide under that desk and wait it out, it will pass.

People will always say you have to get more in touch with your emotions, but you don't have to listen to them. If the emotionless lifestyle is working for you, than you do you! Keep awkwardly comforting people and fighting their hugs as much as you can.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
