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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
