Emotions are useless
02.01.2017 by Logic23

1) emotions are useless.
2) logic trumps all.
3) tonality? whats that!? focus on my words only please.
4) everything other then facts of the situation are irrelevant. explaination is not needed. all i need to know is that you are going for a trip, i have no need to hear of your planning.
5) I dont understand why you are so upset? I see what happened as a simple cause and effect.
6) you failed to do something? then i guess your desire to achieve it was lesser then your desire to do something else( sleeping in) instead.
7) What would i do if my parents died? First thought would be to get the financials in order
8) Yes, i am an ass cause i see no need to beautify my words as I dont see how the people would feel better if I simply made it sound nicer
9) sex is really just a strenuous activity
10) I have a very limited emotional range
11) your crying has no effect on me cause it happens so regularly that its considered normal to me now, and hence, there is no need for me to respond to it anymore
12) I am the friend you come to when you need a solution, not when you need a shoulder to lean on.

just some of the things I say on a regular basis.

I did the quiz on this website. got a score of 150. how high is that?

am i looking for advice on what to do next?
Not really. my logic tells me that I am good, can probably survive in the world even although I am like this.

Am i miserable?
Sorry, please define miserable. then perhaps I would answer you on a scale of 1-10

So, why am I here?
Simply looking for an answer : Whats wrong with me?
Psychopathic?
Alexithymia?
Emotional Deprivation Disorder?

How can someone like me sustain a relationship with a significant other? All I know is that I feel pleasure when she smiles, sadness when she cries and irritation when shes being slow to understand me.

What's next?

Feel free to respond if any way if you so choose.

Sorry for rambling.

Hi Logic23

What an interesting list of beliefs you're carrying around with you. How sad that you feel these define who you are.

Have you ever considered that others have the right to feel differently from you?

Have you ever thought that maybe your beliefs could be limiting your experiences of life and may not be serving you in the best way possible?

I have a word for you - acceptance. To define this, in case you do not understand what it means, it is understanding that there are other ways of doing, of thinking, of acting and of feeling besides the ways in which you do these things (if, in fact, you do them at all) without the need to judge whether your ways or the other ways are right, wrong, good or bad. In fact, those four words, plus judgement, have no place whatsoever in acceptance. Acceptance involves the tacit agreement with yourself or another that they and you are able to peacefully and benignly coexist without the need for either to have to judge the other in any way.

The first person you need to accept is yourself. Lose your anger with yourself; accept that you have a particular way of behaving that is different from everyone else. Everyone's behavior is different from everyone else - that's what makes the world such a wonderfully fascinating place, or, if you do not choose to accept others, such a disastrously frustrating place.

Practice acceptance and you will change, if, of course, you see the need to change yourself. Remember, you are the only person you can change.

'Nuff said.
