Am I weird??? I don't vent or rant?!
Question: Am I weird!?!?!? I don't vent or rant!?
Okay my roommate rants about things (guys, stupid girls, mean girls, sorority girls, school, family, etc etc) and other people in my life rant too!. I guess by ranting I mean venting!.!.!.in a healthy way, not like crazy overly yelling about things!. My roommate thinks I am completely weird because:
a!.) I never rant and/or vent!.
b!.) I have a flat affect to everything!.
c!.) To make me upset you would have to cut off my leg with an ax, and even then I would apologize for it being in your way!.
d!.) Honestly, no one seems to bother me but myself!.
e!.) I hardly ever change emotion!. I'm just "here"!.

Well it sounds like you two have very different ways of handling feelings!. While it's okay for her to rant and you to be calm, I worry that your "calm" is the result of being overmedicated since you said you have a flat affect!. But if you were calm like that before the meds, then maybe that's not an issue for you!. I'm also concerned about you say you're "just here!." Do you feel numb!? If so I would suggest you talk with the doc prescribing your meds about how you're feeling!. Those medications are supposed to alleviate anxiety and depression, not make you feel numb!. Hope this helps!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You need to be happy with who you are!. It doesn't mean that if everyone's ranting, then you should!. Maybe you dont express yourself the way others do!? Think of events that make you really angry/sad and think how you would react!. As long as this non-ranting does not affect your work/school and everyday life, you are fine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
sounds like you're on an anti-depressant it makes you immune to emotions!. or you're just super laid back!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
you do change emotions, you just don't express them!. the real question is why!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, maybe it's just that you don't really have anything to say and if you do, maybe you just don't feel right to say it while your roommate goes on and on!. And if nobody bothers you but yourself, I guess that's a good thing in a way (as long as you mean by yourself, I hope you don't mean that you beat yourself up over things because then there's a problem)!. As a fellow apologetic-aholic, even I have to say that I'd be upset if someone cut my leg with an ax, yet!.!.!.actually!.!.!.I wouldn't apologize, but I would just accept it!. (Weird, yes) And the emotion changing, I'm sure you do have it, even if it doesn't appear on the outside and the flat affect, most likely depends on what's going on and how you react to it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
