Therapy / counselling, there is usually a reason for this kind of detatchment
Showerthoughts
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
I don't think you can or that it's even wise. I think therapy can help you mitigate consequences, and if you value these people in any way, you will make every effort of going to a therapist, being honest, and participating to make the situation more tolerable for yourself and potentially others.
Seek professional help before somebody dies.
Get help
Seriously, get help. Detachment like that usually means something is quite severely wrong. Could be depression, could be something worse, but regardless, this is not a healthy state to be in.
I don't think it would be useful or even possible for you to fake that. I get that when you don't care about things you probably don't care about solutions that don't just mitigate consequences either, but I think it would be smart to seek professional help and get over this in a meaningful way. I don't think you are fundamentally broken in any way but it does sound like you have some stuff to sort out and therapy would probably help a lot in that.
You don't need to fake liking anyone.
Just be yourself and if they don't like you, who cares?
