Is bordom an emotion, or lack of all emotions. If someone had no emotions would they just be bored all the time? If bordom is an emotion then what would someone feel who feels no emotion. I cant remmber the dissorder, but there is such a dissorder where peopl feel no emotions. Allso could these people be scared by a sudden surprise?
Well, boredom is an emotion because you FEEL bored.
Logically, a person without emotions could not feel boredom or anything else.
I don’t think that anyone lacks ALL emotions, maybe anger, happiness, sadness and such…Are you sure?
Yea I cant think of the name of the dissorder, but it does exsist. I just couldnt imagine how it would feel to feel no emotions not even bordom. Maybie it would feel as I do now. Im not angry, happy, sad, scared, or bored. I guess it would just feel like I feel now all the time.
Well, even if they’re gone for now, you still have emotions Kava. If someone came in and pointed a gun at one of your loved ones heads, you’d feel anger or sadness. Those people wouldn’t at all. Moreover, it wouldn’t matter to a person that truly has no emotion.
What you’re most likely feeling is plain and simple apathy. It could be caused by something traumatic, or if you’ve been super stressed out lately your SC will also tune emotions our for a little while. It’s something many people go through and it doesn’t mean you’ve lost all emotions.
In extreme circumstances people can indeed become emotionless, but it’s not like boredom. Children that are being abused often shut down their emotions to be able to survive (it’s a protection mechanism of the brain). They choose to no longer feel anything and only observe when being abused. (Developing a split personality is another form of cooping with extreme abuse). In a later stage of their lives this almost always leads to severe mental problems and can be very dangerous. They are like emotional flatliners…you can even run a lie-detector test on them and you’ll find no difference between lying and telling the truth due to lack of emotions.
Well, some believe that psychopaths don’t feel anything, but I think it’s really stupid idea… if they wouldn’t feel anything why would they kill or abuse? Just think about it - psychopath feels sadness, rage or lust so he starts to kill. If they wouldn’t feel anything they wouldn’t care enough to do such things, I guess.(?) My best guess would be that it’s possible to feel limited range of emotions or suppressed emotions, but not zero.
Heh, heh… lie detectors don’t work. They’re just fancy way to make you admit to something even if you didn’t do it. At best they can show that you’re nervous.
Indeed, boredom is an emotion. Being emotionless is being a robot 
Robots can’t feel bored.
if “god” walked the earth he would feel nothing if he chose to… but we are not gods and can never really feel nothing. i think the closer you are to detachment, the easier death will come, but that depends on the manner of the detachment and the level of peace youve reached in life.
ive been through great apathy which is more like the flipside of a peaceful solitude… i believe its because its on the wombs side instead of the grave. there essentially both the same but this world sends out tremors of illusions of duality.
killers of that magnitude tend to compartmentalize. think about two soliders in a battle, one is openly scared his emotions in plain sight, hes the evidence of life. the other is a seasoned vet, he appears calm, he carries out a plan and kills when he must, hes the product of life- like a new star formed from raw energy (emotion) he was able to become a tool in his profession.
the first solider will either evolve as he has done or go back to his desk job.
on solider A’s brightside he may use his open emotions to love his wife where solider B would only be cold and only know feelings of the warrior… there both great emoyions im sure it just depends on who you are.
the serial killer/psycho vs 90% of us is the same story. when that 90% shuns all thought of killing, the population compartmentalizes their own kind… its symbolic to the killers mind when he stores away his desire to kill to keep an appearance of a “normal” life, a notion which will always mean less than the things you love.
its a sick cycle of negative energy based on the unsettled feelings towards uncertainty. see what im saying?
