Same here, more or less. It helped somewhat when I got put on SSRIs but I feel like I fundamentally don't care about anything or anyone. Luckily I'm a decent person so I don't get in trouble with the law or hurt anyone, but life can feel pretty meaningless at times.

Does anyone else ever feel empty, like they're a computer simulation of what other people actually feel?

this may seem nerdy, but I was listening to a Harry Potter audiobook, and I realized I had literally no memories that could be used to summon a patronus, that is, no memories that give me a sense of joy and happiness.

my earliest memory, one that I've revisited over my entire life is me standing in my preschool and looking at a distant building ( a hotel, that was demolished following an earthquake) and feeling like there was an indescribable distance between me and whatever was represented by that building.

I've spent my entire life watching the world through a haze that separates me from the outside world. it feels physical, like something between my eyes and my brain.

what happens to people like me? do we find a way to feel like we've found that building on the horizon or do we...

Freaky, my wife and I are also listening to the Harry Potter Audioboooks and only just finished book 3.

Wait... honey??

I see now giving you internet access privileges was a mistake. You were so much more fun back when you only spoke Russian.

No but seriously, OP, I also have trouble coming up with a memory I would use to conjure a patronus, but for the opposite reason. My entire life has been so good I have a tough time picking the standout memory I would use.
