Feel no emotions, feel like doing nothing, how can I bring back my emotions?

Happy New Year, Question Asker,

My name is Kelly Shui.

[You are unable to discern emotions, you feel apathetic, how do you regain your emotional faculties?

From my analysis of your text, I can discern that you are aware of your feelings and emotions, and that you care about other people.

Let's examine this together.

[Regarding interpersonal relationships]

You express concern about feeling isolated at the start of the semester, having recently returned from a period of time spent at home. You indicate a desire to establish positive interpersonal relationships.

It is important to allow time to become acquainted with new colleagues in a professional setting. There are several strategies that can be employed to facilitate this process. One option is to observe colleagues more closely at the outset, another is to proactively seek to connect with them, and a third is to focus on one's own work.

Despite the familiarity of the majority of students in the class, you perceive yourself as an outsider after a brief period of time.

Were we close friends during our academic studies? How did we establish that level of rapport?

Student relationships are relatively straightforward. We can begin by demonstrating good character, excelling in classes that align with our interests, and taking the initiative to interact with our classmates in a positive manner. Over time, we can identify compatible classmates with whom we can study or discuss hobbies, share interests, and more.

Your classmates will also benefit from your kindness. While our current interpersonal relationships in the class are not optimal, they do have the potential to improve. Accepting the current situation is a good first step.

Anxiety is also an emotion and an experience that indicates expectations for one's life, for oneself, and for one's relationships. This is a positive indicator, and ideas can be changed through methods.

[Pay attention to yourself]

We can attempt to identify our own strengths.

For example, have you ever experienced anxiety in the past? Do any of your family members suffer from anxiety?

Please describe the methods you previously employed to mitigate your anxiety.

Additionally, we may consider writing about anxiety. What are the advantages of this approach?

It is important to note that no emotion is inherently good or bad. They serve as a reminder of our emotional state. Only those who are highly perceptive can discern when their emotions are changing. Sometimes they subside, and at other times, they fluctuate significantly. Emotions can be likened to clouds in the sky, coming and going.

It is possible to observe and acknowledge each instance of anxiety without resisting it. One can also attempt to develop a friendly relationship with anxiety to see how it affects one's overall outlook.

Emotions can often help us gain insight into our own perspectives. By doing so, we may be better able to understand ourselves, care more about others, and overcome feelings of loneliness.

In both personal and professional contexts, it is always possible to discuss issues with one or two trusted colleagues, including those in a position of authority.

Disclosing these feelings may also help to alleviate anxiety.

Conversely, I may perceive you differently. I may view you as particularly sensitive, perceptive, and aware, which could be perceived as a strength.

It would be beneficial to utilize this time to engage with literature and art.

This may yield different outcomes.

It would be beneficial to make an effort to become better acquainted with ourselves and to engage in activities that bring us enjoyment.

When we learn to appreciate solitude.

A period of self-reflection and personal growth, lasting approximately one to two years, can yield positive outcomes. During this time, individuals may find themselves less concerned with the opinions and actions of others.

It is not uncommon for individuals to form friendships during their academic tenure. However, it is often the case that maintaining these relationships requires significant time and energy.

If you are not actively seeking to gain something, others may also be more inclined to approach you.

It would be beneficial to consider the situation from a third-party perspective. When we sense the tension and anxiety of other people, do we prefer to maintain proximity or distance?

If an individual displays confidence, carefree demeanor, and friendliness, would we be inclined to approach them?

This process will ultimately lead to a resolution.

You are a perceptive individual with an excellent understanding of how to request assistance when needed. If anxiety is negatively impacting your studies or health, you may benefit from seeking professional guidance from a counselor or a listening teacher. These professionals can provide valuable insights and strategies to help you better understand yourself and navigate challenges effectively.

It is recommended that you engage in self-talk on a more frequent basis, utilize writing as a tool for self-affirmation, and recognize your inherent right to love and care for yourself. Additionally, you may find value in expressing your thoughts and emotions through drawing and other forms of visual expression, as well as engaging with literature that resonates with you.

We encourage you to try this approach and experience the benefits for yourself.

We recommend the following books: "High sensitivity is a gift," "Growing in relationships," and "Mr. Toad goes to the psychologist."

Hello. I am honored to answer your question and I am confident that my suggestions will be helpful to you.

It is crucial to be self-aware in this situation. Are we facing emotional problems, social issues, or isolation at school, similar to school bullying?

We must seek help for different situations as needed.

If you are bullied at school, you must communicate with your parents and teachers immediately. Even if you are a college student, you can still talk to your teachers and parents to explain the situation and find a solution.

The second problem is that we have social problems and don't quite fit in with the new environment. The first thing we should do is calm down. Let's be clear: entering a new environment is the same for us as it is for other students. They have also entered a new environment and met new classmates, and have to readjust themselves and establish new social relationships. So at the beginning, everyone is the same. We can and will slowly integrate and get to know each other. When we get along together, we can first observe as listeners to find a way to fit in that suits us, or find companions with similar personalities or preferences.

Emotional problems are more likely to be caused by the above two possibilities. Our excessive anxiety and worry have generated some fears, such as the fear of going to school, the fear of socializing, and the fear of facing classmates. We must seek timely professional psychological counseling.

Once you become self-aware, you can seek help from a mental health teacher after school starts if you feel your problem is purely emotional. However, if you find that your situation is more serious or that you're experiencing physical symptoms, you should immediately communicate with your parents, go to a professional hospital for an examination, and seek the help of a professional psychological counselor to establish regular psychological counseling to regulate your situation.

You will find a way to adjust to your needs, either through self-awareness or with the help of a professional.

I love you, the world!
