Yes. But Apathy is actually Disassociation. Itβs basically you stop feeling things to survive the Bad Things.
The comic makes it seem more fun than it is
I realize a lot of people don't like to be alone with their thoughts. I'm fine. Usually there's a song playing if I'm not distracted, or I'm looking to the future to make plans.
Others, I tend to find, are far more in tune with their subconscious which appears to be saying nasty things to them the moment they're alone.
I had a bad childhood (like many), but I think my coping mechanism was to escape to fantasy (later books, games, art), and as a result I think I trained myself to not spend too long listening to my feelings. It probably is disassociation, but I don't see it as a bad baseline to have.
Are you me?
It's a miracle any of us are functioning at all. Sometimes my mum tells me how she feels bad for the childhood that we had growing up, but I usually tell her that: since we didn't die, she did a good job; and since we're healthy working adults, she did a great job.
A lot of humans are like this, fellow human.
I feel as though apathy wouldn't come crashing in with an angry face on. I would more expect apathy to just sort of fall in to where the other emotions are going on.
Signed, a person who often has apathy falling into where the other emotions are going on.
cutest apathy ever.
All those emotions look so angry.
Kind of reminds me of my favorite episode of Ren and Stimpy when Ren split himself in the two opposite sides of his personality: his evil side and his indifferent side.
