I once knew someone who performed some sort of ritual to focus their "human feelings" into a ring as a means of having power over it. I have no idea of the method he used, or whether it was effective, as I ended communication with him shortly after. It's an interesting concept, but I dare say it wouldn't work for him as he was always a bit of a flake. In the right hands though... It's a powerful idea. So, I suppose you could follow a similar lead and concentrate your emotions about this person into an object and destroy it? But personally, I think you're better off to work through it. Our 'trials and tribulations' are what make us grow in mind and spirit, and bring great strength to us. Think of it as a quest, and if you take shortcuts, you might not end up where you wanted to get to... Ia! Ia!

I was born with Aspergers Syndrome, a part of that for me is the lack of any human feelings whatsoever. The only feeling I can truly feel is anger.

You showed me your feelings of gratitude in a p.m. Almost anything can be learned, even if it doesn't come "naturally". Don't you think?

Anyhow, I should say that I can't feel most of the human emotions then, such as sorrow, jealosy, do you get me here? It makes it even harder to explain in english for me.

R'luh, you are not alone. I too have Asperger's syndrome and many feelings I had to "learn"... However, at this point in my life, I have the entire spectrum (I believe)... Which is a double edged sword as my mother is dead and I'm always pretty bummed about that!

Well, and I thought I was the only one on this forum with Asperger's I'm a bit like you, R'luh, in the sense that I can be emotionless, yet at the same time, I can also be EXTREMELY emotional. Also, I'm kinda paranoid, fearing that people who show any care or compassion for me will just ... erm, leave me to die, I guess you could say. My guess is that the paranoia is a part of Asperger's. Sometimes, I'd compare myself with Michael Myers from Halloween. You know, because of the whole "pale, emotionless face" bit, plus because of my possible psychopathy. Psychopathy, for those that don't know, is basically not feeling bad for any of your wrongs, etc, as opposed to the slasher movie stereotype. Then again, I do think I sometimes fit that category as well, considering that I am kinda violent.

I don't know... I'm (normally) not paranoid. But I do act without feeling in many scenarios. And there's an advantage to that as in many instances, emotions will just fog your mind and be more of a hindrance than anything else...

A middle state between emotionless and emotional is best. Emotions can help drive you forward significant with unstoppable motivation while no emotions gives you the calm, cold thinking that assist you in doing what has to be done.
With no emotion you become a hollow husk of a person and with too much emotion you will become a bipolar wreck slaved to your emotions.

I agree to a point Erebos. I believe that there's a time for feeling and a time to be cold. It's all dependent on precisely what situation you are in...

I once knew someone who performed some sort of ritual to focus their "human feelings" into a ring as a means of having power over it. Ia! Ia! This kind of thing is used in NLP / Hypnotherapy. As I understand it, the principle is that one part of your brain creates an internal experience, another creates a symbol for it. The symbol is like a handle that is attached to the internal experience which allows you to have control over it. It doesn't matter if the symbol is a part of your imagination or something physical -- all our experience is symbolic anyway. Here's an interesting experiment you can try : 1. Take a moment to feel the feeling that you're feeling. 2. Take your hands and put them out in front of you like you're holding a ball. 3. Imagine the feeling as ball of energy in your hands, note the size, the color, and other things about the ball that relate to the feeling. 4. Change the properties of the ball. 5. Note the changes. 6. Put the energy back inside you.
