I want to study and analyse things again as i used to , i want passion for them . I want to feel the excitement in theories again. I don’t want to follow the same way everybody is taking . I want order in things . I want to be in 100% charge for my life.

It seems to me that you have shut yourself down from the world. You have become numb. Maybe you have lost trust in people and figure why even try if the result will not be favorable. You don’t want to take risks. B being numb, you are protecting yourself. I am no psychologist, and I may be getting it all wrong but for whatever it is worth, I am sharing how I feel. I go through the same too, and every day i have to push through some of the barriers. Else I am only going to harm myself more and more with each passing day. And not going to be a positive factor on neither this earth, nor with people around me. Do I want to be a drain on anyone? No. I rather be a positive influence. AND I want to make something of this life. Not just let it pass by like water. Because I don’t want to feel like a failure. I want to be a lil hero in my own life by pushing past some barriers. Take small steps and open up. Let people in. Share (and you have already done so here). It may seem fake but start fake then. Fake it till you make it. Heal relationships. Talk to your family. Give up that ego that is stopping you from reaching out. You feel you are protecting yourself, but you are only distancing yourself from life. It is doing your soul no good. It is easy to say I know, but it is upto you to take the actions you know you can take to better your life. I know the feeling of burnout. Very well. There was a time even I was reading those self-help books like crazy because I was driven and I had a hunger to learn and improve..then I burned out and never even wanted to look at one. I needed time out to just BE. To learn to accept myself and slowly heal. We all go through those phases. This is an opportunity for you to heal. Life is presenting you with truth..now it is upto you to do something about it. Fill your mind with hopeful thoughts. U know what you can do, the steps you can take to start healing. You know it. Our individual prescriptions are all inside us. Listen to your inner voice.
I may be totally off, but for whatever it is worth..
Take care.
I understand what your going through. I don’t know about the books, but what you are losing is your interest, resolve, happiness, etc. Everything that keeps human’s hope for the future, but you are losing it, you don’t feel like doing anything because it don’t find anything that interest you. I also know that you just noticed this attitude of yours and now that you noticed it, you want to change it, this is proof that somewhere inside you, you continue to fight for hope in which that makes you happy. Usually, when a person lost all of his goals and dreams, that person wants to die, so to live on you must have a resolve or goal. Though there is a bad side to this, if you do just randomly create a goal, there is a chance you won’t pour your heart in the goal and you might just do it as a duty, which will not lead you to true happiness and hope. It will be hard to change, but what you need to do is erase the doubt that you can’t do anything in this world, it either this or you have to have something or someone in your life that allows you to continue fighting for that something or someone, so in this case you have a chance to be happy. Us humans are fragile things, we break easily, you need to build your spirit and joy. The reason you lost interest in all these things is because you lost your joy, it is fading slowly and if this continues you will eventually end up not wanting to live. You must remember what you used to be so happy about that let you have joy, so you can do what you use to love so much, once again. You know, what I am suggesting might be childish, but hey it better than being a depressed guy, eh?
Well, I wish you luck. Go back into doing what you love most by fighting for what you truly find precious to you:)
Hope I Helped out in anyway:)
I think I know what you’re talking about. As I grew up I lost all sense of emotion, even pain didn’t seem as bad. Unlike you however, I’m personally glad that this happened, people hurt my feelings a lot so they just started to recede. If you want to learn how to feel more emotion then first you have to learn to feel alive. Maybe try breaking routine and doing something that gives you a sense of adrenaline, maybe go on holiday, skydiving or whatever else you find interesting. I’ve never really done this because I’m content with my life the way it is, but if you’re unhappy then maybe these methods would work
It sounds that you are suffering from depression. There are many types of depression and they have different but similar symptoms. You don’t always need a reason to be depressed either, sometimes there is a reason, sometimes it hereditary and other times it’s purely and imbalance in the brain and it’s all biological. I would suggest you see your doctor. You may be referred to counseling which will help you understand how you are feeling. You may be given anti depressants which will help make you feel better. If it’s any consolation it’s suggested that almost 45% of people are depressed nowadays. Hope you feel better soon.
Edit: Some people who are depressed do not feel anything. They feel numb to everything and just drift along with no real feeling. It is a symptom.
Dear friend, I would like to quote One of the great sayings “LIFE IS LIKE A BUBBLE” so we have to enjoy the fragrance of life in each and every second before blowing our bubble. I myself think that this Entire world is created for me and all the beings are here to make me happy. Once a cat left a small kitten in our home I bred it with utmost care. Now nearly fifteen cats in our home. The ultimate happy thing naa…. I want to say one thing… You try and get what ever likes, ambitions you have, and leave the things/fellows what ever you feel bad then automatically your mind will be free and fills with happy and joy.
all the best….
uday
