Well, you sure don't stop getting older...
I definitely find this true how ever some drugs will be worse. For instance i find Weed is the big one , that stuns emotional growth when used young. When you're a daily stoner, you don't really want to try new things and such you kind of just want to do you're routine. Also weed makes many people anti social, so imagine being anti social for so many years. How are you able to grow emotionally if you aren't making certain connections.
Anyways yea, i started smoking at like 15 and daily by the time i was 17. I am 22 now, i definitely do NOT feel like a 22 year old.
nah i've done therapy for over 2/3 of my life i know everything that makes me tick yet i'm still currently seeing a therapist
Could you clarify what you mean by antisocial? Do you mean you just don't socialize much or are you referring to the personality disorder? If you mean you don't socialize, the correct term is Asocial.
This is a description of someone with major antisocial behavior: They lack consideration for others and may cause damage to the society, whether intentionally or through negligence. Antisocial people have a reduced ability to feel empathy, compassion, and love. Some may not feel those things at all. Some antisocials enjoy hurting others and get enjoyment from the suffering of others.
I hope you meant Asocial
If you did mean antisocial, you really need some kind of help. If you are antisocial, I think you could possibly learn to feel those positive things and you would probably want to. Being unable to feel empathy, compassion, love, or concern for others would be a really empty life.
It sounds like you have some kind of emotional issue that needs to be addressed - I don't know what it is - depression, antisocial personality disorder, some kind of emotional trauma that needs to be dealt with so you can change, or some other problem that needs attention.
Are you still smoking weed all the time? That could make you feel apathetic and unmotivated and could possibly blunt your emotions. It could cause you to find interest in nothing and not really care. If you are still smoking weed all the time, you'll probably get a lot better if you stop. If that is the case, just stop smoking weed for a while - you'll probably feel better and find life more satisfying afterwards, though it would take some time. Maybe you could just cut way back on the weed and only smoke it on the weekend or something. If that is not the issue or if you are smoking weed all the time and stopping doesn't make you feel any better within a couple of months, there is definitely a psychological issue that needs to be addressed and figured out by an expert.
Something definitely needs to change so you can have a more fulfilling life. If there is an emotional or psychiatric issue that is undiagnosed or not being treated, you really need to get help so you can change your situation. If you can figure out why you feel like this and get professional help, you can change yourself for the better. You would probably benefit from therapy and you may need meds, depending on the condition. With appropriate help, I am sure you could change yourself for the better, if you try - it could be a long process, but with time, you can probably deal with the issue and make a positive change in your life.
