I do not cry or get angry when someone tries to make me angry. Is it a personality disorder?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am 20 years old. I want to ask about something. This is a psychological question. I am having this problem for years. I am very closed up. I do not tell my stuff to any people around me. I do not feel pity for anyone. I do not have sympathy or pain. I do not cry or feel angry when anyone tries to make me angry. I just leave them as such and my mother says to me that I am abnormal. Is it a sign of personality disorder? I do not feel nervous when I have a situation to face. But I had a breakdown once. I lashed out and cried a lot. After that, I was like nothing happened.

Welcome to icliniq.com.

As a human being, you should have feelings or emotions such as good or bad, and happy or sad. We must laugh or cry for sometime in a day. It is required for our good health. Without emotion, man is motionless. We need to laugh or cry for some time. Sometimes, we are angry or depressed or having pleasant feelings. During the sad moment or a dealth of somebody, we must feel sad as we have lost somebody. It is a normal tendency to be present in a person. You can learn this from your parents or close frineds.
