Anyone new that comes into my life, even if they become my “friends” or hell, even a girlfriend, I couldn’t care less about them and don’t value them. If they have kids, I don’t care about their well-being either. Basically I could not give less of a fuck about anyone. I don’t care about my friends or family members at all. If they are sick, I don’t care; if they die, I don’t care. It’s not even that I don’t “like” them; it’s more apathy than anything else. Don’t care whether they live or die. They don’t care about their children or their well-being. Here are my “emotions” towards people. I either tolerate you, or I’m purely apathetic. Or I just straight up don’t like you.
But I’m going to be in more social situations around people I hang out with – friends, family, etc. – and I need to fake like I care about them.
How do I do that?
Seriously, get help. Detachment like that usually means something is quite severely wrong. Could be depression, could be something worse, but regardless, this is not a healthy state to be in.
Therapy / counselling, there is usually a reason for this kind of detatchment
I don’t think it would be useful or even possible for you to fake that. I get that when you don’t care about things you probably don’t care about solutions that don’t just mitigate consequences either, but I think it would be smart to seek professional help and get over this in a meaningful way. I don’t think you are fundamentally broken in any way but it does sound like you have some stuff to sort out and therapy would probably help a lot in that.
Seek professional help before somebody dies.
I don’t think you can or that it’s even wise. I think therapy can help you mitigate consequences, and if you value these people in any way, you will make every effort of going to a therapist, being honest, and participating to make the situation more tolerable for yourself and potentially others.
Get help
You don’t need to fake liking anyone.
Just be yourself and if they don’t like you, who cares?
