1. Only rarely do you ever say these three little words...

2. ...and it's a chore for you to respond to them.

Really, what are you supposed to say to that?

3. Crying is never something that comes naturally to you.

Not on your watch.

Nope, not even The Fault in Our Stars or The Notebook.

5. ...and most sappy genres like romantic comedies are too cheesy for your liking.

Too many emotions in under two hours.

6. Whether it's a graduation, funeral, or a wedding, you seldom cry at events other people cry at.

So of course, people think you're a heartless beast.

7. PDA is not only awkward, it makes you downright uncomfortable.

Ew.

Whatever happened to high fives, or shaking hands?

10. When other people feel proud or happy on your behalf, it makes you super uncomfortable...

11. ...but it's not nearly as bad as having to comfort someone yourself.

You simply don't know what to do or say.

12. On the very few occasions when you are moved, you don't know what to do with yourself.

17. It's very hard for you to respond to affection...

18. ...and it's equally hard for you to apologize, because it involves crossing an emotional bridge.

I'm bad at feelings 😬

It's not that you're pissed, that's just the way your face looks.

20. Romantic relationships are a minefield, because they are built on communication and emotion.

The two things you are really not good at.

21. Which makes it easier for you to just stay perpetually single.

22. You often question your lack of emotions, but then you realize that you don't necessarily "hate" having feelings...

...you're just bad at expressing them.

Omg It's Prime Day!
