Is it possible to be incapable of love?

Question

If someone has had few positive interactions with other people (besides your parents), is it possible for your heart to die and be unable to care about other people?

Answer 1

Not unless you have an antisocial personality disorder. If you still care about your parents you don't have AP disorder. But people can build walls around themselves in an effort to avoid being hurt again.

Answer 2

It is possible for someone to incapable of love...If someone grew up not receiving any affection then they would not know...like a wise woman says you can't give what you don't have...

Answer 3

Anything is possible. What are you really asking?

Answer 4

i think everyone has love inside of them, and i don't think it is a matter of being 'incapable' but rather finding the right person who makes you feel like it IS possible to love. i think finding the right person makes you capable of anything.

... sadly, some people never find that person.

Answer 5

I agree with you, it's possible and not so uncommon to die without having loved someone. If a person grows up with no love, or worst, with indifference, he will be completely unable to love. Even feelings must be fed. I've seen people like that and I'm so sorry for them.

Answer 6

Yes it is possible.  It is a psychological condition.  

There is a condition called Failure to Thrive.

It is when a person usually a newborn does not bond with the mother.  Or when a geriatric person wants to die.

People inbetween those two ages have other issues.

The amount of interactions are not as important as the quality, mostly you must want to care.

Answer 7

Your heart, or soul, cannot die. It is always there, but it can be rather dormant if not many have showed you love. You can feel no love and no remorse for yourself, others, and the world in general (like a sociopath). But no, you cannot be incapable to love others, I think. It can be very very hard to love or trust, but love prevails over all, in the end, and so love will find it's way to you eventually. It's all the simple things that you appreciate, the flowers on your way to work, a nice hot bath, a good book, that are love in itself. Love will come, I promise.

Answer 8

When u say "possible for ur heart to die", that in itself tells that it may be living at some point.

Yes, it's possible, and it's called indifference.

Whatever I know about such people is that they like to have people fall in love with them, but soon enough after the chase, they lose interest, be it a man or a woman.

Not that they don't care, it's just that they KNOW it that no one is the one and ONLY love of their lives. This kind of nature may stem with or without a past experience, or some people feel that taking up a cause, be it love or anything else, is all futile.

As someone rightly said, "The tragedy of modern man is not that he knows less & less about the meaning of his own life, but that it bothers him less & less."

Answer 9

i think that i am incapable of love. i won't allow it. it began with a conscious choice to stop caring, and now i am completely detached, and life is a lot more bearable

Answer 10

well according to the person who answered before me i have a personality disorder as i dont really care about anyone. I don't think I do love anyone. I never had a proper bond with my parents because of family situations and stuff so...
