    Is there a disorder where you don't get upset?
    If there is I think I have it. I am a 17 year old guy and I have noticed (and been told) over the last few years that I don't really get upset or excited or react at disturbing, distressing or even happy news. I don't think it's a huge problem I just want to get more insight. Thanks.

    Why would having a calm, VERY stabile approach to life be a disorder? It may not be as common as it should be... But I've actually known many people over the last 51 years that are like that.

    Be glad of it and proud of it.
    Maybe your ID says something about the people who surround you, saying these things.

    My partner sometimes gets not happy with me because I don't get upset. My philosophy is don't sweat the small stuff, let people be people, and have fun. I don't see a problem with that. I also love to smile and laugh, especially laughing at myself. So count your blessings my friend. There should be more people like us!

    My Asperger's husband is that way -- has a temperament that is always on an even keel with no highs or lows. I tell him if he were a color, it would be beige.

    I think, and please correct me if I am wrong, mine is caused by very low blood pressure and a low heart rate. My BP is usually 80-something over 50. And my heart rate is 48. But I do love to laugh. I get that from my parents.

    Doesn't describe me at all, my pressure edged up to the high side... (but not really high) well under control and if I got into a less stressful job... might even go back on its own if I lost 20 lbs... and I don't get excited easy... unless someone pushes the right buttons.

    Being cool, calm, and collected and under control is not a bad thing. Easier said than done, though.

    In my job I can't lose control, so just as well I am the way I am, I think faster and clearer working with high risk (for falls) clients.
