Conundrum, that was very bad journalism--insensitive AND inaccurate--someone's ignorant opinion. I'm sorry your experience was given that thoughtless spin.
:(

~~~ As far as I know yes.
Very short and sweet.~~~ Well, it was thankfully short.
I have a twisted gut reaction to anything in the mass media that addresses what goes on here. Irrational I know, as this IS a public board. I know there are voyeurs and critiquers but I think I'm more comfortable when the window peekers don't write articles for mass media.....stangely, even if they appear S O M E W H A T positive. I feel a bit protective of the deep intimate feelings, opinions and concerns, however anonymously, voiced here. I don't like to see that digested and spit out for public consumption in magazine articles.Again, I know my feelings are irrational. This place is about as public as it gets... but those feelings are the ones I own about this type of thing.

"Despite Hsiungs caution and control, weird threads pop up all the time, including, not long ago, one about how to love your family more through a pill. After voicing a traditional complaint Why am I not sad when I should be sad? "
What the. This isn't a weird thread. This is a serious concern and source of frustration for people with anhedonia.

Not being able to feel love and emotion towards friends and family is a serious concern and source of frustration for people with anhedonia. I'm a bit annoyed at the journalist finding it "weird". But I suppose this experience is difficult for people without anhedonia to comprehend.

Conundrum,
I was resentful too after reading that part where the author said it was "weird" to want to treat lack of emotion with medication. They have no idea what kind of purgatory we anhedonics are stuck in.

I was thinking of buying it since I'll probably never make the NY times again, but then i realized it was a POS article and don't care. Its not like its something I can share with people I know anyway.

I don't think I could find better company to be irrational with.
I draw a difference between a focus of what folks are up AGAINST as opposed to what they are up TO.
I believe the focus of this article was a bit to the horn trumpting side because there is such a site created and maintained. However, the site is what it is because of the participants and some wrenching difficulties and confoundings. I would really dislike thinking of the words: intrusive and exploitive to serve the purpose of horn blowing.
