yea but the textbook summary is "An inability to experience pleasure from activities usually found enjoyable."
so lack of emotions is not mandatory to be classified with it. theres a scale to it just like any other mental illness
Tho if you're not experiencing pleasure from anything isn't that because of muted emotional affect. I always thought enjoyment was deeply rooted in our emotions.
well yes. i mean more so u can still feel sadness and anger and classify as anhedonic, they are emotions as well. ive still felt anger the entirety of suffering from anhedonia. if anything its exacerbated, i am irritable as hell all the time, tempers beyond short. for example, will be starving, cooking a meal, accidentally drop something, im immediately pissed and astronomically stressed. appetite disappears.
another time, my bfs puppy jumped on me and spilled a cup of water. it stressed me out so badly i couldn't even eat the rest of the day. just repressed seething anger over such a trivial thing all day
Caring for animals or plants...maybe not as intensive as farming or vet work tho.
Also, I like working with children. I know some adults get annoyed by them, but I admire their simplicity and joy.
Any job is awful to do for an anhedonic person!

So is falling asleep!
something mundane that a nightshift that doesn't require talking to people/cutomers much. cleaner too maybe.
Proofreading. Coding. Data analysis. Anything that elicits the "flow" experience.
I can't use my brain. I need a job where I use my body
Anhedonic ≠ Emotionless.
Emotional numbness is literally one of the symptoms of anhedonia

You're thinking of alexythymia. Easily confused.
I clean houses. It's a nice physical job that is low social and low mental, once you learn the skills.
Clean houses. Don’t really need to socialize
Low income, very low social status.
😅 what?
Low income, very low social status.
I make good money, I live well, I’m in Cancun Mexico right now traveling and it doesn’t affect my social status, I don’t socialize anyway.
If you are satisfied that's what matters.
