I feel no real connection with my mother, I doubt what I feel for her could even be called love, does this make me cold or heartless? This is what she called me after I told her how I felt

No, there's nothing wrong with you. If you don't feel love towards your mother, it's not anyone's fault. It's just sorta... the way it is. I'm basing my logic off of the assumption that your mom didn't do anything to make you feel this way.
I can relate. Like, my dad and I are close, but not as close as I feel we should be.

Na, ur fine. And like the above said. Assuming your mom did not some how make you feel that way about her. What she said wasn't nice. She should have made an attempt to be closer with you.
Its probably just natural, lots of people don't feel super close.

I feel the same. It's not our fault if we have parents that don't understand us, or if it's just the way we are. There's nothing wrong with it, I guess, but I wish I had a better relationship with my parents...

Like "poles" repel.
It is what usually happens between some mum-daughter and father-son.
Though I have big respect for my dad, I don't find myself close enough to him. It's just life, I guess.

No. It's not your fault you don't love your mother. You don't choose who you love.
I love my mom, but I'm not sure about my dad, I hug him goodnight out of duty, not love. I don't agree with a lot of his views and we get along but I don't really love him.

I agree with this. There's nothing really wrong about it. Don't force feelings and emotions.

I feel the same way, I don't think there is anything wrong with it.

I think I'm the same about my mum. I always imagine how I wouldn't care if she died and I just don't feel any sentimental 'mother-daughter' connection with her. Haven't for a verryyy long time. You can't help how you feel, it's just how it is so don't beat yourself up over it. Maybe it was just best to keep that to yourself though but there's nothing you can do about it now.
Actually it's been researched that during teenage years girls tend to drift further from their mothers and the same with boys and their fathers. I guess it's the clash between the same sexes. There's nothing wrong with you and don't let her make you feel guilty or hateful because you don't feel what you 'should' for her.

You can't help how you feel agree that guilt and hate are a waste

nothing wrong with it, but it's not good either. maybe it'll happen in the future. lot of parents are under stress, so they are distracted and not happy so that doesnt makes it easier for you to ignore them
