I can't feel love?

For as long as I can remember, I haven't been able to feel love towards anyone, whether relationship love or family love I just can't feel it. I have a loving family and I've been in multiple relationships. It doesn't seem to add up. Is it normal?

    No one feels love. We feel familiarity and we have chosen to call some form of that love.

    I feel responsible for my child. I will do everything important for him. I will sacrifice my life if I KNOW it will save his. But that's because I am a man of responsibility. It's how I was raised. And I enjoy being that person. Others were raised to be responsible and don't do it. So what makes me different? I choose to do it because my personal feeling is that of enjoyment for it. So do I love my child or am I just satisfying the feeling of enjoyment of taking care of responsibility?

    Me. I'm choosing to fulfill my needs. It just so happens to work out in my son's favor.

    Easier to see that same example in relationships and family. Those are things that even if you walk away, others won't judge too much. But society and evolution dictates we MUST care for the children.

    But the honest truth. A good man enjoys being good. So he does thing thats viewed as good...based on his upcoming and culture, and overall surroundings.

    Love is a cute word. But it's not real.

      Love is caring about another person.

      Love is real

    Ik how you feel. However, my biggest issue rn is that I'm stuck in endless loops of trying to understand what everything is. I feel like I no longer know nor understand love. Or hope. Or simple happiness. Everything seems so complex, fake, or just the totally opposite of what its mean to be.

    I felt love once (romantic wise), it definitely was real/intense feeling.

    I have felt what I have thought is family love too for my parents in particular but only a few times. I mean I care about my family but I don't feel that love feeling anymore and not for a long time ever since I loved that person...

    Love sucks anyhow :/

    I don't feel love either. I don't really feel much emotion at all in general. Even as a kid I didn't. I don't think that's normal though, because everybody else seems to feel love. Just pretend to love them. They should be easy to deceive because they expect you to love them.
