Is it normal i barely feel?

I Have been looking around out of boredom and found this website. I've wanted to know why i don't really feel emotions. I still do feel them (I'm not a psychopath) but barely and only when there is something to really evoke them. I don't really understand people's feelings but i can still fit in with them. I've never had a bad traumatic experience in my life, and i don't have any urges to kill or cliche things like that. i'm no crazy genius like Tesla or Newton and i'm a mildly lazy person.

Is there anyone who feels like this, or anyone who can tell me why i'm like this? I remember being perfectly emotionally fine until i was about 10 and got interested in science, it kind of cut off from there. Anyone who can help?

    Trust me you're better off how you are. There's too much stress and pain in the world. Be grateful that you don't feel it

    Congratulations; logic has triumphed in you life! Sadly, life has no purpose or meaning, so the only real reason to exist is to feel happy, but I'm sure you'll be able find some things you enjoy. If you view it as a problem, apathy, disinterest, and lethargy can be symthoms of depression. If you think you're depressed, see a professional.

    I feel the same, I guess it's because of my asperger's syndrome...

    It just makes it hard to sustain a relationship (not just sexual) with anyone, because i can't really relate to anything. Besides, I honestly thought my predicament was a bad thing

    You have just learned to look at life with a rational mindset.Emotions aren't really rational, so they don't fit with science. Don't let the apathy lead all the time. Take deliberate breaks and allow yourself to feel and act spontaineously.You are still human, after all.

      Well, they clearly typed this question, so unless you've found an inanimate object that knows how to use a computer, yes. But I suppose the asker could be an AI....
