Is it normal that i don’t feel anything

Ever since I was a child, I’ve never really felt emotions on the same level that other people seem to. I have no problem understanding other people’s emotions and I can pretend to feel what they do but I always find that deep down I don’t really care.

I’ve always had trouble making friends because I find myself deliberately winding them up or upsetting them just to see their reactions.

I do care for the few people I am very close to but with friends and acquaintances, the small thrill I get from hurting them generally overrides my desire for a real friendship.

Is it normal that I feel so detached and empty?

    Normal for autists. but I’m the same way tbh just not to that extent or for those reasons. Most people don’t care as much as they’d like you to believe, anyway.
