I feel completely empty all the time, not sad just empty like there is absolutely nothing inside of me, i never feel happy or sad or anything else. When i'm in a situation when i'm supposed to feel like happy or sad or another emotion i just fake it. And also i don't have feelings for anyone, neither my family or best friends, when something happens to them, no matter if it's good or bad i just don't feel anything, i completely don't care and when they talk to me about their problem i just act like i'm supposed to do like if someone is crying about something i just hug them and tell them that everything is gonna be ok, but i only do this because i know that this what i have to do when someone is hurt not because i want to help the person to feel better. The only things that i rarely feels are angry (and this only happens sometimes if i'm forced to things that i don't wanna do but usually i'm very indifferent even in these situations) or fear but very very rarely. And also i remember that as a child i care about my family and friends, so i don't know why i'm not capable of this anymore, but now i just do everything because i'm supposed to/ i'm used to do it, and very rarely i have sort of an interest (?) like i just start to do something and then i keep doing it because i like it but i still don't feel anything.
Are these things normal or i have some kind of mental disease?
(english is not my first language so i problably made a lot of mistake)

    Are you on meds or possibly depressed?

    I don't think it's normal but I sound exactly like you. I choose not to have emotions because they cloud your judgement and people would be stronger with out them. It's up to you to decide if you should change or not. You said you like to be that way, so why change? Don't let other people influence your personality, just be who you are and the answer will come to you.

    I know how you "feel" I was at a point in my life where I never knew what guilt or remorse in my life untill I killed a cat with my bare hands and began killing other animals just to feel this feeling of remorse I've never felt before. Try strangling a cat or dog with your bare hands. Or substitute that kill with pellet gun shot to the head and then perhaps a strangle which I had to do one to a dog cause it wouldn't stop yelping in my back yard after a head shot. Try it I promise you'll feel something.
