What the title says. I've never been abused or anything, I just don't love anyone. I keep up appearances with family out of guilt for not being emotionally available, but whenever one of them dies (2 have recently passed away), I always feel a bit a relief for not having to continue keeping up appearances with them.
Couple things: who you feel love for is entirely your prerogative and you don't need any guilt feelings for it. That said, not feeling love for anyone is a sad way to live, and will deprive you of natural nurturing that we all need. You might explore the reasons why and you maybe consider talking to a therapist about it.
If you really don’t feel any love for anyone then you may have a problem because people are not meant to have zero close relationships.
Normal to not be significantly affected by the deaths of family you are not that close to. But feeling guilt about it implies you do have some sort of emotional connection with them. It is normal to only really love your very close family members.
