Felt like this for nearly two years after my dad passed away in 2016. It was basically my body putting up a wall in fear that if I loved something it’d just die. It’s actually a fear what you’re describing. You don’t want to get too attached to anything incase it suddenly dies.
I got out of it by getting a summer job and helping other people that felt this way. I assure you, your feelings will come back, but they’ll be different. Hopefully in a good way.
Until then, I’d suggest a therapist/counselor or getting a job in which you interact with a lot of people.
