Is it normal that i can't decipher my own emotions?

For a long time now, I can never tell exactly what I'm feeling. I mean, I know if I'm really upset or energetic, but I can't pinpoint a particular feeling.

Lately, I almost can't tell at all. I mean, I feel them, but I don't know what they are. I can feel the emotion as it's passing, yet I can hardly tell if it's positive or negative anymore. I opted to ignore my feelings all together. I hardly ever pay attention because I gave up on them. Recently, everything just seems bleak and boring. I can never get past those feelings because I don't know what anything else is anymore.

I don't know if I made any sense, but does anyone know what's going on? I am a teenager, though, at eighteen, I should have overcome my hormonal phase, right? Does anyone else experience this?

    When have people ever understood themselves perfectly? You're normal.

    Kind of weird, emotions that is. I don't feel many emotions, happy or sad. I have to think really hard as to how the emotion should feel to actually feel them, if that makes sense? I don't know if that's me geniuinly feeling them, or that my mind is able to fake the feeling.

    Everyone's hormonal phases are different. You might not be done yours just yet.
    I'm 21 and I still feel this way sometimes. I can have trouble making a distinction between anger and sadness. Negative emotions sort of blend into one. It used to be worse when I was your age though.
