Is it normal that i have no feelings

i never feel anything. i dont cry at funerals, i sometimes feel empathy but not often. i dont think i've ever felt love or someone's love. i'm pretty social in general and people like me a lot but i'm just playing a role, i'm kind of dead inside and i have no idea why i'm so cold. could it be depression?

Is It Normal?

  • It could be apart of depression.

  • I am similar, well I do have feelings but they are not very strong. I feel sorry for people and love my parents etc. but I don't cry during funerals and it is easy for me to leave people behind, my emotional attachment is never strong enough. My friend tells me that I am empty inside but I prefer my flatness than her ups, downs and never ending drama.
    Don't get obsessed with your lack of feelings, I am sure they are there, they are just quiet and calm.

  • It may go away in time like it did for me. Once you find a great friend those feelings could emerge

  • I'd assume it's because you want more than life can give you, than what's possible and it's made you just see everything else as boring. I had the same issue, I'd say I've still quite got it to an extent.

    The best thing to do is just set realistic goals, don't envy what you see on TV or books, and aim for realism. It's not easy, and hey, alcohol helps. Haha.

    Edit: Don't depend on alcohol either, though.
