Is it normal to have no emotions and purpose of life ?

I am 19 male in a very prestigious engineering Institute.
The problem I face is that I don't feel any kind of emotion and feelings and sensitivity . And what's worse that I don't even try to fake them.

I think that reason of their un-social nature is that I don't find this society going anywhere. I don't like the intellect of people. I don't like people falling emotions and then asking me that why I don't respond to them emotionally like why I don't ask about their health. These things just don't mean anything to me.
Another consequence of this is that I don't feel like doing anything in my life. No job. No family and children.

Also I don't believe in God. But sometime I get the feeling that there is afterlife and maybe that may be more important or less waste. I fail to understand the grand purpose of life (mine and entire human race).

This feeling was has been even increased after watching fight club. I got the notion by that movie that our life is useless.

    Life is just a big "And then what?" Get and education "And then what?"
    Get a job. "And then what?"
    Get a partner. "And then what".
    Have kids. "And then what?"

    Until you realize you're going to reach the same destination as everyone else anyway.

      I agree with both what you said and how you said it. Ultimately there is no point to life, but most people do what they are "expected" to do by society. And it's sad that so many people feel trapped because they never think about the deeper meaning behind it all and just blindly follow the so-called "conventional wisdom".

    You're only 19. You're self-absorbed. It's normal.

    Prestigious engineering is an oxymoron.

    I relate to your post a lot although I do want to do stuff with my life. Just not the same things other people want, which I would feel would be a waste. I would rather be homeless than live the way most people live.

    I think the point of life is experience. Without experiencing anything you haven't really lived and most people go their whole life without really living life.

    It's easy to think there is no point when you live in a society full of morons who all do the same things.

    I get glazed sometimes too. As you learn more at the university, hopefully a small amount of it will resonate with you. If you pursue that branch of study, you may eventually discover a passion within you that you were never aware of.

    Would you rather flip hamburgers your whole life or develop leading edge weaponry to make nasty people uncomfortable? Eventually something will seem more interesting than the janitorial arts.
