Is it normal to not have emotions?

Well, I have never really been a happy person. I do have happy moments. Though it is rare these days. Never happy or sad ust sort of in between.Lately I have relized that I go threw these .. phases , lets call it . where I am numb. I dont care about anything, or anyone. If you ask me do I love my family I couldnt tell you. I don't really care to do anyting. I just want to seclude myself from everyone. Not the I need a moment to myself kind of seclusion but the I need to move somewhere in the middle of nowhere and live there forever seclusion. Then when its over I return back to my nuetrual state. Any thoughts as to what this could be?

    For the seclusion thing:

    I used to dream about going in a camp in the middle of nowhere, and be all alone for however how long I felt like it. But now, I've found myself a nice bachelor apartment where nobody is invading on my privacy and it does the trick really nice. I still have to see people here and there, but I know that I have my own little nook waiting for me when I get back home.

    The craving for going living in the middle of nowhere as left me. I have the quiet I need right here at home.

    You act as if happy and sad are the only two emotions to exist.

    I don't really have emotions, I just push them deep inside behind a wall and refuse to feel. It makes life much easier when ppl fuck you over, leave you, and try to hurt you. Never have had my heart broken, I don't miss people, I'm not happy/sad/angry, just kinda numb.

    Lucky you. I wish I didn't have feelings people especially when people try to make me upset. Maybe because nothing really bad or traumatic has happened to you to make you really sad you don't get really happy. Maybe one day some one you know will die and you will fall in love.

    I'm similar to that. There was a time when I really wanted to escape to some island somewhere and just live like the cave people, no joke! I was gonna just let myself go. Everyone thought I was joking when I used to tell my friends I was gonna runaway and live like an animal or something. I think what brought on that thought was, that I really just wanted to die. But its weird because right at this very moment if you were to ask me if I wanted to die, the answer would be, no.

    I experienced something very weird around the time when my grandmother passed away, back in february. My sleeping habits were all wacked out. I was staying up until like 3 in the morning just walking around my house pretty much doing nothing, watching tv, pacing, cooking food(at like 1 in the morning!), etc. When I finally did fall asleep, I would wake up like 2 hours later, and repeat the next night. I was hardly eating during the day, because I had really no appetite. And this all lasted for about a month. It was scary. I thought I was never gonna get out of that dreadful schedule.

    You should really get checked out, though. If you want help... it could be depression.

    This only happened to me because other people wanted it to. People would say "Oh, look at that kid that has no emotions" or whatever, but I know that they are just being total assfaces, and I just ignored them because I know that I have emotions really.

    it's definitely not normal, although I was exactly like that. But I was depressed back then, you may want to check if you are depressed.
