Is it normal to want to become emotionless?

Emotions are distracting to me. Lust, happiness, sadness, anger. I want to think logically, I don't want to feel emotions. Has something happened that made me feel this way? No, it's just that I think I would think clearer and become more logical. Is this normal?

    Yes it is normal. Emotion is a primal survival trait. There for, it can not be expunged without a extensive evolution. Even the vulcans themselves are not completely devoid of emotion. They merely suppress and control them. So you to can adopt this way of thinking if that is your preference. Just be aware that doing so will remove a large amount of the human experience.

    I like emotions. Love and lust top my list. But maybe hatred for some of the dummies on here. Nope, hatred is too harsh.

    I'm sorry, first thing that came to my mind. I sometimes want to be like that also, too bad it rarely works. But it definitely makes sense, and could make life a whole lot easier.

    Well. I have completely voided myself of emotions. And let's just say, thinking logically is all well and good. I'm very good at it. But I don't think it's possible to completely get rid of them. Because since voiding myself of emotions. The suppressed feelings I've had have built up in an unhealthy way and I have went through a bit of breakdown with all the voices in my head and whatnot... It was... Fun >.> so if you insist on getting rid of them... Try and find ways of getting some emotions out in small ways regularly. Because you can't hold them back completely. But... Although I was good at letting my emotions out in small ways like that, they still managed to catch up with and get the better of me...

    - Yes, totally normal - I feel the same way - the vulcan way, without sounding too much like a nerd :)
