Is it normal to feel like this?

So this is hard for me to actually describe but here it goes. I am a 19 year old guy and i feel different than most people. I am quite shy but i am trying to overcome that. I feel like I am faking my interactions with people and simply putting on a mask because deep down I don't really feel anything for anyone. I have never been in a relationship before so I guess that has to deal with it. I just want to know if there is something I can do to change this or is this normal?

Wow. I felt like I was reading something I typed myself. I know exactly how you feel...I have been through the same thing. You to find who your true friends are and hold onto them. Also, go out more, meet new people, go places you never been. Do what you want to do and everything else will fall into place. Goodluck getting over this, I know it was hard for me. I still stuggle to this with talking to people.

I have felt like that since my Grandma died. I have dated many people and even had two kids yet still I felt...well nothing really. I rubbed it off as different things like social anxiety or the drugs changed me or so on...I finally decided that I just may be a robot. However, recently I have met 'someone' and I think I may have a heart, or something like that.
You just dont have the right people in your life. When you meet the right people, friend or whatever, then you will have sincere honest feelings with meaning.

Thanks for the advice. I think things are starting to get better so I'm hoping it's just a phase. I have met someone so I guess I'll see how things turn out.

You're normal. In this screwed-up world, it's easy to feel alienated.

have you ever watched Dexter on Showtime? Not saying that you should go out and kill people (though he only kills murders), but you may be able to relate to him and his dad on the show.

They are what is known as a sociopath. They know right from wrong (intellectually), but don't have the same emotions/feelings that most people do.

or you could "just" have a serious long-term depression. I'd seek therapy to work out what's what. especially if you'd like to have a more normal life. you may also need medication if you have a chemical imbalance
