is it possible you are depressed, you have numbed your feelings. I only say that response to the fact that you feel guilt over your inability to express yourself so essentially you do feel, and you have a conscience which is always promising! It can be easy to think its easier not to feel and subconsciously you will begin to act that way, but in the long run you will find that you isolate and alienate yourself, you feel different to others, and this just exaggerates everything equating to a deeper depression and becoming more introverted!, so i would try and talk to someone close, like a parent about it, and work out why you aren't indulging in feeling (as with your guilt you clearly have the ability to do so). Are there things that overwhelm you? Things you find difficult to comprehend/understand etc..., and of course doctors and therapy can follow if that doesn't help :)

It is perfectly normal not to talk about your feelings so openly. thats just how some people are. If you are depressed or dealing with your feelings in an unhealthy way, however, such as cutting yourself or something like that, then it can become a problem and you should seek help so just be careful. As for the people that have to deal with you, just explain that your not really good at talking about feeling and you really don't like to and they should respect that.

I like your comment. I used to be an extremely emotional person, and then after I figured some things out and grew up, my emotions settled down into a much smaller spectrum. I don't get irritated at others telling me their emotions (I am extremely patient), but rather I know all the right things to say to validate them and make them feel better so that we can talk about something else and still be great friends.

Less emotions and more logic can be a good thing, in balance.

I am just like you! I'm very rational, I don't get worked up over little things, but now my rationality has been making me into a robot. I don't really care about anything, it seems like nothing really needs to be cared about. I sometimes get happy, and sad, along with the other emotions, but i'm never too emotional about anything. My friend just told me that it's not normal and that I should see a counselor, perhaps you should as well?
