Whats wrong with me

I act like i care about my family or the 1 or 2 friends i have, i help out, give my children hugs, say 'i love you' when required, listen to friends problems, laugh and chat but i seem to be missing the feelings behind them, i know how i should be feeling, happy, sad, angry at any given situation and try to act accordingly but anger is the only real emotion i have been able to express truthfully. I'm very confused as my friends are online and i could easily walk away, but my actions towards them and knowing 1 for many years now must mean i care right? you can't spend hrs each day for years talking to someone and not care about them, can you?

    It may be worth speaking to a doctor about mental health disorders just to rule it out, from personal experience this sounds like the start of depression. Becoming unfeeling and angry is more common than you think; in order to get better you should look into counselling, your GP should refer you.

    Originally i was told it was due to boredom, so i took up chess and cards, learnt more on human biology and began studying in my spare time online, but the more occupied i become the less i see the need or want for the company of humans. Many years ago i had a friend i thought had died, when we discovered he had been in an accident but was okay i felt relief, physical pain in my chest, i knew i cared, i felt it. When ive been hurt in the past ive been upset and cried and eventually felt numb and empty, this isn't like those times, i don't feel empty just a little disconnected, like the emotions are there i just can't access them, maybe i don't make alot of sense, its difficult to describe sorry

    Yeah ive already been to a doctor and although she said i showed alot of the traits depression looks for i was too intelligent for my own good and she could see i was not depressed rather repressed, but gave no further advice, i have always been someone who buried their emotions and wept at sad movies but the past year i havent cried once its beginging to bother me, my friends and husband have told me that i love them but i just don't feel it.

    I feel this way sometimes. I wonder if I'm a sociopath?

    sounds like your emotions are burnt out from years of extremes.
