Why am I so unemotional?

For as long as I can remember, my emotions have always been quite limited. I tend to experience emotions in rare and brief increments. But I'd say that a good portion of my life is spent through a very non-emotional perspective. Don't get me wrong...sometimes it works out in my benefit, seeing that I don't have emotions that get in the way of things. But then again, I feel so empty at times; like there's a never ending void inside me.

Someone I know told me that I might be a sociopath. I don't feel like a sociopath...lol. I just don't experience emotions like the average person I guess. I very rarely cry. My idea of depression is more like feeling absolutely nothing...not even excitement. The only emotion I frequently experience is anger, irritation, and annoyance...if you would consider those emotions.

Thoughts?

My thoughts go to depression or sociopathy.

Growing up, did you ever notice that you’re somehow different from other people?

@InvaderNice Oh yes. The one thing I noticed growing up, is that I was constantly daydreaming, even when in public or when interacting with others. My unemotional mindset, combined with constant daydreaming created a real disconnect between me and other people.

My issue is that I’m overly emotional but I try to build a wall and pretend like I’m not
