Im a 16 y/o male
I started to feel less and less, emotional since i was 11 and im now emotionally "dead." I have never told anyone because they'd think i was crazy or depressed. So i hide behind emotional "masks" living each day just for the sake of living. i can count the number of things that i might care to do on one hand, and its like i have to be constantly on guard. physical stimulus doesnt work either, im able to simply ignore pain and arousal. Im wondering if this can be reversed or im stuck like this. any advice is appreciated (link)

I have and still am going through the same thing. I still can't feel deep emotions. I never really even started feeling others emotions either. I pretty much put up a mask to make people think I am "ok", but every once and awhile the mask slips and certain people catch on. It's hard to keep friends when they figure me out but if you keep the mask up you get better at it. I never let anyone get close. when people ask me things i generally turn the conversation into talking about them. Its easy people love talking about themselves. Plus just act happy around your parents. They will probably think you are crazy. If you want a doctors appointment make up another excuse. Surround yourself with people who can express their emotions and just play the part.
I've seen doctors and they havent really given me a reason as to why I am like i am, but that doesnt mean they can't help you. they said I do have some brain chemical imbalances, but nothing for sure. Im told its more likely a personality disorder. It's rough but you get used to it. Another thing I find that helped to tell 1 close friend about it. I mean you really have to trust them. My one "friend" constantly covers for me and it has made social situations considerably better. I have found its better no knows me to well. Some are fascinated and others think I am a freak.
Not to sound even more insane, but there is a girl that for some reason whenever im around her I begin to feel. It's awkward because im not sure what im feeling. I think I was nervous but I havent felt emotions in along time so its hard to remember what some are.
If you can get help from a doctor good, but in case its something you can fix there's some tips on how to make living socially a tad easier. Last alcohol DOES NOT HELP. It feels good, but does not help.
Good luck

why is important for us to accept and feel the emotion we are feeling? why is bad to be in denial or try to fight it? is it true that if we keep bottling up emotions or feelings we won't really notice the things around us? (link)

Im an 18/m and I am a firm believer in keeping your emotions bottled... I still feel. I just don't like others seeing me upset...Its not like you have to bottle every emotion, you can still be happy and sad just don't go over board.
I agree a little with the people who previously answered this question "no one likes a robot" Also no one likes a person who does nothing except talk about how they feel. Also do you think people that went through the depression or ww2 by talking about how they felt?!? No the gritted their teeth and just went on with life. Some say it is unhealthy to live that way, but so is everything else from cell phones to cigarettes.
My suggestion is that you live according to what makes you happier. If you like to talf about your feeling be my guest.
But if you feel hiding them and burying them then thats ok. Every one dies one day so it really depends on you..

The best way to keep your resolve is to constanly be able to remind yourself why you made the decision. Also I find it easier to keep at something if I feel that I'm doing for good reasons and I will be better for the experiance.
Hope I helped.

Im an 18 year old male and I know what its like to have everything around you feel like its going wrong. What i suggest you do is find the closest person to you and talk to them. DOn;t say everything at first. Start with little things. then gradually move toward the more pressing problems in your life that you would like to talk about. As you relieve some stress things will begin to get better.
