I am an 18 year old male and I have been a pretty emotionally dead person for...well since my early childhood. And when I say dead I don't mean depressed or really down or anything of that nature. It's nearly impossible for me to feel anything genuine and I can only put a mask of fakeness on so I don't seem so far out. When I was in a psychology class I read about something called anti-social personality disorder and it almost disturbed me how similar the symptoms were to my own character. I've done enough to put myself away for the better half of my life and I haven't felt a shred of remorse or conscience. Anyways, I'm wondering if my lack of emotion is a cause of concern. Nothing brings me joy, pain, or sorrow and I can't even feel love for my own family anymore. NOTHING will make me feel anything and it bothers me. All I feel like is a body and a brain without a soul. Something is wrong with me but I don't know what. I'm a very intelligent person and all it seems I can do is succeed with material things like work while my relationships are built on false pretenses and emotions I never even felt but acted like I did. My question is: If there is anybody somewhat educated about this...what could be wrong with me? Do I have anti-social personality disorder?...and am I stuck with this? (link)

I have the exact same thing and I'm 15 years old boy. I feel like this ever since my dog died 2 years ago, I remeber crying a lot for 3 days (she was older than me, been with me all my life). After that I started "loosing emotion", but I only noticed it when my niece was born and I "logicall love" her, and when my brother asked if I wanted to be her godfather and I didnt feel anything, nothing at all, this started worrying me.I still dont see how this could be a gift though, it makes it hard for to also hangout with friends, cause most of the time I just really feel like I dont give a f*** about anything.
