I am actually responding to your answer, in my question I didnt have time to explain that I am only able to feel pleasures. For example I know a lot about politics, and I am a black belt in tang soo do and that gives me pride. This feels good, but its more like the joy of eating or getting a massage, its still not "emotion". like if someone close to me would suddenly get hurt, I wouldnt be sad. Although I tried to draw some conclusions on my own and I believe a disease like this occurs in people who had difficult childhoods. Like somehow you get immune to emotions, I know it sounds wierd but its my guess.

Doesn't sound weird at all. So far from talking to a few people I know sharing a similar condition, it more than likely does come from some kind of childhood trauma. I know what you mean in terms of feeling certain pleasures. I carry a second degree black belt in Jujitsu, and it is something I greatly enjoy doing. It sounds like you share a similar condition to myself and the few others I know. Desensitization is more than likely the greatest cause for this, but it can't be the only thing. I can't force myself to feel, and most who have been desensitized can usually gain back a certain degree of humanity. I find myself drifting further away from emotions as the years go by. Once I do obtain my doctorate, I plan on researching this in a greater spectrum, possibly even getting a new diagnosis made for the disease. Keep in touch, I'd like to hear more about your life, what you think caused it, for instance.
Thanks, and good luck,
Nick
