This is a big thing to be working on. I, too, struggle with emotions, but rather from the other side. I have spent too long trying to make everyone happy and to react only in acceptable ways and put empathy for others over my own feelings, I sometimes have a hard time figuring out how I feel about something. I used to deal with analyzing a situation and then deciding what emotional response would be adequate. But not because of a lack of things to feel, but rather from having bottled up my emotions for too long so they were all one big tangled mess and I always had all the feels, which was too much, so I put a lid on and carefully chose one, making things worse over time... I spent too long thinking my feelings not relevant. I am looking forward to reading from you and to get to know you from this side, too. Sending hugs!
