No emotions

Symptoms/Traits

I was told a few years ago by a therapist that I mentioned how I have no emotions and she told me I'm likely Schizoid. Today I was reading an article on "otrovert" and noticed it wasn't the same. I have been reading posts here and noticed that people here are not like me either.

Does anyone here have no internal or physical emotions? Did any of you have to fabricate fake emotions in order to fit in? No desire to have any attachments to anyone? Were any of you born like this?

This is how I am; I have never had any emotions in my life and fabricated emotions to fit in when I was 6 years old. I have never spoken to anyone about this for 40 years until I spoke to that therapist. I don't have any problem living completely by logic and being more like a computer then a human.

Because of not having emotions I can see how emotions get in the way of empathy since your emotions interfere with understanding of others emotions. I help people a lot because of this because I don't see any logical reason why not.

The only "friends" I ever had were there just to fit in and fitting in was just a logical game to me but did help me in various ways.

Now I'm free of having to associate with people but still observe the people around me because it is interesting.

PS. When I say I don't have emotions I have never felt anything like what people describe as emotions and the only associated physical sensations have been racing heart because of strenuous activity and my heart problem that started a few years back.
