Hi ~ What you have described is a good case of depression. I KNOW you said you don't "feel" depressed, but many times we are, and we don't know it. Depression makes you feel numb -- there is no joy or sorrow -- it's just "nothing." You have no desires, no goals, no wanting to do anything -- one tends to isolate, but if you DO get around people, it's boring!!
If I were you, i'd talk to my doctor and see what he thinks. Perhaps you should have some blood work done to make sure everything is ok. Then, maybe he'll prescribe an antidepressant, even if it's temporary. I know most of us don't like to take medication, but that's what it's there for. You'd take meds if you had diabetes, right? Well, depression is a serious illness -- and if you can make it better, you should.
i've been on an antidepressant for many years because I ALWAYS felt exactly like you do. I've been depressed since I was a child -- and the antidepressant makes me feel "normal" again. (whatever that is!!) I now can actually FEEL emotions -- I have the desire to do things, go places, see people.
Call your doctor -- I wish you the very best. God bless & take care. Hugs, Lee
