I seem to have no real emotions. I can remember from my childhood being told that I was not reacting properly to most situations-I was even ridiculed for this by classmates. I learned by watching and now seem to laugh, cry, and become angry in the right situations, but . now that I have children and a husband I am worried that my 'learned' reactions will not be enough and that my children and my relationship will suffer because of this.
Does anyone understand this? Have any advice? Know anything about this kind of problem?
Thank you in advance for your time and thoughts.

Did something happen to you at a critical point in your life that has robbed you of your ability to feel emotion?
You said you are married. Was this just a way of "acting" normal or did you fall in love with him. You don't really say if he is aware of this, so you must have learned to parrot emotions very well. Its understandable that you would want to feel something. Know what others are feeling. Is there a therapist that could help you understand why you are unable to feel?
