So hi I'm 17 and on here too much lol.
But I just started college and I definitely feel more free. My household was very. Over protective and I was never able to go out at all, so everything is new to me and now I'm ALWAYS out. I even found that I like being outside more than inside and that's crazy and cool. But I still can't get rid of this feeling- my emotions feel dull. I know when something should be funny, and I do laugh, but it feels fake. I can smile over texting someone I know, but other than that- fear, sadness, anxiety. All things I used to feel a lot a few years back feels like nothing. I get very little reaction. It's weird. I dont cry anymore (which is good) and I still have very low self esteem unfortunately.
What could it be? Is this completely normal? I hope nothing's wrong.
