just be real. chances are most people aren't interested in your psychiatric diagnosis...be you without the drama. laugh, relax, etc. when people ask me how I am I don't delve deep I to my cptsd diagnosis or physical ailments because it doesn't define me and I doubt most people really want to know.

use a little humor, it's good for the soul. open up, relax the boundaries some. be more then your diagnosis...life is too short to worry about explaining it in every conversation and situation. when they ask "how are you?" say..hungry, tired, fine, looking ahead to the weekend, what ever.

you say you don't feel emotions but clearly this has you worried..about presenting yourself...wouldn't that in itself be an emotion? maybe not a huge wide grin or deep abysmal sadness....but I would classify concern as being emotional.
