I noticed this years ago when I first was started on citalopram and at the moment it's worse than ever.

I feel like I have absolutely no emotional side to me whatsoever. Like a robot or something. Whenever I feel down I usually find that crying helps me, but I just can't do it. I feel like someone could walk in here right now and give me terrible news and I wouldn't even bat an eyelid.

The thing is, if I'm watching something sad on TV I can easily cry at that, but when it comes to normal daily life I can't even express more than a smile. It's so strange. Does anyone have this problem with a lack of any emotion?

Psych drugs can cause emotional flatness. Can you try another drug?

I have that issue without drugs, the iron giant dies and I get sad, a real person dies and I feel nothing

If anything im....I'm not sure what word would be appropriate, content that another human is dead, I find myself sad that it wasn't more of them, maybe sad not right, disappointed. i don't hate people, I'm apathetic towards them. I think it disappoints me because I find humans inconvenient. That's not to say I don't pick a few from time to time to befriend, but I think it's more like having mice in a lab, learning their behavior so I can fit in better with the other mice
