Only in public. When I'm alone and able to absorb something naturally I feel it all.

Sometimes I think the only emotion I feel is embarrassment and even then it's usually second-hand

Sometimes I feel like I can't even get mad, like I just don't care. It has to be something really awful for me to actually be mad about something.

I think you’re either desensitized or haven’t allowed your body to process it yet.

I’m the opposite. I feel too much. I don’t “think” feelings; I feel thoughts sometimes.

Get rid of the should statements. You feel how you feel and theres no “right” way to feel in any situation

I used to get angry with people but now I can’t for some reason. Growing up I had anger issues and I tried really hard to get rid of them and I think I just went too far lol.
