how can i tell my emotions apart?

i really dont feel anything anymore, i go to family funerals, friend funerals, and i dont feel a thing. from time to time i will feel something in my body, but i dont know how to react to it, i used to, but for some reason i forgot all of my emotions, and i cant tell them apart. i can’t tell the difference between happy and sad, anger or peace…so can people anyone give me advice on my situation or tell describe to me what a emotion feels like so i can grasp it and hold on to it.

I think you feel something, you just don’t react to it. It’s like you want to feel sad but your not, you want to feel sorry but you aren’t, you want to love them but you just can’t. Its a confusing emotion but yah.

Or maybe you just don’t feel anything.
happy: is WOOT OH YA UH HUH!!! :D
sad: CRY CRY CRY,, or the feeling like someone punched you in the stomach
anger: you feel like punching someone
peace: you are calm

It sounds like you may be a victim of yourself or of circumstance. You don’t feel anything because the automatic emotional gaurds take care of it for you. This is a form of dependance. You don’t feel happy when happy things happen because you may fell that you are undeserving of it. You don’t feel sad when sad things happen because there are worse things that happen to other people than yourself - therefore why should you feel sad? When a person dies, I think you secretly know their problems are over and thus it becomes pointless to feel anything at that point.
Give yourself a break there is no one that is going to live your life for you or “feel” for you as the situation calls for it. Although self-importance is usually looked at badly, you need a degree of it to communicate with other aspects of your own being. To not do so will bear down you one way or the other. You could mentally or physically pop, if you don’t deal with this - then you’ll be of no good to yourself or anyone else - no one want’s to relate to the living dead.

Good Luck
