Lack of Emotion?!
Question: It seems as if I have a lack of emotion when certain situations occur.
For example, when I am recognized for something, I don't feel anything. If someone is really happy about something, I don't feel anything. If I am going on an exciting trip I don't feel any excitement until I am actually at the place I am headed toward.
When someone gives something to me, and it could be anything, I have no emotion toward it. I think the last time I was excited about a gift was when I was given a camera that I needed. Everything else was no emotion. If anyone else has had this issue, what is it with me? It's not that I'm ungrateful toward people because I do thank people and I appreciate what people do, but what the heck?!?

Your lack of emotional response could have been learned in childhood as a defence mechinism. If you have always been that way and are content, don't woory about it.
If you can't feel emotion about people or other positive things, you may have a form of depression.
counseling might help
nothing's wrong with you..
everyone just reacts to situations differently
don't feel bad if you know you're sincere and genuine with gratitude
