Yes you will alright with only one. You will stil be able to make babies and have a normal drive. I know of no physical disadvantage, or reason for an emotional reaction either.

Some people with single functioning testicle may have low testosterone level but not common. If your testosterone is normal, you are fine. Maintain an active life and eat healthy.
