Lack of emotion
When you don't feel feelings that usually cause others, or yourself in the past, to have feelings -- especially if that lack of feelings persists for many days or longer, it indicates emotional &/or physical difficulties that can seriously impair one's well-being & usually others around you. One should consult a psychiatrist or therapist -- perhaps on referral from your primary care provider.
