Do I feel, at all? Emotions.?

This is a random question but how could I tell if im emotionless or if I dont feel, happyness, regret, anger, sadness, etc.

Ive been in different situations, my brother got my ipod stolen when he was using it. He told me and I didnt feel anything. I just shrugged and said "oh, well whatever" Ive lost someone i still love. But I still dont feel sad, regret for something I did. Looking back ive never been angry. My brother, I guess forgot my PS2 and a friends house. And never got it back. Didnt get angry, didnt show any emotion as to what happened.

I was diagnosed with aspergers in january. One of the syndromes that I show is I have trouble expressing my emotions. Which I agreed with. But now im wondering if I even have any emotions.

To those who answer you dont know me that well so I can see this being a difficult question to answer. But the only other person who I can think of to ask is a therapist. Except im not depressed. So I dont know any other reason to see a therapist.

Answer:
I dont have aspergers but sometimes i feel as if i have no emotion. I have been affected emotionally alot in the past but now i feel as if I have no emotions left.
i wish i was like that , im very sensitive and very emotional person i hate that

Therapists aren't just for depressed people. They can help with many mental problems and sometimes other problems, like with relationships. Go and check out a therapist and ask if they can help, it's worth a shot.
Maybe your also just very practical. Maybe your mind breaksdown emtional problems and concludes them as unimportant or just not worth getting worked over. Your body and minds knows how much it can take and if your emtions are to stress your body gets ride of them or surpresses them. It's just a theory. If you have intense dreams with strong emtions then it may be simi correct.
This is just the way you are. Some people don't show emotions, but most do. You seem to be a pretty easy going person, if you don't get mad a lot. If you don't trust someone dealing with something you own, you need to show it to them. It has to be for a reason, and don't let people control.
is curiosity an emotion? if so then there is an emotion right there. Everyone has emotions.
I have definitely found that everyone is wired up differently and everyone feels their emotions to different degrees. This is not necessarily a sign of something wrong. In fact, I'd say not getting upset over lost iPods and PS2s is the right way to feel! And sometimes when we lose someone, it's not clear how we should feel.

That being said, it might be helpful to talk to a therapist and get their opinion. Do you understand why other people get sad at certain things? Do you feel sad for other people when sad things happen to them? If you have trouble understanding why other people feel what they do, this could cause some trouble in future relationships so it would help to talk to someone about it. It's good that you are looking into this now, some people go their whole lives wondering something like this.
I know how you feel. I went through a tough time in my life several years ago & I felt no emotion at all. I didn't want to do anything & the few things that I did do; I felt like my body was in slow motion. I did talk to a councelor and it did seem to help me. I did need a Rx to help me through it, but I'm so glad that I found help. Maybe you should give it a try. There are many levels of depression. GOOD LUCK & HANG IN THERE
You are a lot more depressed than you realize. Yes you have emotions. Everyone does but sometimes it is hard to express them or recognize them. Go to a therapist. BTW, I know from experience what I just said.
wow you sound TOO laid back!
