Recognizing genuine emotions.

Does anyone else have this problem when trying to recognize their emotions? 

The thing is: I can be quite obsessive plus have a good imagination etc. I am not very good at recognizing or even registering my emotions generally (often it can feel as though I have none at all) so sometimes when I do feel something it seems as though I am just convincing myself that I am when actually I am not. That I am imagining it or have worked myself up and the feelings have become super exaggerated as a result etc. Does that make sense? 

Anyway, I was wondering whether anyone had any tips on how to cope with this or figure out whether my emotions are genuine or unintentionally fabricated? 

Thanks in advance.

  • Same here. Do I , "love" my wife?" Don't know, not 'in love' don't think I ever have been, infatuated? Yes. and think the world of her as I did my first wife and still do, but I almost feel like a sociopath. 

    Being a 'Vulcan' can have it's upside too. Live long and prosper.  Vulcans have emotions but suppress them).
