i dont feel empathy,remorse or guilt.....?

i do feel feel emotions but not strong emotions.for instance i dont "love"anyone and i cant understand it.i dont trust anyone,but i have many friends,i get along with people but i dont tell them very little about myself,i dont feel any empathy for some one who is sad or suffering,i cant console people.i feel awkward at funerals.i never felt sad for a human being nor have i felt guilt i dont do things just to make some one happy, i am candid.i dont do things that seem irrational.for me it feels irrational to smile when some one smiles at me for no reason.

i do laugh and get occasionaly get angry,over the years i ve learnt to curb my anger,and i usually stay calm and dont react,i dont give a damn if some one spreads rumors about me for instance

however i like animals,i somehow "connect"with animals.

i just want to know why ami like this ?is this genetic?is

Update:

i have this weird sense of "doing the right thing",i do good things like helping people out and opposing wrong things but i do these things because i think they are right not because i care about these people

    You might have Asperger's or Schizoid Affective Disorder. If it was the second you likely wouldn't have a lot of friends though. It's good that you do good things, and you are opposed to wrong. The only way to get a diagnosis would be to test, such as the MMPI.

    Good luck.

    Hmm . . . you've got a problem, but don't we all :)

    First of all, finding out what is wrong will not change anything. So once you know what's up, there's no reason to freak out or anything! In fact, you could be happy that you can now work out the problems.

    What you are describing here sounds like a personality disorder characterized by lack of empathy (and remorse, guilt, etc) If you'd like to read up more on it, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychopathy.

    You're not crazy. You're not a psycho killer. In fact, there might not even be anything wrong with you at all! You won't know until you visit a professional (which is not on Yahoo answers XD) I connect with animals as well. For some reason, I've always wanted a wolf as a pet.

    Yes, it can be genetic, but it can also be generating. Check up with your doctor or a psychologist to see what your next step is, which may very well be go on with your life.

    Good luck! I hope you find a way to get over your problems. And I hope I could've helped a little.

    "Atheists, what makes you sense guilt? do you sense guilt?" i've got felt in charge over the extremely some issues i've got achieved. "once you do poor issues." that's an prolonged time because of the fact that I did something poor... "insulting non secular human beings and their ideals" On a catalogue of poor issues that would not fee a point out. i'm no longer a Drama Queen. ~

    I think you are an alien using the human body as a "vehicle" and are awaiting the return of your brethren on the day of judgment.
