What is it called when I can feel other people's emotions but when it comes to my own, I am apathetic? This has only happened after a terrible relationship and even worse discard by a covert narcissist. I don't seem to feel my own joy, or sadness. I am genuinely happy for people and their successes, and saddened by their discomforts. But when it comes to my own, I feel like I could "take it or leave it." I can't afford an actual counselor. Do you have any insight, please? I am at a loss and understand this is not healthy.
