It's a weird thing, Deneb. But sometimes we don't feel what we're actually feeling. There's a kind of blanket that hides our feelings from us.
You say you don't *feel* emotional connection to your family, but I've often seen you *act* emotional connection to your family.
I had the same problem once, and I still do to some extent. It is good and useful and a protective thing sometimes. But it can also cause feelings to build and grow without awareness until they suddenly, with no previous warning, explode. I've found it helps me to be more aware of feelings on a lower level.
Anyway, I just wanted to say that not feeling emotions doesn't necessarily mean they aren't there.
