I was in a place similar to where you are about six months ago. The thing is, we're not too logical, we've just placed so much of our internal attention on the rational side of ourselves. You feel the emotions, you just don't pay attention to them, and since oyu don't pay attention to them, you think they don't exist, or exist at the same level as other people. Start paying more attention to your emotions AND to the emotoins of others. Try to read another person's emotions consciously while having a conversation. Find the emotions behind their words and behind their other emotions and you will learn more about yourself.

Another thing that really helped me is to focus more on my present moment experience of life (cause the future and past don't exist). And in this present moment, happiness and love feel awesome.

You've simply been afflicted by a problem that affects many highly rational people, we simply stop paying attention to our emotions and discount their usefulness. I think emotions tell us things, about ourselves and our surroundings. They're messages and reactions, essentially. Respect your emotions and other people's emotions. And definitely express your emotoins more.

I'm glad that you realized that, too. This seems like a period of intense improvement for you, congratulations.

I hope that helps.
