Some people just naturally aren't as emotional, just like some people aren't as logical as other people. (Think humanities vs math and science people) Some people have repressed their emotions either consciously or unconsciously. Many times that happens when emotions become too painful for someone. This not a healthy thing.

Happy New Year! Some people have gone through some things in there life that makes them the way they are. And no matter what others say or do for them they will have little or no emotions just as you say. It could be a death in the family or they may have just broken up with there man friend or woman friend or maybe they lost there job or they could get there way with someone or something that they thought they could and some just dont have any feelings at all baby that's just the way it is. I depends on there life situations and wha'ts going on with them at the time or if it's been going on for a while but you should'nt worry yourself about those people because if you do you will become like them and then you to will have that same emotional problem within yourself.

many people r very emotional, many are not. Cultures look at men as strong and it is not an ordinary thing for guys to show too much emotion. I do not agree with such theory cuz whether ur a man or a woman, ur a human being with lots of feeling and emotions. I do not consider myself too emotional, i guess im in the middle, im a lot more practical. but my husband is so very emotional a lot more than i am. some ppl r just born this way, it all has to do with their hearts and mind. u cannot control someone into being emotional or not.

A lot of men think if they show their emotions it is a sign of weakness.In today 's world it is much more common and accepted for Men to show there emotions.Personally I think we all have emotions as much as the next person,some bottle it up inside,but regardless they are there and sooner or later they will surface it might be in a way that's not to cool if you don't deal with your emotions as they come.The trick for a healthy life style (You need to control how you act and think when it comes down to emotions instead of your emotions taking over to a point as to where you have no control of ones own self.)some people are born autistic though,they have no emotion at all ,material or personal, if you asked if they ever loved or hated someone they could not tell you,it would be like asking a person born blind if they thought the sky was pretty,they don't know what pretty even is,so thank the lord for your emotions, imagine how lifeless your life would be without emotions,men weren't born to be like cold blooded reptiles.(LOL)

There are people that have a lid on their emotions naturally, and they feel but dont show it. Others are bitter and have controlled their emotions to a fault but they still feel too but they block it out till they get ulcers, because the subconscious mind never sleeps and eventually. Well it is an old story, like old Scrooge it catches up with them with age. It is hard to be the only one that is emotional but that is something we share in common, so we are not alone are we. Don't change and get bitter live laugh love and be happy and have a Happy New Year

It is not wrong to feel emotions. They are part of being human. Do not try to ignore them or avoid them.
Some people have deep emotions, but hide them for a variety of reasons. And there are some who don't feel emotions like the majority do. I believe they are called psychopathic.
There are also some people who exhibit nothing but raw emotion, and I find them exhausting and melodramatic. But this may just be 'normal' for them.

I went through a phase when I was younger where I was pretty emotional too... Now I hide most of my emotions maybe the people you think aren't emotional are just good at hiding them.

It's not wrong to feel emotions or to feel emotional. I completely agree with everyone who says "of course not." as an answer..
And I don't feel it's wrong if you don't feel a lot of emotion either. I don't feel much emotion. It probably has to do with how you take in information around you. Like if somebody is being stupid, I don't feel like "HEY! YOU'RE BEING A JERK!", i'm more like, "Hey, that guy is not very cool or smart."
Everything keeps coming down to always being able to see the big picture.
Also about the good comment above (and I do believe it's a good comment), I honestly don't feel like I have emotions repressed, maybe I do and I don't realize it (it's a possibility), but I feel like my heart is on my sleeve most of the time actually.
koldsauce I completely agree. This reminds me of this lady at work who gets so frustrated and upset with customers who piss her off, and she always envies my ability to laugh at them instead of getting upset with them, even when they are directing their negativity at me. I'm not saying i'm impervious, I just have a high breaking point, if you know what I mean.
I don't believe this type of person (who has a high breaking point) is bottling anything up.. The people who are bottling things up are VERY emotional, you see. These are people who are not very emotional outwardly, but who bottle things up until they lash out on somebody..
Yet keep in mind there ARE people who are not very emotional who see the bright side\big picture, and see situations for what they are, temporary.

We are wired to have emotions. And everyone is wired differently.
Some people just seem to be made of stone. Some just don't have the capacity to feel deeply as others.
Then there are people who are sociopathics and psychopaths....they are mentally ill.....they don't have feelings like a regular person does.
Yep, some people will never be very real. that is just how it is.

Of course, it's not wrong to feel emotions.
Is it wrong to be who you are? Of course, not.
Some people are emotional and some are not. However, I think everyone has feelings - maybe some people try to hide them from other people or even from themselves. It's their way of coping with their emotions.
So you are an emotional guy - that's how you deal with your emotions - you let them out - why not?
I am an emotional girl and I would never think of shutting myself down - it wouldn't be good for my mental state and I wouldn't be me.
So to thy own self be true and feel whatever you feel.
I hope you are feeling good.
