I've started to lose all my sense of emotions and I'm not sure why.
I haven't properly met or talked to anyone for ages, yet I don't feel lonely. I don't mind my current lifestyle, I don't feel good nor bad about it. All I have is this gray, monotone feeling, like nothing really matters.
I used to be a very emotional person, if I didn't talk to anyone for a while I'd feel lonely and depressed, if I sat inside all day I'd feel bad, I used to crave social interaction and feel excited before events and such, people and things used to interest me. I used to be curious.
Now I don't care about anything. Friends, girls, work, traveling, things that used to interest me doesn't matter at all anymore.
I'm not saying I wish I cared again, but life at this point seems so dull and meaningless. I don't know how to move on or what to do next with my life.
I have a few hobbies which I spend pretty much all my spare time on, they don't make me feel much better, they just kill time and are more of a routine.
Anyone with similar experiences? What happens next? How does one deal with this?
Sounds like depression. Go to the psychiatrist if you can. If you can't or don't want to, try nostalgia or new things.
It does sound like depression. Your brain will atrophy if it's not engaged in anything.

I'm not sure, during my teenage years I had a long period which I refer to as "my depression" where I felt way worse and I considered suicide as a way to get away from all my overwhelming emotions.
Now on the other hand I consider suicide just to get away from this meaninglessness and boredom. I'm just afraid that what comes after, the nothingness, or whatever might be even more boring.
Back then I was afraid, even though I felt so much worse, I Instinctively wanted to live. Now dying doesn't scare me in the same way. It seems almost natural, like something I'd just do one of these days.
Thanks though, I'll look into seeing a psychiatrist,
