When I was younger my sister caused a lot of problems right around when i went into 6th grade. Her being bratty and insolent led to my parents fighting quite often and that anger was usually redirected at me even when i had no part. eventually I learned to stop caring about it and got used to it kind of.
Now being 20 I don't really feel much emotion anymore. every smile I make is forced in some way to just be nice to people and not come off like a jerk. Almost any emotional expression I is forced. have I broken my emotions and is there a way to fix this?

no, you have learned to suppress them. It was a defense mechanism growing up. It is completely reversible. Your emotions cant "break" they are always there.
I'd say look up ways to re-learn how to express your emotions and how to stop from closing up. Or get a therapist who could guide you.
It took time to learn to be emotionless. It will take time to unlearn it.
But if you're persistent and do exercise that focus on this problem. You will get back to a more emotional you.
