Since I was about 10, I've experienced a significant emotional detachment from the world around me. I find it difficult to resonate with or understand the feelings of others, even in situations where grief or sympathy would be the correct or expected response. I've noticed that I care less about social or emotional connections, although I still want them, I just don't care about them. This constant feeling is starting to mess with my head. Even if I act normal around others, I can't shake it.

I can relate with you to some extent. I was about 12 when I noticed the same. But my my detachment was because I was always the smartest person in the room be it others my own age or adults. Because of this i just quit socializing with most people. I quit school and instead went straight to college when i was 14, but that did not change anything. I never had any friends who's opinion I cared about, they we collogues I had to tolerate when i needed some thing, other wise I never would have associated with them. I never even talked to my dorm mate. not one word . The only people I ever care about was my Identical twin sister. we did everything together she was my everything and my mom. Ilove my father but we are not that close.
I do not believe anything is wrong with you at all. It is the way you were made. Just like i am the way I am make.
