Sailing emotionless. Want to hear if you are going through the same?

Its wierd. I am working on my startup. Something on the lines of a social app that doesn't waste your time in endless scrolling. Whats your goal, do that and close the app.

Anyways, I feel like I have lost the ability to feel happiness or sadness. Everything that Im doing, just feels like sailing through the waters, emotionless. I have people around me who love me, but I just feel like Im wasting my time into useless things, even sometimes talking to them.

Its not even like im getting high on my work. Its just feels like a responsibility that society needs this, not like im a workaholic or maniac.

I used to feel good playing games or just enjoying small things like eating in peace or watching a good standup. But nothing excites anymore.

Do you guys go through the same sometimes? Feeling emotionless, don't even know, nor care or what's happening around you?

Avoid "go therapy" in comments. They are more crap. Ty :)

Happens sometimes, can be burnout. Try a vacation maybe, when was the last time you took one?
