When im calm i feel like i have no emotions at all like im empty on the inside. I feel like im a robot basically. Does anyone else have this feeling when calm.

My entire existence described in one sentence.

I'm quite the opposite, my sense of functioning is gone if there is any sort of chaos going on. I need things to be calm or I will have a complete meltdown.

I'm very rarely calm per se unless I'm alone in a room and even then I tend to have lots of thoughts running. I tend to always be slightly on edge these days because I feel too vunerable if I let my guard down and relax.
I do get the emptiness/devoid of emotions though. It tends to go relatively ok > slight annoyance > major upset > empty > relatively ok.
