How to connect with emotions

I tried to ask myself "how do I feel?" and the answer is "I don't feel nothing" most of the times.
How can I connect with my emotional part to start aknowledging how I feel?

The only emotion I can feel is anger, everything else is "emptyness"

It's not so much a state than a construction.
People that have lots of emotions simply builds them up, sometimes, oftentimes, exaggerate. They might even fake it till they make it.
Basically, how you feel is more or less the wrong question, the real one is how you want to feel.

But basically, people connect with emotions through prayer, and it has the characteristics I enumerated above. It's at the same time praise, wish, and introspection. If you spend exclusively on introspection, the end result will be emptyness, because emotions aren't always there, and they certainly aren't when you introspect. If only anger comes up, it's because you are in the habit of wishing it and idealize it. But that can be done with any other emotions too.

Do you have a friend to disclose your emotional state at least daily?
Say: “ I feel X” where X is “angry” (no need to explain why, unless you want to)
Ask your friend reply with a short and neutral phrase like “welcome”

Repeat as often as feel a need to connect with someone, disclose your emotional state. Make up the state if you have to. Maybe occasionally it’s “sad” or “ confused “ or “ mad” or “ disgusted “. Hey! Maybe even “ happy”. Still same neutral reply is all that’s needed. Emotional states change like weather. Being a meteorologist of your state is not easy, but trainable

I think, I know what you mean. Alltough I don't feel empty, I just feel calm.

My oppinion: You don't have to be like the others. It's ok to feel less. In fact you're lucky that you aren't struck every minute by some emotional lightnings. I mean, look at bipolar or borderline people, not do speak of depressive, they have a hard time with all this emotions.

Said that, I think there are highly emotional activities, and maybe some cover the emptyness a bit. They more or less "creative" activities:
- Making or listening to music
- Dancing (trick: Don't leave the dance floor, then nobody will try to interact with you.)
- Cooking and eating
- Gardening, painting, sewing etc.
- Computer gaming

I think, theese are highly connected to emotions. No neeed to go totally "wow" with it. At least for me it adds a little sparkle.

Well, and caring for others ultimately pushes every internal problem aside. Maybe you'd still feel empty then, but it's no longer relevant.

I hope that inspires.
