DD passed away suddenly a day after she was born (2 years ago). I wasn't bitter or angry about her death. I thought I dealt with my grief. I became very withdrawn from people, which is fine as I always liked to be on my own. Recently, however, I have realised how unmoved I am when something happy/sad occurs (e.g., my graduation, bro getting married, etc. I don't feel anything - I acknowledge the event and then let it pass over me. It isn't that I am not happy for the person when something good occurs. I just don't feel it at an emotional level. I do find myself getting easily angered/irritated and I just don't where this is coming from. I feel like I am turning everyone against me. I don't think I am depressed. Any advice or similar experiences?

Why do I not feel anything? Effect of grief or something else?
