I find it annoyingly easy to conceal my emotions. It's not that I don't feel them. I actually feel them quite strongly, but it's almost like I subconsciously dumb them down instantly, and my face barely twitches. Is there a name for this?

PS. It's almost as if there's a part of me that doesn't want to feel, so I conceal it as best as I can.

Apathy.

Unless you're looking for a disorder, but the only PDs I could link you to would require other significant symptoms. Are you incredulously vain, does the world truly revolve around you, or do you have a thriving criminal record? If not, I wouldn't get worked up about that.

I mean, I'd say it's just a personality trait. A personality trait that you can break, if you wish. Many of us are just very much private with our emotions. I used to be, then bipolar happened. But it's rather common. Hey, there's a whole Hogwarts house for people like you. The sorting hat is placed on top of your head, and he states profoundly, "Slytherin!"

Welcome to the house! :D You can have the bed next to mine!

But seriously.
