“I don’t know!” How to fix this?

I’ve been sitting with this dilemma for a while now.

People ask me how do I feel. I answer I don’t know.
What am I passionate about. I don’t know.
Are you excited for tomorrow? I guess
Could I come visit tomorrow? I don’t mind
Blue or red? It does not matter - it’s just a colour.

People have actively started telling me that this is weird and I should try and work on it.

I’ve never had someone decide for me how I feel and what I like - ever. This is not the cause of a toxic parental relationship. I don’t drink. I smoke cannabis once a month. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I exercise 5x a week.. I live a healthy lifestyle.

I try new things but nothing really gives me a happy spark in my heart or grabs my interest.

I feel like I don’t know what I feel. Maybe almost outer body or like in auto pilot?
I cannot recognise when I’m happy, mad or sad. When I cry, I suddenly realise - woah this did hurt me.
How do I become more in touch with my feelings? It’s destroying my relationships.

I’ve thought of maybe starting a journal? I’m open to reading books.
Any advice would be appreciated.
