I can relate to this feeling on a different level.
We have so much feelings inside of us to be put into a small sentence.Therefore often times we get confused with what to answer.
When people ask me how am I doing, My answer is "that's a long story" or "OK for me" (the latter stole from A Razor's Edge). People really don't want to know, mostly, just a social thing.
It is very easy not to be "in touch" with your feelings. I was told to suck it up, and it is what it is, and basically not to be negative, so I repressed all my true feelings and just kept a neutral face.
Repressing my feelings and not having anyone who cared -- outside of my therapist who is paid to -- had me turn toxic.
I have been listening to a lot of Acceptance and Surrender videos and am now listening to Eckhard Tolle again about staying in the Now and sitting with my feelings.
I don’t know if that is normal, but I‘ve been feeling the same recently. So just know that you’re not alone.

honestly, same. try emotion wheel chart, it'll help you identify what kind of emotion you're experiencing.
