do any other autistics realize they're not emotionally invested in anyone or anything and are actually putting up a mask of emotion everywhere they go forever and ever or is something more sinister going on with me

I’m a weird mix of faking emotion and repressing emotion 🤷

Not autistic (got ADHD) but I have really dulled emotions unless it’s something that requires a lot of emotion. Check out alexithymia. It’s a personality trait characterized by difficulty identifying, understanding, and describing one's own emotions and those of others. It’s common in neurodivergent people.
