Keywords in describing and learning more about your situation: blunted affect and anhedonia. Careful not to privilege any hypotheses for the cause of your condition. Also, the kind of depression you see in the media and folk psychology isn't what you should necessarily expect of yourself.

Thank you! The blunted affect was spot-on an anhedonia is pretty close. I don't exactly feel no pleasure from things, but a lot less than one would expect.
