I independently came up with this idea when I was a teenager like 30 years ago, so everyone can blame me. Found out later in life I'm probably on the spectrum and (possibly relatedly) barely feel emotions compared to most people, which may have influenced me.
You still have emotions even if you may have some difficulty reading them in others or expressing your own.
There's a weird specific psychiatric condition that more or less disables emotions altogether, and the side-effect of that according to reports is a lack of desire to do anything. Emotions drive us, even people under pretenses of acting under pure logic and reason (that desire is still an emotional drive).
