This is maybe an interesting answer, but fairly rudimentary.  It doesn't really define what an emotion is, without which you can't really answer this question.  If we reopen the question, the answer would be a conditional "yes".

<p>I have heard that there are some people who don't feel emotions. Is that really true? Is it really possible for someone to feel no emotions?</p>

Any evidence to support your claim or is it just hearsay?

I think this question is different than the proposed duplicate.   Whether it's possible for a human to feel no emotions is an interesting theoretical question, independent of any empirical motivation for it.

It is a physical possibility but you need, at the bare minimum, to feel for your self to survive; like the need to eat. If you don't want to call hunger and similar things for feelings it would be a problem anyway because discus is what make you avoiding eating bad or toxic food and fear to avid getting eaten etc.
