"I don't seem to feel anything at all. Most Betazoids can sense other people's emotions--I can't even sense my own," Crewman Lon Suder.
What an interesting dilemma. A Betazoid who can't sense anyone's emotions, not even his own. I wonder if that's why he's so violent/murderous?

Yep, all Betazoids have black irises (the colored bit of your eye). From a production viewpoint, this was done with contacts.

Didn't Marina Sirtis wear contacts as Deanna? A betazoid thing?

Edit, no wait, I was thinking of an El-Aurian (like Guinan)

Are there other examples of Betazoids who can't read anybody's emotions?

One of my favourite characters of Voyager's early seasons.
