I have to agree with you, Anon. From what little we've seen of Arima and his interactions with others, he seems very dysfunctional and kind of disconnected from what is "normal". More than likely, it's a direct result of his upbringing and having been treated as a living weapon for most of his life. He seems to struggle to relate to normal people, and doesn't seem to know how to deal with them in comparison to unusual folks. Look at how tense and awkward things are with Hirako in comparison to Juuzou or Akira.

In Jack, he also hints that he doesn't have much experience dealing with his own peers or normal people. So I think while he isn't necessarily unemotional, he's just kind of.....spent so much of his life not having attachments, not doing normal things, and being held at a distance by others (out of awe or jealousy) that he's kind of very closed off.
