One of my characters (my MC, to be exact), sort of... turns off her emotions- or, rather, blocks them out. Most of the time, she's calculating and cold, and determining how to act around various people. Even when she's worried, she never dwells on it, or thinks about it any further than she has to (for her country, of course). She's made herself very sociopathic (even though she's not, really, she's not).
My problem is that when I write her, she seems like a) she has no emotions, b) she's selfish, heartless, and cruel, or if I write her with lots of feelings, soft, pitiable, and overly worried.
Describing her thought structure- how she calculates her every move and expression- gets really boring really fast.
Any help on how to write her better would be much appreciated!
