Well, I am not sure about anger and sadness, but I know there are people who unable to feel empathically. I would guess yes. I would say the manic side of bi-polar disorder might come pretty close to that...
And just to clarify, I am not suggesting that there are people who feel just one emotion their entire lives. Just that there are people who not fully in control of how their brain processes the chemicals that engender emotional responses. I think this is fairly established information that I can find if need be.
