As weather r Vane rightly pointed out tautology does not fit in your context.

In the context you talked about the discussions are becoming repetitive. I think they are beating about the bush

The correct sentence is given below:

Your acting is devoid of emotion

Similarly some nonnative speakers say:

We discussed about politics

Here about is unnecessary.
