lack of emotions

You mean you're emotionally numb? yeah same here, best feeling ever.

 

Since when is being emotionally numb the best feeling ever? In my opinion it's one of the top 10 worst feelings ever.

 

Since I said so

 

I was like that for like a year during a difficult time in my life. The pain and stress becomes too much too handle so you just become numb after a while.
I don't know if that's what's happened to you though.

 

then you're not doing it right.

 

It might feel good to not have to deal with pain, but I know at least I had to deal with all the suppressed feelings once I finally came out of it, and it was really overwhelming having to deal with all at once. I agree with the dude that says it's one of the worst feelings, I don't wanna go back to that ever again.

 

Yeah, i've been feeling like that for 4 or so years now. Shits good, you'll never wipe that smile off my face.

 

Yeah I'm not the overly emotional person I was growing up, I prefer it that way.

 

I don't understand how emotional numbness is considered a good thing. No happiness, joy or love... But I hate when I get overly emotional due to hormones.

 

To the people saying "I love the feeling of being emotionally numb" please ask yourself if that makes any sense how can you have love/happiness from a supposed lack of emotion when love and happiness are emotions?

 

I'm not emotionally numb, but I am emotionally jaded. It takes a lot for me to laugh, even when i find something really funny all i do is smile and grin. I cant cry anymore, i get sad but the tears never come, and it takes a lot for me to get angry too.

I dont like it or dislike it, I'm used to it. Sometimes I feel a little out of place because many people freely express their emotions but thats not me.

 

I have been for a couple years now.. iv'e been thinking that maybe that's how iv'e been my whole life.

I'm in the same boat.

 

Its more my emotional dial is stuck on happy. Instead of feeling empty, numb, dull (which are feelings as well) I'm just happy all the time. I never get angry, I never cry, I never love, I'm never worried, I'm never excited, ect. I mean its nice, but at some point you do miss the range of emotions.

 

Hahaha isn't emotional numbness one of the leading symptoms of major depression? And you guys are STRIVING for this?

Ps I get stoned to increase my emotions/emotional range idk what you guys are smoking.

 

Even depression is better than being numb...

 

chronic pain will do crazy shit to your psychy man. so will opiates, so it's a lose lose lol
