Is it alright to feel nothing? Is it wrong to feel numb? I don't always feel nothing, but when I do, is it wrong?

It's completely okay to feel so. Sometimes in life, to sort things out, you just got to stop and do nothing. :)

The lack of emotions is one of many symptoms of depression. If you feel that this is affecting your daily life in a negative way, I would say that you should consider getting help.

What you feel is never wrong. So no it is not wrong to feel nothing or numb. Everybody feels that way sometimes.

It's alright. It's not wrong. Sometimes the world can be so busy and stressful that you just end up drained from everyday life. Take some time away from it all and remind yourself what makes you happy. Do things that you enjoy. And if that doesn't help, maybe talking to a professional therapist will.

Of course it's alright! Please know that nothing we ever feel is a 'wrong' feeling to have. They are all a-okay. The 'wrong' thing to do is to act out on some of those feelings - like if you were feeling angry that wouldn't be a wrong feeling, but it would be wrong to hit someone. Does that make sense?

It is in no way shape or form wrong. You just need to find something that sparks your interest, and I promise you will feel something again.

It's not wrong to feel nothing. Everyone of us feels like they're nothing in this world at some point, numb and emotionless. However, you shouldn't let that feeling last. Try to engage yourself into hobbies you like doing. Listen to songs that focus on self importance and give you life. Lighten up your life before all the light in the world is taken away.

It is ok. It is your mind protecting you from a flood of emotions that would otherwise be too much for you. Remember, it is normal when you feel overwhelmed.

The numbness that I have felt makes me feel less human, but it is also a great help in times of severe distress. Although, if you are repressing your emotions to feel numb that will cause much more harm than good in the future. There are some things that just wont bother you like you think they should. We are all wired differently and handle situations in our own way. Some are overly sensitive and some don't react at all.
