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 not wrong to escape everything sometimes, but it can't get to the point that it affects others. Feeling numb and nothing sometimes helps, but sometimes it doesn't help the ones around you. Feeling numb makes you stop feeling and caring, so others can start feeling unnoticed or worthless. Just remind them as much as you can that you do care and that they matter.

I think it is normal to feel nothing or numb if things are going on in your life that are uncommon. It is not wrong in anyway to feel that way. It is better that you know that you are alive and feel something, because you matter.

It's not wrong. You cannot help the way you feel. Emotions are difficult to understand sometimes, and when you are having rough times and feeling numb, rest assured you are not alone. There are people here on 7Cups who have experienced the exact same thing, and you will never be alone as long as you're here. :) It's never wrong to feel a certain way.

Of course it's not 'wrong', everyone feels numb sometimes. Even if you think you're feeling more numb than others or more often, that doesn't make it wrong. It just means your body has a different way to process things. The only thing that matters is if it bothers you or you wish you didn't feel numb.

It's not wrong . Sometimes when we're overwhelmed with feelings and emotions it leads to feeling numb or empty .

It isn't wrong. Sometimes when our emotions get the best of us we tend to go numb as a way to cope with it. This causes you to feel nothing, and it is a normal response to an overwhelming amount of emotions. It comes and goes and it makes sense to not always feel nothing. It is a totally okay response to things and I think almost everyone has felt that way at some point in his/ her/ their life. Just like you can't control the emotions you feel, you also can't control when you do not feel emotions at all.
