Why do I feel so numb all the time?

From my personal experience I feel numb when deep down I'm actually really really sad and I have let it get to the worse point which is when I don't know what to do about it and I stop caring about myself. The key is to make sure I don't get sad, and keep having distractions and happy thoughts and events.

Because it's far easier to manage feeling nothing than to feel more than your body and mind can handle. What happens when your computer screen gets overloaded with spam? You quit.

You may be feeling numb because you are feeling a lack of emotion. I used to get this feeling accompanied with emptiness, because I felt that I was not doing anything productive that I enjoyed. Or, this feeling could possibly be a result of not knowing how to deal with a certain emotion. If you do not know how to respond to a certain feeling, sometimes it may seem easier to simply not feel any emotion at all.

Because, I don't feel loved. I feel like nobody cares, and nobody understands me. I feel alone really. There's no way to really answer this question, because the list goes on which is sad and numbing itself.

Physically or emotionally may I ask? Are you numb emotionally? Why do you think this may be? Break-ups? Friends backstab you?

Maybe you've been hurt so many times that things don't affect you as much as other people. you feel numb

Perhaps you have taken on so much that you are maxed out mentally. Numbness may be caused by anxiety. Anxiety numbness is actually very common - both physically and psychologically - and is often made worse by the anxiety that many experience as a result of that numbness.

Typically a person will feel numb because they're so overwhelmed with emotions that they can't organize and identify that their mind just diconnects. To make it easier to deal with until you're ready.

Sometimes in life when we get hurt enough or when we go through rough times a lot. we convince ourself that we don't care, this can sometime result in training your brain not to respond to much situations as we have locked it down. Because your brain is the source of messages, when it can't do that we feel like we re numb and we don't feel anything emotionally because we re not receiving any messages from the brain.

If anyone reads this who is possibly feeling numb inside I am so very sorry. Speaking from personal experience it absolutely sucks and I apologize for that feeling. Numbness can come from any sort of things but mine has come from years of bullying, self hate and depression that has not been helped except by my own means to be honest. But to ansser why you may feel numb is that something is missing or you use that to hide how you truly feel and need someone to talk with or about before that numbness becomes a part of you and will be so much harder to control.
