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.

You may have experienced something in your life that has caused you to shut off emotionally. Its probably been going on so long you may have even forgotten the actual event. Someone may have hurt you badly in a relationship and you have withdrawn into yourself because you do not want to be emotionally hurt again.

If you are able too, i suggest you get some blood flowing and your heart racing. You can't think your way out of it, you gotta get the body to help you.

You've lost what's important to you and you've become blasé to the world maybe this was because of an experience you've had you need to recognise what it is and try and find out what makes you truly happy because that is what will make you enjoy life again

Generally I feel numb when I don't feel like I am contributing positively in my life. What I do is I think positive about my day, myself, and if i have any negative self talk in my head i squash that by saying something positive about myself. Know that you are a wonderful person, and a lot of people love you.

if you mean emotionally numb, in which i'm assuming you do, then it's probably because you're depressed or alone or you feel some type of way that makes you hurt. they all kind of merge together honestly.

This really depends on what you mean but if I'm correct in saying, it's usually because you feel emotionally numb. If you feel physically numb, I would suggest seeing your GP as soon as possible! Otherwise, I would think you're emotionally detached from certain things, people or whatever else it may be simply because you either fin no joy in something or you find that someone doesn't understand you like you want them to. Perhaps someone is always criticising you, telling you some horrible things about yourself that may or may not have truth but there's always a reason as to why people act a certain way; it's not because you're not "normal" or because of something you did or said but simply because no one is willing to listen. It's all fair an well saying that we can listen but when the people closest to you don't, that's when it becomes a problem. If I am incorrect about this, I do apologise but the question is extremely vague so I'm just taking a shot in the dark here. I hope this information is useful to you.

Try going out and doing things you enjoy. Besides struggles you may be facing, having a monotone routine can essentially numb you. Do something different or activities you know gets you hyped up and happy.

It could be a hormonal imbalance, if you haven't yet seen a professional about this, I suggest you do. It's also normal for people to feel like this at times in their lives, tell someone you trust and try to get help

When I was younger I had these family issues to where everything was blamed on me, it made me so insecure so upset all the time. I eventually grew to hate myself. I felt as though this is how i am supposed to feel, which most of the time was nothing. I felt so empty so hollow
