I have wondered why I feel numb as well - it's as if I've become a robot, and can't actually feel or react to anything. Over the years, I've learned that there are many factors that contribute to this, but it does pass. I don't consider myself an emotional person, but I do like to think that perhaps sometimes in highly stressful times, that my feelings diminish, or I'm less in touch with them, purely as a self defense/preservation mechanism. The one thing I hold onto is that, it does pass.

Numbness of feelings is either duo to having gone through so many problems in your life that actual daily situations no longer affect you, or it's because you're trying to forget someone or something so much that you had to numb your own feelings to do so.

This is a question you can only answer yourself. Numbness can be caused through a number of ways but what's important is working out and decided for yourself what has caused this. Start from there and work to reverse this feeling; life is for living.

because your body is reacting to the way you feel, and if your depressed a lot, or have anxiety, then your body will numb up and feel, sad basically.

When life is not providing you positive stimulus you can feel this way. You need something to active your desire in life and provide motivation. A goal, an interest, hobby, training, or join a club or charity organisation.

when i feel numb, I personally feel it's because I've felt so many emotions all at once for so long that it's hard to figure out which I'm feeling at certain moments, so its not that you're feeling nothing, you're feeling everything and it's hard to figure out what.

People feel numb when they are disconnected from their feelings. It is a defense mechanism to dealing with emotion. They are unable or unwilling to process these emotions, so they block them out. This is where the "numbness" comes in. But feeling numb is still a feeling. The appropriate word is apathy.
