Why do I feel so numb all the time?

Numbness usually caused by too much emotions at one time (until you cannot feel anymore / numb). You can try sorting your feelings one by one and learn to recognize what you're feeling at the moment. It's like a shopping bag with a lot of things inside. One way to resolve it is to take out some stuff inside and sort one by one on the table.

For me, it would be because of the pain I've been through. The loneliness, the grief, the abuse, all of that burdens my heart and eventually, you feel numb from life. Like your heart has turned to stone and you're even too tired to feel anymore.

I used to be really scared when I would start to feel emotionally numb. I'd feel like crying, but wouldn't be able to, or I would feel like something should be funny, but I didn't feel any joy or humor. Now I've realized that when I am feeling emotionally detached, there is probably a thought pattern or a feeling that has gotten too strong and my mind if coping by shutting down my other emotions. With this insight, I've been able to take those moments and really try to get to the bottom of why I'm detaching. I find that if I start to feel that way "all the time," something must be going on that I don't understand or don't have the internal resources to deal with. That's when I know it's time to reach out to my support system: family, friends, and therapist.

One reason for feeling emotionally "numb" can be your brain or subconscious's way of protecting you from getting hurt. If you have a history of trauma or being disappointed or hurt by others, this can cause you to avoid emotion altogether, whether it's positive or negative feelings. Feeling emotionally numb can also be a direct symptom of a traumatic experience. Our emotions can shut down entirely if the trauma was severe. Again, this is an uncontrolled response that serves to "protect." However, if you don't allow yourself to experience any emotion, you are losing the good along with the bad. This is something can can definitely get better and be treated with therapy.

You should learn self-motivation, understand what you have to do to achieve a possibility, your possibility.

Emotional and physical numbness is a symptom of several mental and physical disorders. Depression is most commonly known for causing sadness, but more than "making people sad" it causes a bone deep numbness to emotion and tactile sensation that makes it difficult to experience the world accurately. Clinical depression is caused by an imbalance of serotonin and dopamine in the brain. Emotional numbness can also occur in bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and many other mental and personality disorders. If you're struggling with emotional numbness, the best course of action is to seek the counsel of a mental health professional. If you aren't able to do this because of finances, time, resources, or any other reason though, a listener on 7 Cups can offer emotional support. Physical numbness should be discussed with a physician as soon as possible as this can be a sign of serious conditions.

Because you haven't thought about life in an actual sense. We are all here for our own personal agenda. Don't take this in a sense of religion. I am not forcing that on anyone, but you have to believe in you. Smile and understand that you were on of millions of sperm cells and you made it out. You survived childbirth. You survived adolescence, and now you feel burnt out from living. You have to feel something. You aren't truly numb you are just pensive. You need to stop thinking about what is wrong and realize these things. The fact that humans exist was a very slim chance.At one point you could do half of thing things animals do. Then you grew and understood. You are the smartest creature. Able to be the best in all places earth, water, and air. You are one in a million, and you haven't even realized it.

Sometimes all the things life throws at you to handle end up sort of muting some feelings and enhancing others. often if one is in a deep state of sadness, despair, etc. it's almost as if one gets familiar with that feeling and takes it as if they don't feel anymore, when often it's just because one or two feelings are felt so intensely, the others seem in the background. Other times it can be cases of the body's way to try to protect itself from additional pain (trying not to let anyone in or any feelings in, in case it leads to disappointment or getting hurt)

Sometimes it can be due to depression, depression has a way of making people feel numb. I'm an example.
