Why do I feel so numb all the time?

The numbness comes from an overwhelming amount of emotion in a period of time which one's mental ability to control the influx of exaggerated feelings has reached an overflowing capacity. Usually brought on by feelings of hurt, sadness, or anger, the numbness is the body and mind's physical manifestation of a shutdown mechanism which allows one to deal with a stressful situation or environment. Example: Death. We cry our eyes out at the mention of a name, until we just can't cry anymore. It's not that we don't care, it's that the one emotion has been ongoing for so long, it shuts down, and "takes a break". Don't worry, most of us "reboot" with most emotions. Unless your stress is ongoing, and then you welcome the numbness to allow you to get thru each day, one day at a time.

Sometimes, you don't really feel numb, but are so overwhelmed that you can't process what's going on. Try writing or talking thru whatever comes to mind, ignoring the nagging feeling of "being numb." You'll get some feeling back - at least that's what I do when I start going numb.

I am trying to make my self happy by doing what I like don't care what people think about me I try to enjoy my life

I tend to liken the feeling of numbness to the colour white. It's blank and bland and nothingness. But it's not. It's actually every colour together. So, numbness is actually the immense feeling of everythingness. But it's just too much to feel, so you feel nothing.

It could be depression. A large part of it isn't feeling 'down'; you can feel detached too. If you feel this way persistently, have a chat a chat with your GP. They will be able to determine if you are experiencing a mental illness, of just tiredness or boredom, as these can be causes of 'numbness' too.

Sometimes when we are going through something difficult and painful we don't want do feel the pain anymore. We may close suppress our feelings and emotions and ignore them. Sometimes we forget that we feel a certain way for a reason. Learning to recognize my emotions, understand why I'm feeling a certain way, and remembering it's okay to feel that way has personally helped me. Then I try to think of a way to try to overcome what I'm feeling and one of those ways for me was to come on here and talk to someone before when I had nobody else to go to. Sometimes whatever you think of may take time but that's alright. But that is my personal experience with numbness. It did take awhile to learn how to do those things though and help from a professional psychologist to get better at it.

Well, I feel numb when I am not very confident and also if you lack selfconfidence, that may be the main problem. Relax. Don't think what people will think of you.

You feel numb because you take too much stress. As you may have gone through some kind of trauma or pain or shock in your life.

Whenever i feel numb its because there's something I'm trying to avoid feeling. Often it leads to depression due to the fact that no pain also means no pleasure. we have to accept the negative aspects of life in order to grow out of them.
