Sadly yes

Right now....

Kinda yea

yea

Sadly both numb and empty

I can relate. It just hurts not knowing why I can't continue crying..

BRUH IKR IT MAKES ME SOO MAD 😩 I BE LIKE MF WHO SAID U CAN STOP CRYING

Crying is a natural way of self soothing and when this happens to me, it doesn’t make things much easier :/ 💕

it started happening with me 2 years ago, now everytime i see something sad i'm like "time to cry" **struggles to cry and starts questioning if i'm really sad** i think the only things that make me cry is what my parents say about me and sad songs/movies/games (when people die and i wasn't expecting just like danganronpa and your turn to die, i love it because i cried so fucking hard playing it)

That’s how I am right now, I just want it out.

Bruh EXACTLY

I don’t even know who I am anymore

@@callizto1964 🥺I’m sorry, I wish I knew how to help you properly but I’m currently struggling with the same thing. I’ve felt this way for so long that it’s like it’s become part of who I am, ingrained in my personality. I hope that one day you will find yourself, I hope we all do. But for now, just remember that tomorrow could be the best day of your life, give yourself the opportunity to experience it. ❤️Good luck

LadyLemon 20 thank you, and you too! I’m planning on getting help from a therapist or something, and I hope that will and least start to help with my numbness. Don’t give up on getting better, and always love yourself. You deserve it ❤️

@@callizto1964 I feel like never did :')

That's half the battle.

That's how I have felt for many years. Going through the motions, struggljng, and not feeling. I was so sensitive in my earlier years. There has to be a balance between feeling nothing and feeling over sensitive.

Christ that is sad

Honestly I’ve always hated crying but rn it may be a negative emotion but that moment of crying gives me something other than feeling numb

Yes, i feel the exact same way, but sometimes i do get really angry real fast. Though sadness and crying are what bring me out of the numbness for a little while

Although, I admit that my anger is almost always caused by something that made me angry. I get too frustrated, too irritated, too enraged, and I take it out on others because deep down I guess I have a lot of inner turmoil.

Ugh I hate it. I’m always so irritated then I feel numb. After that I randomly burst into tears feeling so broken and hurt. It’s the worst pain. Then the cycle repeats

My numbness is eating at me too. In 2020, schools shut down and I didn’t do that great with online school. I also got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes at the end of that year. In 2021, three of my family members had died. The only reason I got by was because I had school, Church, and my friends to “distract” me. In 2022, two out of three of my best friends moved away to a different state. Also at the end of last year I got diagnosed with ADHD and started college. My dad also got diagnosed with cancer. I realized that with the combination of past childhood trauma and everything that has gone on in the past few years I became numb. With the combination of numbness and ADHD I feel like I’m failing.. I often have days where I have no motivation to do anything. I just finished my second term of college and I almost failed all my classes.

I relate to this 100% with my grandpa dying and the school thing and everything, but right after the traumatic events I actually found great success. I actually am engaged and opened my own business. I still feel numb regardless of the accomplishment, if anything it almost makes it feel worse. Glad I’m not alone but it’s hard cause I just want to feel genuine happiness again. I hope we can figure this out and get in a better head space one day.

Find a hobby you like. Passion for something can help. Try something new. A sense of adventure may help stir up your emotions. Humans are not meant to do repetitive tasks everyday that can cause emotional numbness too. So doing new things makes you feel alive.

Sounds like you're doing great though, buddy. I'm here to talk to you if you need to laugh, or vent.

Alhamdulilah Im glad ur ok ❤️ The numbness, from my view, happens when something traumatic happens and u block ur emotions to protect urself. It may also be that u dont want to accept ur reality after something bad happens, and numb urself. Having someone to speak to( a loved one is better) helps a lot.

Me, but I act the way I used to on the lead up to it because I know that I loved it so much and so that it doesn’t seem like I’ve gone off track and I want to convince myself that I am still the way I should be based on how I actually am but when it comes to it I sit there n just eat and receive stuff, that’s it nothing special no strong joy or excitement but still appreciation for the people and things

Same. Nothing is interesting or fun to me anymore. Even the things that I really have a passion to do are slowly becoming uninteresting everyday. And if I do feel something, it’s either anger or sadness.

The accuracy

My maternal grandma died during pandemic from cancer. It was not an easy period, she was suffering and we knew what was to come but we tried everything that could help her anyways. Unfortunately it was not there when she passed away. I received the news on call from my mother crying. I just hummed and went to sleep. The next day went to funeral feel extremely empty. I didn't shed a single tear and i know for a fact a couple of my relatives judged me because of that. Anyways, i would never admit this irl cause it will be cruel to my mother who was having such a hard time, but the days following her funeral were the happiest days i had that year. Honestly, i don't want to make excuses but we all have different ways of grieving and some of us have not discovered them yet. Some of us can't let grief hit us like a train, we need a passage of time to come in terms with the tragedy and more time to deal with it. Sometimes it involves living our life as it was without feeling anything. But don't worry grief finds it way to come out always

My dad had a heart attack A month or two ago now, and he is fine, but in the process of the whole thing I didn't feel anything, like, at all. I felt numb

​@@emu1028how old are you

Me too!!! I really tried to think about when this lack of feeling began and it seems it started with my Grandfather's death. I was eerily numb when it happened and since then it's like I don't have the same capacity to feel as I once did. I really miss it.@@emu1028

​@@emu1028same, there was a point in my life when I felt so lively and emotionally rich (I'm 16 rn), I felt pleasure in the simplest of things, but also compassion and grief on sadder occasions. It all seemed so perfect, and at some point I remember feeling like it had to go downhill at some point, it was just this tinge of oversatisfaction, and that scared me. And over the next two years, that is exactly what happened. Now I don't really know who I am. don't feel anything like I used to. Emotions are not entirely uncommon for me, but I mostly think I'm putting on a mask and am never 'happy', so much so that I don't really understand what it means to be genuinely satisfied and happy anymore.

I thought it was just me... I can feel happy throughout the day with family members or with my best friend, but while everything is going on I fantasize about an alternate world where exciting things happen and I can have a purpose and we could all just have fun going on adventures in this fantasy land. I use so many escape mechanisms to fulfill this desire, sometimes I get so entangled in these thoughts I always feel excited as though I’m preparing to go to that world, only to be hit with the reality that it doesn’t exist. Thinking about growing up and having to deal with adult things and college soon, just everything, it makes me wanna dive deeper into this world I have in my head. It makes me feel like I’m really crazy, but I just feel so disconnected with this world. When I go outside I’m aware that I’m here, but I’m not. I wonder if you feel this way too

Eternal life in heaven is a free gift from God. No human being deserves it due to his/her good works. We have all sinned and fall short in glory of God(eg.Jesus says if any man looks at woman with lust he has committed adulterly with her in his heart..No man is that pure😅). So how did God give us this free gift🤔? He sent his only begotten son to be betrayed,humiliated ,beaten and die as fine/payment for our sins and rose from the dead on the third day. Since he is a just God and has to punish sin. All you have to do is humbly repent of all your sins(read the 10 commandments) honestly turn away from them. Believe in/trust that Jesus did that for you. Confess with your mouth that he is your lord and saviour..You will be saved from hell🔥. The holyspirit(his omnipresent spirit) will in dwell within you and convert your cold heart of stone into that of flesh that can truly love God and be a slave of righteousness and not of sin. This might be the last time you read the true gospel of salvation..look around 🔥🔥 the end is nigh. Please don't reject God's gift. Your soul is on the line.Jesus loves you❤

@@mattjacobson3616 idk I can switch off my emotions pretty easily but I think it’s cause I have another issue but depression can make you numb, starving yourself, being a sociopath but it’s all terrible

@@mathildelongchamps3559 well I thought going emotional numb would be the answer to my problem. After reading your comment it does sound like I would make things worse for myself. Thanks for the reply I can not believe I did this to myself, I've done something's in my past that have hurt me but this takes both the cake and the icing.

I think it's highly possible other emotions can take over the primary emotion. Like sadness. Or anxiety. That's been my experience - at a hairpin trigger it explodes and I'm crying & my body gets aches from tension in different areas. And I haven't been taking in fictional media bc I know the feelings they used to give me aren't real & I need to know what's real. This is really hard. I was actually talking to a friend about how entertainment media can give us (individuals in society) a fuller sense of something we might otherwise experience in a well-rounded, socially-fulfilling life (ie for neurotypical ppl *or* folks who face mental health challenges). I actually wonder if feeling things from media dulls what we're able to feel in other areas, if we rely on escapism to fulfill us. I'm realizing that it doesn't really matter right now bc everything is wrong & bad & I need gas in the tank. Now it's just overwhelming to even think abt what I want to intake... I've seen it said that some ppl w anxiety watch the same show/movie over & over rather than try something new bc what they know is predictable, reliable for the emotional experience, not a wasted time & energy investment, and for sure not triggering bc we know it start to end. But that's not how real life is either. I think I watch ppl play video games bc there's a level of socialness overlay on the media I'm ingesting, reminding me it's not real even if it's compelling and giving me a sensation of social interaction, experiencing something "together" w the player in the video on my screen. Best of luck to you. Being numb fucking sucks. I hope you find a way to feel more w/o too much of that "more" being awful & bad.

@@TrulyAndCompletely I used to believe in coincidences but not now. Your reply came in when I needed it. Just few days ago, I snapped at someone close to me because of something trivial and, due to an old unhealthy habit, I redirected the anger to myself. Afterwards I ended up watching some movies that made me feel something other than the anger. I guess we do consume entertainment media as an escape but, yeah, it also dulls our true emotions. I think some of us who are going through this numbness, including me, have become too afraid and/or exhausted to share and feel emotional experiences with real people. A part of me wants to get professional help but by the end of the day it all goes back to the one question: "Do I want it to change?" We know we need to change something in our life to stop feeling numb; the problem is some of us end up holding on to this numbness because we're used to it even when it sucks. Thank you for sharing your story; it's always good to know that there are those who are trying to go through it. Best of luck to you, too.

@@matorihidensnow2998 I'm glad it was helpful. You can choose to change and still maintain coping skills for tough emotions. As long as you come back around to your feelings - in this case internalizing anger - you can deal w it w ppl who care abt you; I think they'd rather understand how you felt & why you did what you did than let you feel angry towards yourself. I'm trying to get professional help, too. You're worth investing in; whether or not you seek out a pro brain sleuth, know that being vulnerable opens the door to things getting better. Things you'd never experience if you watch a movie to fix every time you feel bad. You deserve *real* good feelings but it takes consistency in doing hard things. If this is a sign... You're gonna be okay. And I am, too. 💕 (Oh hey, btw - I've really appreciated reddit communities for putting things in perspective this past year, lurking *and* responding. We're kinder to others than we are to ourselves. Maybe that could help crack open some hard nutshells - seeing what other ppl go through, their questions for the internet, and the cumulative brainpower/experience in the advice given on how ppl deal (and what happens when you don't). Various subreddits; only you'd know what'll be helpful to you.)

i think everytime i go to work i will just smiling and pretend to laugh when thing a not even funny for me, pretend to be happy, pretend that im okay, dont know how to say no or refuse. dont know how to get angry. all i do is smile. but at home, i cant even smile for myself. empty. maybe this is why i dont even have 'friend'.

i do this but because i don't want to disappoint or hurt my friends/loved ones. i don't want them to think something's wrong so I'll act and if they do notice I'm a little off, i don't want them to feel like they are subpar or that they don't make a positive difference in my life. So i act.

@@Verdantier already passed a long time ago

My mom decorated for my birthday as a surprise and had the presents and everything ready on my table, she took a lot of photos but you can even see on my face it wasn’t a genuine smile… she didn’t notice though.

opening up presents and trying to crack a smile is so exhausting, i cant show my appreciation for some reason

I know how most of that feels bar the medication and empathy. While I also personally don't feel what they feel and feel nothingness, I feel the ability to empathise is much stronger than usual instead a I'm 99% on point whenever I'm using it. Dunno if it's just a really accurate imagination or just constant lucky guessing

I enjoy crying when watching stuff like pixar films. That's the only time when I feel stuff, feel touched. You may want to find someone as soft hearted as you and cry and laugh together watching stuff you both enjoy. I bet that should make you feel more connected and alive. I myself am a 20 something year old male, I don't identify as a female but I wish I were one because that should make it easier for me to do the same thing, finding a softie buddy to cry with at movies. I'm guessing you're a girl, should be easier for you to find a person who can empathize with you. Mind you it won't be EASY, but should be easier than if you were a boi. Stay alive, buddy. It's obvious you crave a friend you can share emotions with, so go find that person. Be on guard though, you are a vulnerable individual, easy prey, be on guard. But never lose hope.

Why tf do I relate to this so much

That's literally me everyday wtf-

Bro. Why is this me to a tee

Oh my, I can relate to this so much. I ususally make up fictional characters and stories around them and then put me inside of it. This way I have people who I feel like they care for me. But all of this only in my head. Whenever I can I think/daydream these stories to feel. Sometimes I cannot sleep without thinking of them.

This is really me right now. And i am actually scared and I don’t know what to do

This is too accurate on how I feel. I'm scared

@Pop11n H34dz Tbh I feel this way, I've been feeling this way for 7-8 months (since July/August) and I don't really care at all, I can relate to every single signs in this video, add in irritatibility when I talk to anyone and we're good, I'm currently forcing myself to type this so that maybe someone has an idea on how to fix it, and hopefully something that I haven't already tried yet. Even tho my irritability is slowly starting to leave and I can handle normal conversations again. I just feel extremely irritated when someone tries to make me empathize or when I hear someone's problems. I can kinda see where this comes from but it doesn't really affect me anymore to know or not, I just hope someday I'll be back to normal, even tho I don't hope as much as I did at first and it doesn't do anything to me anymore to know that I'm in this state. I started focusing at school again 4 weeks ago because I had completely lost my motivation and stopped concentrating since the beginning of last year. I also (somehow) found something that gives me interest sometimes like, once every 3 or 4 days, which is studying the human brain because there's a huge amount of knowledge. Sometimes I don't know what to do with the rest of my days, I only get scared a few times when I'm on my way back home, especially when I finish school early because I don't know what I'm gonna do at home, nothing interests me, nothing related to dopamine attracts me either. I didn't know I could do that but, I lay in my bed, I don't sleep, I just lay in my bed, doing nothing, for hours until it's long enough for me to go to sleep and wake up early in the morning to do this again.

@Pop11n H34dz i feel like this may be me with my boyfriend, he tells me he feels this way a lot but i’m no fully grasping the concept. i rlly want to be there for him i just really don’t know how

bro same

Dang that hit hard :-:

Same ;_;

I have the same thing

Me too!

OMG SAME

god me too

same i only usally feel things when im around others or listening to an yagami yato audio (SFW)

PLEEAAASEEEE ME AS A WEEB AND A ROMANCE SUCKER SOBBING

😂literally same. But then I finish watching something and the second I turn it off it’s back to feeling numb again. That’s why I usually watch shows with with round 10 seasons and 20 episodes each.

Literally me

That's horrible :(. I hope you are able to get some help independently or with another support system.

@@blebe891 Oh that's good :)

You deserve therapy not because you're weak but because what you struggle with every day is hard, valid and none of us can do it on our own. I hope you get what you need, and the way you're treated by others doesn't reflect who you are. Good luck

Omg. How could she say something like that? I sincerely hope you're okay. You've probably heard this before but you're gonna be okay, no matter what. I pray for you 💖

I'm sorry about that. You shouldn't have to feel that way and be treated that way. Even if she was being genuine and tried to comfort you, you deserved better than that.

Yes.. and that's why I am addicted to kdrama and movies cause the only time I feel normal, or feel anything for that matter, is when I am watching some show

samee i only feel something good when I'm watching anime or thinking about it but in real life I'm just like ew what is this hell

@@11037_kuwata ikr ?

Why is this me too???? I would however like to add "playing a game", jrpg or otherwise, listening to music and watching anime...(also including hentai) And BTS content, be it reactions to them or BTS themselves posting things.....

@Jessica Stein ikr ? the first time someone is like me lol. i can read how people feels just like if they were an open book, but i don't feel anything myself. happy or sad, i'll see it but definitly don't feel it. that's why i'm bad with helping people feeling better sometime, i bank everything on the words since i'm really not tactile (some reasons for it tho). i don't automatically comfort them, but i know how to react to some things.

I got out of it by talking more to the others and engaging more in social interactions in general. Also tried stuff I didn't usually do (drawing for example). Getting out of daily routine. Also, I went in some trips, it's amazing how helpful travelling can be. But the thing that helped me most was the connection with God, the idea that there's a light at the end of the tunnel and that He was near me was very encouraging.

@@a.t.1241 thank you so much for this!!

@@a.t.1241 thank you for this and I agree. I got numb also but in relationships. I will try these tips.

@@a.t.1241 ty :)

@@frigidguyy6316 they make you more numb

Sounds to me like your an empath. I think being an empath and feeling everyone else's feelings is so draining that we just don't have anything left to feel our own feelings. I am an empath and I've realized I feel others feelings way more than I feel my own. I've struggled with depression and anxiety basically my whole life but for the past couple years I've been feeling numb. It's exhausting and infuriating!!

Well.... I'm an empath then.

i feel super numb pretty much all the time but recently as i was reading a story and a the antagonist toyed with the life of an innocent person, making the protagonist beg, before killing them in cold blood and i remember just seeing a line about their body and sobbing. i hadn’t cried in forever but that one scene had me on the kitchen floor scream crying like my child had been killed. it was nice being hysterical while it lasted.

This sound like me, i feel the emotions when im watching a movie or online but when im not i can't empathise or feel anything. Like when my grandmother died i knew i should feel sad or mad or something but i couldnt.
