Have you ever been feeling numb but you don't know why? You may have heard someone who suffers from depression or another mental illness say they feel emotionally numb, but what does this mean exactly? Suffering from emotional numbness doesn’t mean you have to feel nothing all the time. Your emotions can even merge together from an unconscious, or conscious, suppression to create a primary feeling that can accompany your numbness. So, how do you know if you feel numb? Here are a few telltale signs you need to look out for.

    one of the worst parts of feeling this way is when you start to cry and really let your emotions out and after like 2 sobs you just stop and don't know why you can't cry anymore
  • That whole "you only feel something when reading or watching shows/movies" really hit home. It's why I'm so attached to fictional universes. They make me feel something that's not nothing.

    I’m not living, I am surviving. Edit: I am now alive once again.

    This is actually the first time I’ve actually felt completely understood, this entire video explained how I am and I thank you for opening my eyes.

    7. You want to get better, but you’re afraid you won’t recognise yourself.

    Seven signs you're feeling numb: 1. You're tired of being what they want you to be. 2. Feeling so faithfulness 3. Lost under the surface 4. You don't know what they're expecting of you 5. You're put under the pressure of walking in their shoes 6. Caught in the undertow (just caught in the undertow) 7. Every step you take is another mistake to them

    It's honestly just so heartbreaking to see how many views this has. It's not the content, I absolutely love Psych2Go's content and want everyone to support the channel but just the fact that so many people feel the might be numb, including me. I'm praying for everyone

    When I feel numb, things get really boring. and it's really annoying.
  • @spingiss9152
    I've been acting out emotions for so long, I just wanna feel them genuinely again. The whole thing about only really feeling when intrigued in a piece of fiction was extremely accurate too. I still have motivations and feelings, they're just so stunted and barely noticeable sometimes.
  • I've been feeling something like this for a while, and I realize its starting to become a problem. I'll leap at a chance to escape reality, like watching a movie or video. Sometimes I'll just daydream for a while, making up characters with emotions in my head and playing them out, and then realize I didn't do any work but have trouble caring. Recently, my mom put a restriction on youtube, and its been really hard. I've started to self harm just to feel something...

    Number 7 when you find something funny you laugh like a Maniac for a couple of seconds and go numb again
  • @Elena-yz7rb
    1) you're living on autopilot 2) you don't enjoy the happy events, even the big ones 3) when you DO feel something, it's anger 4) when you DO feel, it's through watching a movie or TV show, or reading a book 5) you're dealing with emotional blunting 6) you can't empathize with others Still watch the video to find out more about these points! Stay save y'all 💗 you can do it, some day you'll have what you want. You've got this
  • @copper1-iz3wm
    it just feels like your surviving through a terrible war, but unable to become traumatized. Looking at all the people you experienced it with not liking loud noises, crying from the trauma, while you just act like a normal person. It just feels like your a Sim whos personality slots havent been filled in

  • @rubyrose7726
    Am I the only one who doesn't just get angry sometimes but also cries every once in a great while and then goes numb again? And when I cry, I feel a lot of pain.

    I feel colorblind while everyone else is riding the rainbow.
  • @iluvrafayel
