If you have anyone in your life who you can talk to (a friend, family member, anyone) please talk to them I was bottling all my emotions and then I spoke to the one freind in my life I can actually talk to and let it all out and it was such a huge burden lifted off me so please find someone to talk to and let it all out .I believe in you and I'm sure anyone else who reads your comment believes in you too. Stay strong
Listen piano music, close your eyes and let it flow. It bring up emotions and it is easier to cry and let them out, listening hour or 2 should be enough but really depends on person. I personally find it is very helpful and i have been doing it for one it year+. I hope it helps:), take care!😇 (sorry for bad english).
The worst part is that I look at who I've become and I don't even recognise myself. I feel guilty for not being who I used to be for people that love me.
That’s how I’ve been feeling when my gf and I got together it’s like everything was so good and I felt so good now it’s like I don’t even enjoy being with her and don’t really enjoy doing anything it’s like there’s nothing look forward to
After a trauma , I became completely numb , like I couldn’t feel anything at all. No matter if I received a good or bad news , I didn’t care and felt completely emotionless. Guys if you’re feeling like this , don’t ignore it , it’s depression , and everybody experiences it differently ... my advice would be to force yourself to move , exercise and talk to people , even if these are the last things you feel like doing , it’s hard at first but trust me it helps ❤️ don’t stay lonely suffering
Well ive stayed lonely my entire life and no has done anything to change it because if i ask out any girl they instantly reject me thinking im annoying but im not and before i was a happy kind genuine person but i dont feel that way anymore and this has gone on for 3 years
When you feel so much that you start to feel nothing, the next step is bleakness. The challenge is we cannot selectively numb emotions because when we numb the painful emotions, we also numb the positive emotions. So this is a Tough one 🖖
i’ve suddenly become very emotionally numb. like, today. i have no clue why, and i just want to cry, but i can’t. i always hated emotions, but now i want them back so badly. i feel terrible, but i can’t approach my parents.
I felt that way too but I finally told my mom and she got me a therapist and I started getting treatment. It won't work overnight tho it will take time but its best you get treated soon and its worth it. Have you done that yet tho?

Feeling numb is a huge problem! Because it also can disturb our memories. This is due to the fact that memories are better stored and better retrieved if they were connected to an emotion ( good or bad) . So , feeling numb general affects your memory. If you feel it has lasted too long, please go and seek help
I can't get help. My family doesn't know I am this vulnerable and we wouldn't be able to afford therapy and medicine anyways. Nothing else helps. Soon I might resort to cutting if I can do it without anyone knowing. I need help... I'm only 10 and live is going terrible.
I feel like I might be emotionally numb. At first I didn't notice my change but all my family always keep saying that I'm not as energetic and happy as I was before.And some times I feel sad because sometimes my mom will tell me to smile,but I just can't, I just don't think that anything's funny anymore.But some times I just get mad because I'm just trying to be myself,my mom's always telling me to be myself but once I do she gets upset because I'm not as "happy" as before.Anyways they also tell me that I never want to come out of my room or go anywhere to socialize.But honestly I just think that it's hard to communicate now because I feel like every time I talk I'll be judged for wat I say,or I just think that there are just too much people sometimes. Anyway to the person who actually read this,thank you and I'm sorry for rambling on and on.
It's fine. It's better to put out your frustration here than to keep it to yourself. I feel the same way it's a long story so I'll just say that some stranger is here to support you! We can overcome this 🙂
My mom showed me a picture of myself 5 years ago and said “you looked so happy” gave it to me to give me inspiration to be happy again. It hurt. Bc she was right. I was happy 5 years ago.and I’m not quite sure how to get back to that place
Everyone has always a difficult stage in long life. It is important thing that how can you escape it? you can not live negatively in your whole life. Escape it and stand up.
1:10 I’m starting to feel like this,this has been happening to me a lot🫠 on my birthday I just didn’t feel that happy I just put on a fake smile and a fake laugh I just feel like I’m just existing and I can’t feel excited over anything
I feel numb. I used to be really emotional and sensitive and now I just feel numb. I don't cry, I don't yell, I don't laugh. I still do feel, but not as much as I used to. Its not like I'm a shell of myself, I'm more like a shadow. The faintest imprint of who I was remains, haunting my old self. I didn't like crying, I didn't like feeling sad like that, but now that I can't feel that much, I miss that a lot. I still feel, but just not enough and somehow that's worse. Just that little bit of what used to be, haunting me. I feel like its my very identity being stripped away. I used to be an emotional sponge, absorbing however the other person would feel, but now I am indifferent to the emotions of others and myself. There is no empathy. I don't cry, I don't yell, I don't laugh. That is just how it goes. It rips me apart, I can feel myself shattering, but it doesn't change anything. Because the emotion is no longer there to make it hurt. I just want to feel something. I just want to feel. I have emotions but I don't know how to let them out. I bottle them subconsciously. I don't cry, I don't yell, I don't laugh.
I do feel like this is sense before days cause my friends left me and never care about me I have some friends who care of me and my mum felt like this and before a day that happend when I fight with my father I cried hours and after that my friends did that and I feel numbness nothing as always I am empath and affectionate to everyone now I don't feel shit I am mad with myself
This describes a lot of how I feel. I can still laugh sometimes but I never cry anymore. I want to wake up and I'm desperate but I don't know how. If you are feeling better please tell me how. It's been 2 years I won't let myself live like this anymore I need to wake up
Everyone talks about when it hurts Everyone talks about when you cry Everyone talks about when you lose motivation for simple tasks. Not enough people talk about when you just go to your room, lie down in your bed, and do nothing. Because you don't care about anything anymore. And you spend each day just waiting for the day to end.
My energy has been sucked out, I spend my days doing nothing. I was never allowed to process my emotions, so I started becoming numb to them to get away from the pain. I can’t feel happiness as much too, though.
or you could also just be fed up with how the world works so you just stop caring about everything and focusing on yourself, some call is psychopathic but honestly i'm living a much less stressful life since i stopped caring about what anyone else says or thinks to the point where i dont even care if something bad happens to other people, sure it sucks bad things happens but life goes on, pick yourself up or just let your emotions burden you. i know what i prefer.
I think what led me to feel numb is definitely feeling burned out by school and work. I’ve been doing that consistently thinking that it’s cool to hustle and grind (to work hard because it’s the right thing to do, pretty much how social media tells you to focus on your work) Like yeah it’s nice to hustle and grind, get that bag or whatever but seriously learn when to stop working so hard to take care of your mental health.
Hey Everyone, It's okay to feel numb sometimes, we all have a moment of shutting down and not sure what to do or how to get back up. One of the most important thing is mindset and giving yourself a kick in the butt to wake yourself up. Don't ever get stuck in the comfort zone and this is why th-cam.com/video/_hNMVuBxNLA/w-d-xo.html
It’s taken me forever to find my “illness”. I always feel like I can’t complain or talk to any of my friends because none of them are emotionally numb or whatever, most are clinically depressed. But any ways it’s nice to know there are others like me. I am going to share my story with you, yes you. Stranger. The most horrible thing I go through is not being able to intentionally think. My brain is like always half in this straight forward mindset, answering questions responding to people, you know, normal things! While the other half is completely empty. The worst thing is I have to listen to all this mind breaking silence until I go to sleep. I really wanna get fixed. The “noise” is starting to be too much.
Have I forgotten my goals and passions? No , I never had them to begin with My entire personality is a mask, I feel I have no identity, I'm noone, I have no likes, no interests, no goals, no hobbies. Nothing drives me, nothing calls me from within, I'm just an empty carcass of a human being God I wish I was dead, what's the point of a creature like me coming into the world only to suffer life
To learn how bad it is. To help the other people in your life to never know what that feels like. I myself am in the same place you are right now, but I've learned that making sure you are there for the people in your life and helping them get through the same void you are in makes escaping that void far easier. Hold on buddy; we'll all get through this together.
Those are my exact thought three years ago. Now I still agree with most of it except the last sentence. Through out these three years good people had showed me life is not all pain and suffering. Happiness and pleasant surprise do exist. That balance and contrast, overall life is not bad.
I am going through exact same thing. Just nothing. Nothing interests me anymore. If any of you did got better, do tell me the process. I have tried every way. First 2-3 days it works, then back to square one.
Hey I personally spill on random videos to help. I have parents that denied my dreams and made fun of them, and I tried talking to my mom and she yelled at me and asked if I needed medicine. Me and my sister hid how we felt and we learned how to move quietly because of my dad. I personally laugh through the pain or cry in a dark closet, but besides this I can't tell you why we suffer or a reason to go on. Everyone will find a drive eventually and it will be like a snow ball.
i feel like a robot. i still have morals and reactions to things but i can act any way i like, as well as shut off my emotions in a way. it’s strange. i’m on antidepressants and antipsychotics though, so i suppose it’s all part of getting used to it.
i´ve lost myself completely in an ocean full of surrow, guilt, numbness, depression and selfhatred....i know im not the only one struggling with this, and this exhaustion that wont even allow u to gather the energy to show happiness for a close ones success...everything has just become so tiring and...like an endless circle of blank. But never the less, i hope for everyone here who is battling some tough times, to feel better. You have my best wishes and take care of yourselves
I was homesick & became depress. I became numb, cant understand myself anymore. I came closer to my family and to God. God helped me a lot. Now I'm doing ok compared to the past. :)
I used to be in yalls shoes until my mom kept nagging me to pray for years and I didn’t but that one time i was like i tried everything so why not try god. It felt amazing i was able to cry after years of being so empty. I felt alive again. I felt like my mind became organized. Guys even if you don’t care about god or think it’s a placebo you can’t deny that it feels amazing to know that someone out there is looking after you. Someone you can complain to and rely on.
I know what my dreams are, but because I feel so lonely, misunderstood, stressed and not motivated to do anything, I don't know what to do now. I mainly just lay in my bed praying that I just die quickly and peacefully so that the pain doesn't have to continue.
I don't know why i am writing this but I just wanne share my feelings for once. About a year ago I was really happy good grades in school happy life in general but then I don't know it just went down all my friends started getting further away and I learned that the friend I thought of as my best friend really didn't care that much for me. Now I don't feel anything my laugh is fake my smile is fake and when I am alone and I just want to be sad and cry I can't not one drop will fall. I don't feel any emotion while doing something I loved doing before the good feeling after eating a good meal dosent exist for me anymore the rush after doing something dangerous doesn't come and I don't feel any love anymore.
Thank you so much for this information, I've been feeling emotionally numb for a while now. It's hard to find things that make me happy, and things that make me sad. It all feels like an illusion and its confusing and weird.
Psych2go is honestly the best TH-cam channel ever. I always say "the best is yet to come". But this chanell is just awesome! Thank you so much. Your voice is so soothing, dear. Keep shining.
In the past few years, I've went through multiple traumatic events involving my entire family. Not to mention, I'm a young teen. I now understand why I've felt numb for the past 3 years, which interesting enough, is when this video came out. I just want to feel happiness again... I only got diagnosed mentally a few months ago, but nothing really benefitted from it besides that. I've needed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but it's not widely available in my area. I still hope, that someday, I will finally overcome all if this.
Hey, on the CBT note, if youre open to it, it may be helpful to try online therapy. I will say it is not the same as going to see someone in person but if CBT is what you need and you cant get it in person, a google search (or maybe the website the youtube channel talks about) should be able to connect you to someone who can provide CBT nonmatter where you are.
I remember going through a phase like this when I started middle school. It was after 5 years of being a bully. More than a decade and a half later, the pain of regretting what i’ve done is still there.
I think an important step is to forgive yourself. You can't change the past, but you can change the future; and maybe find people that you've bullied on social media and apologize for it
I have been feeling numb and emotionless these past few months and wondering why I haven't felt thrill or enjoying my life anymore. I wonder if I have unknown depression, yet all the hundreds tests or symptoms that I checked just not clicked with me. I'm too mentally stable, yet I felt numb. People around me have been describing me as happy and positive person all my life. Yet, inside I'm numb. Thanks to this vid, no 1 perfectly explained why I have been feeling numb.
I think is more difficult when we grow up or everyone is married or have a partner and the feeling of loneliness is worst. Being older maybe, is difficult to have emotional connection at a deeper level, 😢
I feel mostly numb & when I’m not I feel sadness and the urge to cry but I can’t. I’m not 100% why. Maybe it’s because my hearts been broken, then I went ahead and broke it again (this time myself) 2-3 more times by doing things I’m not proud of. By not being who i know & want to be. I hate the feeling like I’m waiting for someone, something to pull me out of this. But I also feel like, I’m the only person holding myself back. I know where I want to go in life, but I’m not too sure how to get there. There’s been moments in my life where I feel overwhelmed with love & joy for a period of time and I want that back. I want to break free of whatever it is that has a grip on me. I’ve been trying for soo long ( a year now) and I still feel like this. I have moments of confidence and good times, I’m always positive and say it’ll work out, at least I deal with anxiety & depression better but feeling numb isn’t what I want either. I feel disconnected. But I know I’ll never stop fighting. Idk why I wrote this, I just wanted to get it out.
Thanks a lot for making me understand this feeling of feeling emotion less a little better. It’s something I thought only would last for a month, but I’ve lived like this for a year. I really miss feeling angry, sad, loved, lonely, and happy. For a year now I’ve felt like a walking statue hiding my emotions, but me myself cannot even decipher what I feel. The second cause, about mental illness is probably the reason, sadly I thought I had overcome my depression but apparently not. Before, I could cry my eyes out all day but now I cannot shed a tear when a relative dies (which also too me sounds cruel). A while ago I truly loved someone, but now I don’t feel anything special towards anyone, not just love but gratefulness and happiness when seeing someone. And I don’t think I’ll ever love someone romantically based of how I feel now. Same with happiness, what is it. How do I feel that again, doing something that I “love” isn’t helping. How do one deal with this when you know the reason?
@@ravin2363 it did, even though I wouldn’t say I’m happy and pleased with my life situation. I feel a lot better now compared to that time, not because so much have changed in life but I started to understand why I happened to be in that state of mind at first place and have come to accept it. Now I’m in a healing process where it can only get better! It will not be like this forever even though it seems hopeless, I assure you
The last three years have had nothing but deaths for me and I fear it's not over. I'm 18 (turning 19 in 2 days though) and since 2019 I've lost my dad, my grandpa on his side, several cousins but Krystal died in the most brutal way (decapitated in a motorcycle accident, guy who hit her took a picture and put it on facebook), my great grandma today (at least she didn't die early), three separate family friends we've been close with since I was little, several pets and my mom is drinking herself to death despite being diabetic. I don't know how soon she'll go, I'm hoping she'll be around for a long time but she has legit been constantly saying she might die soon and she's constantly in pain and I can clearly see how much her health has been deteriorating. Her mental stability is going out the window too that's for sure. My dog I've been best friends with for 8 years is also going to pass any day now. She's 12 and her two breeds only typically make it to 10. This is just the people who've died in the last 3 years and the two I'm most concerned are going to pass away next. This doesn't include any of the other traumatic events I've been through, especially recently, the things I've seen, the things I know now as well, I have been overwhelmed more than I could ever hope to be capable of accurately describing. And with COVID on top of all of this I think I went legitamitely bonkers. Hopefully I'm just grieving but I don't think I'll ever be the same person I was. And yes. I am incredibly numb. Whenever I do feel, and that is rare, the feeling is totally drowned out by anger, regret, guilt, pain, grief, cynicism, pessimism, it gets so bad my stomach tightens up, my chest physically hurts from the pain, my head hurts, I have an incredibly hard time sleeping, lately I wake up after intense and depressing dreams covered in sweat with no motivation to get up. It has affected me in so many other ways but I think I got enough out of my system for now. I can't afford therapy anymore or insurance so that was like my biweekly session right there.
This is my life: Everyone, family, friends and anyone comes to rant or talk to me when they need me but when it’s my time to try to talk or even send a text to my friends, everyone is busy, interrupts or just don’t care to listen to what I have to say...even if they “listen”, they are not actually listening or interested so why even bother? 🤷♀️
I'd be a very good stritipical Jedi Knight of The Galactic Republic. I've embraced the Jedi Philosophy to survive. It's also made me an even better escape goat.
I haven't felt anything 'true' in about a year... I have reached the point where numbness is all i know... i can't function properly anymore. Im a senior in junior college, so i dont even have time to process. Im done with everything ,constant exams applying to colleges everything! The things i used to find fun before don't relate to me anymore. My parents dont understand it and just push it away saying im being too dramatic and that i am doing all this as an escapism tactic.. I probably am, but it doesn't mean that it is all it i.
When i was so young , I believed your words.. But when I mature, I understand that no one can help you except you. You have to help yourself and find out the way to escape darkness
I just got scammed out of $400. I sold my phone to a scammer. That money is the only thing that can help me because I lost my job recently. I don't know if it has not sunk in yet but I want to cry it out and let my emotions out. I just can't. I don't even care what will happen to me. All my debts that I need to pay. Right now I am just feeling numb.
I'm tired of everyone judging me for my Emotional behaviour (because I'm a male everyone judges me thinking that I am being Feminine), that's why I stopped showing my emotions and now I am so used to it that I don't even know when I was genuinely happy 🙁
i'm not sad numb, i'm just numb. i act happy all the time but i'm not really excited for anything. i'm definitely not about to cry all the time. i'm not lonely, and i'm not popular. im kinda just fine, but i'm not sure if i'm ok with that
I think the reason I feel emotionally numb, is from Trauma and possible Verbal Abuse. And the fact I have yet to forgive someone for the trauma that they caused me. I want to forgive said person but I've had nightmares about said person that let me think to NOT forgive and forget. Since I discovered Psych2go I have begun to understand the reasons I feel certain things, the toxic relationships I have had, and other things. I have had a much healthier mental state, keep these things up Pshyc2Go because you can help so many people. Just like this channel has helped me. I remain feeling emotionally numb but I know I can get through this. I can get help. I can open up, and I can get away from the man I know an hate who caused all of this.
I've gotten quite good at feeling numb emotionally while examining others and attempting to display the emotions that I think are appropriate for the situation. I also want to cry, but unless I'm like watching a TV show or empathize with the characters in a game, I cant seem to have anything come out. I desperately want to feel loved when I open up to others about things and they hug me or say kind things, but I either feel scared/anxious, or I feel next to nothing but a low grade of the frustration over not being able to just feel what I want to feel inside.
I never told anyone about this.... Since a kid I always had this spark this..feeling. It used to overwhelm me and motivated me to stand out and produce good fruit in character , love admiration and etc. It helped with everything even in the dark days I felt this feeling. Just life and watching and seeing people uplifted me in a way that was so good and full of emotion and passion I didn't want to call it that.... It was more than that , it felt so much more!!!!! . Could anyone relate with me? Anyways I had this feeling and it sparked when I watched movies , shows(like avatar lol) and especially music! I have always had this great connection with music... Indescribable and my emotions or this feeling would take me to a universe I that was soo comfortable. Literally ong from child hood songs and programs to all genres of music even piano, jazz etc. I soon discovered I had a gift some years after and man. I was so hyped!!! I've always loved music especially love music . since a kid always loving love music the most with those CLASSICAL 2008 r&b vibes and would always wanna dance and express it to a girl lol, or in the dark contemplating . and then rap man... It evolved me. I had the gift of being influence to make a great song or creation based of what influenced me. And people loved it . I never thought I'd ever want to be an artist, but I knew this is what I had to do. It was a gift and I loved it so much. But my emotions or, this feeling sparked it in after you were so it started to fade away...... I was getting scared because I didn't want to lose this this was something that I lived off of that was always comforting me when things were hard ,my emotions. And as I was losing this I started to lose my passion for music and how I felt and so I couldn't perform as well as I used to and now I got to the point where the year past and it feels like it's almost is completely gone. I barely feel it to the point I feel it doesn't exist. I undergo to lot of depression and trial and tribulation in my own household and its just ling story but I say this to state how going through this did not help Reviving it, my emotions at all . I never thought I'd have to go through this now im numb and I also dont feel or take in life like how I used too..... I stopped making music and really engaging in the things I love doing because I dont feel it the way I used to the spark is just barely there as small as a grain. I sometimes reminisce on my younger life and memories and just take in the vibes and feeling I had then. It used too take back in full experince. But now I dont even feel it the way i used to. I used to do this alot to remember how emotion and passion feel like but it never felt the same. I could no longer enter a new season , I felt, with a new nostalgia to be created as I would move on from that previous one. I made playlist or re watched movies to revive it but it just wasn't the same. And the more you keep doing something the more dry becomes in the more dull. This got me sad that i cant feel. I then even remmincse on how I felt on my begging journey of making music and it was so vibeful. But i can barley connect to it as well and you get sick of it at some point I hate it!!!! Nowadays going through gaslighting narcissistic abuse and other psychological abuse it's not helping at all. UHH i feel like i lost my identity sometimes . emotion is a beautiful and powerful thing. I would always wanna keep it inside to never be verbally discussed I never thought I ever ever ever but it's so foriegn at this point that I am now! All this happening in one or two years!Does anyone else relate with me and have similar story to share or advice?
We’re the same, some people are born this way. It’s amazing and you don’t realise how great you are until these feelings go even the slightest. All of my family are narcissist and they hate me even when I help them, they hate that spark. I’m glad you spoke of narcissistic abuse because these people squash your light and emotions making you think that you should hate it. I pray to God every time to keep this feeling in me, I’m sure God can restore you because God made you and gave you that light so I pray you get it back, you have to let go of bitterness and toxic people that drain you. Knowing what Jesus did for me and who he is keeps me hopeful
Sometimes I don’t know how to feel. I one time got completely ignored by my group in a group project. My spirit has been broken to the point I don’t even want to suggest ideas because I get shut down immediately, but then they ask me “do you have any ideas” and I don’t answer I feel selfish because they want ideas from me but because i get so emotional for some reason I feel as if I have the right to not come with ideas to the table. Anyway that happened and I felt numb
Through out my childhood I was completely emotionally numb and had alot of emotion sealed in me which I couldn't access I also feeled a lot of loneliness and entertainment less which I still feel occasionally but then I discovered Anime 🎉
Hey psycho2go ive been having a problem lately about my emotional health. Im 13 years old and recently i just feel like I'm not processing real life anymore. I think that its because of the pandemic and that my life was put on pause. Can you please do a video talking about this but more importantly about how to appreciate little moments in life. Im not sad or mad i just feel like I dont really see a future anymore. Thanks :)
13 is a very tough age, I remember. it well. You are beautiful, stay strong. If you continue to feel awful, please get some medical advice. The other thing is, you might want to have your thyroid checked. Mine was off, making me super depressed. Taking Synthroid really helped me.
Maybe I lost myself my passion sometimes I feel like everything in extra and meaningless like there,s no reason for that day and life is extra and feel like feeling lost I hope God never give this condition to anyone I pray that you all get well soon or soonest thank you.👍
I've felt emotionally numb since my grandpa's death in 2017. It didn't start immediately, but in 2019 that's when it was a little bit noticable. Me and him were best friends. We always fixed stuff, built stuff, or just hung out and had coffee, breakfast or lunch with each other. I was only 10 when he died, so I was pretty suicidal, and I didn't know what suicide was. I didn't know it was a word at that time. Literally if someone dies or a disaster happens, or whatever, I don't even feel sad I just go "meh". When i get something I've been wanting, I don't get excited. This bothers me because I want to show that I care and I'm thankful. This has been going on a lot since 2020 and mostly I'm thinking "why can't I feel any emotions?". I've also been wishing to go back to the past, when I could feel emotions and I was happy most of the time. Am I just failing as a human being or will this end sometime soon? :/ I'm really sick of myself being unable to feel things.
Hmmm.. I do feel emotionally numb but none of these points seem to be relating with me. I know exactly who I am and what I want. I do think a lot but I also meditate which brings me peace so mental issue, I don' know. No trauma of any sort. No abuse of any sort. No loss of any sort. Thank god for that. Stressed, a little, but a healthy amount. Thank video games for that. No meds of any sort. Yet. I feel like my innards are made of wax when I should feel gratitude or empathy. Its not all the time so. Just comes and goes. Anyone else in the same boat?
I’m sure it’s number 6 pretty much especially during these times. I don’t think I’m absolutely numb, but sometimes it feels like the feelings are put through a filter, with not much positive emotions coming out. Most of the time when I’m optimistic and if I just start feeling generally good unexpectedly, it can get me through it. I believe (hopefully) once summer comes I won’t be worrying about this anymore. This has been affecting the way I think too, it’s harder to remember things and concentrate. I think lack of sleep might also have to do with it for me. It also really sucks not being excited for things really and not really enjoying music. But today has been better for me and since the stress will die down significantly by the end of next week I’m confident it’ll be over soon (hopefully).
I haven't lost sight of myself. I don't have any mental illness. I haven't had anything traumatic happen. I haven't been through abuse. I haven't lost anyone recently. I'm not stressed out. I don't take medication. All of these I don't have. I just don't feel emotions very strongly. I don't know why but I just don't.
When I went into high school I started getting really stressed about homework, sports, my crush, friends, etc and eventually everything just shut off. I experienced apathy and didn’t care about anything anymore.
I swear to god this happened to me today it was kinda scary but at the same time not i literally had no fear but also feel like I didnt want to say anything it maybe a panic attack I had but i literally couldnt laugh or like show genuine emotion thank god it was for a short time you cant really describe it until you experience it for yourself it literally feels like someone took your emotions you dont feel about anything at all
0:31 yep that’s true for me 1:51 yep that one to my for grandma and my dad to 2:25 yep that one too true for me, I did lost a relationship with my best friend on Twitte 2:50 yep that one too true for me, I did stress a lot off my parents in my school 3:19 yep I do go with medication, for stopping for seizures for me, because it end up in the hospital That really helped me a lot
It's been a month being not who i am , i feel like all my emotions are numb , i feel like to cry , tell others how i am feeling but when i see around myself there's actually no one i can really trust and share my feeling cauz they're just gonna make fun of it . The happy , confident, enthusiastic me is lost
you just get like this once you reach your late 20s and all your friends are dead from suicide and all you have left is a few shadows of former selves but you can't kill yourself because you have a duty in life to someone else so you just carry on blindly overshadowed by a mountain of saddens so heavy and cold you just end up staring through everyone and everything.
i just feel emotinally numb if something bad has happened TOO many times,everytime,so it doesn’t even phase me anymore,bec ik it will never be different.
I've been trying to fix these problems since (I forgot), and I've lost more than 60% of my memories. What really made me numb was that remaining or saved-up memories are all bad. I never forget them because everything reminds me of them. I can't help but think that I haven't cried for 3-4 years, and cant express or feel any emotions. I'm almost 14 and I'm pretty shocked to see how I am already and cant do anything to fix this. I'm starting to ask myself if I even have any, I'm starting to fake smile, laugh, and be happy. If I find something funny, I laugh but my face starts to hurt. Now when I laugh because something is funny, I have to scratch my skin and pinch myself to stop. I think I need help, but I'm starting to get used to it.

It might take time,, but life gets better, and you will too ❤️ For everyone out there facing any hard times, I’m cheering you on! :)
I’ve been through a lot of trauma the past few years. Overwhelmed 100% of the time. My granny who raised me & I truly love so much is in hospice care, transitioning to after life currently, it’s a matter of days… but I literally can’t cry. It’s so sad & I know what’s coming, but it’s a numb feeling. I used to be overly emotional. I’d cry over every damn thing, when something hit me.. it hit me hard. The only emotion I feel now of days is stress.
This is so relatable 😭😭😭 And the worst part is when you're not able to make the other person understand what exactly you're feeling or going through because you seem happy to them. But that happiness is overtaken by your depression in no time!
I relate to five of these, and I've been emotionally numb since my best friend left and we lost contact, I've been trying to figure out why I'm this way as in what might have caused it and this video really helped me figure that out so thank you☺️
i can cry and feel sad or nervous about some things but i havent felt excited or happy in almost 2 years. i dont feel normal anymore, i dont know whats wrong with me but i just want to feel normal again.
I barely even feel happiness or sadness I just go on with the day like I still have a goal in mind which I don't have any more I just keep moving until I end.
When you feel like crap all the time but can't cry is the absolute worst.
Exactly.

Yes, I'm sure we can all relate :'(
I'm always like this
Damn right
Sometimes I just wanna cry and let all my emotions out, but I can't
If you have anyone in your life who you can talk to (a friend, family member, anyone) please talk to them I was bottling all my emotions and then I spoke to the one freind in my life I can actually talk to and let it all out and it was such a huge burden lifted off me so please find someone to talk to and let it all out .I believe in you and I'm sure anyone else who reads your comment believes in you too. Stay strong
@@ok-vy4pt Thank you so much 💜 I'll try to talk to someone
Listen piano music, close your eyes and let it flow. It bring up emotions and it is easier to cry and let them out, listening hour or 2 should be enough but really depends on person. I personally find it is very helpful and i have been doing it for one it year+. I hope it helps:), take care!😇 (sorry for bad english).

After a trauma , I became completely numb , like I couldn’t feel anything at all. No matter if I received a good or bad news , I didn’t care and felt completely emotionless. Guys if you’re feeling like this , don’t ignore it , it’s depression , and everybody experiences it differently ... my advice would be to force yourself to move , exercise and talk to people , even if these are the last things you feel like doing , it’s hard at first but trust me it helps ❤️ don’t stay lonely suffering

When you feel so much that you start to feel nothing, the next step is bleakness. The challenge is we cannot selectively numb emotions because when we numb the painful emotions, we also numb the positive emotions. So this is a Tough one 🖖

Feeling numb is a huge problem! Because it also can disturb our memories.
This is due to the fact that memories are better stored and better retrieved if they were connected to an emotion ( good or bad) .
So , feeling numb general affects your memory.
If you feel it has lasted too long, please go and seek help
Worsening my already terrible memory isny a huge problem
THATS WHY I CANT REMEMBER ANYTHING????? my memory is SO BAD
I can't get help. My family doesn't know I am this vulnerable and we wouldn't be able to afford therapy and medicine anyways. Nothing else helps. Soon I might resort to cutting if I can do it without anyone knowing. I need help... I'm only 10 and live is going terrible.
That explains my horrid memory, these past few years have been on and off
Im 14 and it has been going on since i was 13 im to worried to reach for help
I feel like I might be emotionally numb. At first I didn't notice my change but all my family always keep saying that I'm not as energetic and happy as I was before.And some times I feel sad because sometimes my mom will tell me to smile,but I just can't, I just don't think that anything's funny anymore.But some times I just get mad because I'm just trying to be myself,my mom's always telling me to be myself but once I do she gets upset because I'm not as "happy" as before.Anyways they also tell me that I never want to come out of my room or go anywhere to socialize.But honestly I just think that it's hard to communicate now because I feel like every time I talk I'll be judged for wat I say,or I just think that there are just too much people sometimes.
Anyway to the person who actually read this,thank you and I'm sorry for rambling on and on.
It's fine. It's better to put out your frustration here than to keep it to yourself. I feel the same way it's a long story so I'll just say that some stranger is here to support you! We can overcome this 🙂
My mom showed me a picture of myself 5 years ago and said “you looked so happy” gave it to me to give me inspiration to be happy again. It hurt. Bc she was right. I was happy 5 years ago.and I’m not quite sure how to get back to that place
Everyone has always a difficult stage in long life. It is important thing that how can you escape it? you can not live negatively in your whole life. Escape it and stand up.
I felt numb a lot but nobody noticed bc sometimes I tell myself it’s nothing and just go through the motions like I’m on autopilot
every. single. thing. said. i can relate u. like all of it :(
1:10 I’m starting to feel like this,this has been happening to me a lot🫠 on my birthday I just didn’t feel that happy I just put on a fake smile and a fake laugh I just feel like I’m just existing and I can’t feel excited over anything
I feel numb. I used to be really emotional and sensitive and now I just feel numb. I don't cry, I don't yell, I don't laugh. I still do feel, but not as much as I used to. Its not like I'm a shell of myself, I'm more like a shadow. The faintest imprint of who I was remains, haunting my old self. I didn't like crying, I didn't like feeling sad like that, but now that I can't feel that much, I miss that a lot. I still feel, but just not enough and somehow that's worse. Just that little bit of what used to be, haunting me. I feel like its my very identity being stripped away. I used to be an emotional sponge, absorbing however the other person would feel, but now I am indifferent to the emotions of others and myself. There is no empathy. I don't cry, I don't yell, I don't laugh. That is just how it goes. It rips me apart, I can feel myself shattering, but it doesn't change anything. Because the emotion is no longer there to make it hurt.
I just want to feel something. I just want to feel.
I have emotions but I don't know how to let them out. I bottle them subconsciously. I don't cry, I don't yell, I don't laugh.
I do feel like this is sense before days cause my friends left me and never care about me I have some friends who care of me and my mum felt like this and before a day that happend when I fight with my father I cried hours and after that my friends did that and I feel numbness nothing as always I am empath and affectionate to everyone now I don't feel shit I am mad with myself
I feel this
Is it like its a waste of time or energy to do so its just better to shrug it off? If it's yes then same.
This describes a lot of how I feel. I can still laugh sometimes but I never cry anymore. I want to wake up and I'm desperate but I don't know how. If you are feeling better please tell me how. It's been 2 years I won't let myself live like this anymore I need to wake up
I feel the exact same thing.
Everyone talks about when it hurts
Everyone talks about when you cry
Everyone talks about when you lose motivation for simple tasks.
Not enough people talk about when you just go to your room, lie down in your bed, and do nothing. Because you don't care about anything anymore. And you spend each day just waiting for the day to end.
That is true sadly
Yeah ur right
My energy has been sucked out, I spend my days doing nothing. I was never allowed to process my emotions, so I started becoming numb to them to get away from the pain. I can’t feel happiness as much too, though.
That’s me. When I just want not the day to end, but my life to end. Pretty sure I have depression :DD

Why did i thought the title was emotionally dumb 😭😭

Yes dumb not numb, emotions are dumb so that's why I numbed it.
Because you 'thought' and didn't 'think' 😋
or you could also just be fed up with how the world works so you just stop caring about everything and focusing on yourself, some call is psychopathic but honestly i'm living a much less stressful life since i stopped caring about what anyone else says or thinks to the point where i dont even care if something bad happens to other people, sure it sucks bad things happens but life goes on, pick yourself up or just let your emotions burden you.
i know what i prefer.
Honestly... same
Well, not everyone can do that, you know? Some people are just sensitive by nature, it's not their fault.
psychopathy could also be result from trauma though. Also it could make your like harder if you are not good at manipulating people.

I think what led me to feel numb is definitely feeling burned out by school and work. I’ve been doing that consistently thinking that it’s cool to hustle and grind (to work hard because it’s the right thing to do, pretty much how social media tells you to focus on your work) Like yeah it’s nice to hustle and grind, get that bag or whatever but seriously learn when to stop working so hard to take care of your mental health.
Same here
Hey Everyone,
It's okay to feel numb sometimes, we all have a moment of shutting down and not sure what to do or how to get back up. One of the most important thing is mindset and giving yourself a kick in the butt to wake yourself up. Don't ever get stuck in the comfort zone and this is why th-cam.com/video/_hNMVuBxNLA/w-d-xo.html

#6 is a big one. It's never ending problems. Always having to help others doesn't leave much time for yourself.
It’s taken me forever to find my “illness”. I always feel like I can’t complain or talk to any of my friends because none of them are emotionally numb or whatever, most are clinically depressed. But any ways it’s nice to know there are others like me. I am going to share my story with you, yes you. Stranger.
The most horrible thing I go through is not being able to intentionally think. My brain is like always half in this straight forward mindset, answering questions responding to people, you know, normal things! While the other half is completely empty. The worst thing is I have to listen to all this mind breaking silence until I go to sleep. I really wanna get fixed. The “noise” is starting to be too much.
I feel the same , do you feel tiredness?
@@yasme9680 I think because that is more physical then mental

Been dead inside for years. I never cry. Ever.
Incapable of loving anyone, all my relationships crash and burn quickly.
I'm fucked...
I still cry but only when i snap and start skin picking or scratching. :/ then i can immediately snap our of crying and go silent.
Have I forgotten my goals and passions? No , I never had them to begin with
My entire personality is a mask, I feel I have no identity, I'm noone, I have no likes, no interests, no goals, no hobbies. Nothing drives me, nothing calls me from within, I'm just an empty carcass of a human being
God I wish I was dead, what's the point of a creature like me coming into the world only to suffer life
My thoughts exactly. No identity, no preferences. Don't know what to do and whether I can fix that ever or not..
To learn how bad it is. To help the other people in your life to never know what that feels like. I myself am in the same place you are right now, but I've learned that making sure you are there for the people in your life and helping them get through the same void you are in makes escaping that void far easier. Hold on buddy; we'll all get through this together.
Those are my exact thought three years ago. Now I still agree with most of it except the last sentence. Through out these three years good people had showed me life is not all pain and suffering. Happiness and pleasant surprise do exist. That balance and contrast, overall life is not bad.
I am going through exact same thing. Just nothing. Nothing interests me anymore. If any of you did got better, do tell me the process. I have tried every way. First 2-3 days it works, then back to square one.
Hey I personally spill on random videos to help. I have parents that denied my dreams and made fun of them, and I tried talking to my mom and she yelled at me and asked if I needed medicine. Me and my sister hid how we felt and we learned how to move quietly because of my dad. I personally laugh through the pain or cry in a dark closet, but besides this I can't tell you why we suffer or a reason to go on. Everyone will find a drive eventually and it will be like a snow ball.
As humans we all have to deal with issues. Mediation has helped me a lot. You guys are doing an amazing job. Keep up the good work.
such intelligence is a curse
i feel like a robot. i still have morals and reactions to things but i can act any way i like, as well as shut off my emotions in a way. it’s strange. i’m on antidepressants and antipsychotics though, so i suppose it’s all part of getting used to it.

I don't know but due to this i have lost dreaming like a dream to become something, i am nomore passionate about anything
I used to be in yalls shoes until my mom kept nagging me to pray for years and I didn’t but that one time i was like i tried everything so why not try god. It felt amazing i was able to cry after years of being so empty. I felt alive again. I felt like my mind became organized. Guys even if you don’t care about god or think it’s a placebo you can’t deny that it feels amazing to know that someone out there is looking after you. Someone you can complain to and rely on.
I know what my dreams are, but because I feel so lonely, misunderstood, stressed and not motivated to do anything, I don't know what to do now. I mainly just lay in my bed praying that I just die quickly and peacefully so that the pain doesn't have to continue.

Thank you so much for this information, I've been feeling emotionally numb for a while now. It's hard to find things that make me happy, and things that make me sad. It all feels like an illusion and its confusing and weird.

In the past few years, I've went through multiple traumatic events involving my entire family. Not to mention, I'm a young teen. I now understand why I've felt numb for the past 3 years, which interesting enough, is when this video came out.
I just want to feel happiness again... I only got diagnosed mentally a few months ago, but nothing really benefitted from it besides that. I've needed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but it's not widely available in my area.
I still hope, that someday, I will finally overcome all if this.
Hey, on the CBT note, if youre open to it, it may be helpful to try online therapy. I will say it is not the same as going to see someone in person but if CBT is what you need and you cant get it in person, a google search (or maybe the website the youtube channel talks about) should be able to connect you to someone who can provide CBT nonmatter where you are.
When you're early but you're still late
You are always there at the right time!
When you finally cry after a while but you’re too sad to feel happy about it 😭
I have no goals, passion, or values.
Doesn’t matter if something happens or not it’s neutral to me now

I kind of just don't care about how i feel like ever.
I remember going through a phase like this when I started middle school. It was after 5 years of being a bully. More than a decade and a half later, the pain of regretting what i’ve done is still there.
I think an important step is to forgive yourself. You can't change the past, but you can change the future; and maybe find people that you've bullied on social media and apologize for it

I have been feeling numb and emotionless these past few months and wondering why I haven't felt thrill or enjoying my life anymore. I wonder if I have unknown depression, yet all the hundreds tests or symptoms that I checked just not clicked with me. I'm too mentally stable, yet I felt numb. People around me have been describing me as happy and positive person all my life. Yet, inside I'm numb. Thanks to this vid, no 1 perfectly explained why I have been feeling numb.
My studies are being damaged greatly...can't even focus on this for numbness
For a second a thought the title said “emotionally dumb” 😂
ps. Thanks for inspiring me to make my own animation channel 😊
we do be feeling like that sometimes
Bahahaha 😂😂😂
You should have more subs your vids are amazing
Michael Wow thanks that means alot! 😃
Finally, someone made me crack a smile.. 😏
i feel this all the time
I hope it gets better for you❤️
@Freakyears Elton lover That you live with numb. I do not believe you can live with this emotion. you have your own way to deal with it. Right?
Yeah, I always feel emotionally numb, and sadly I do not believe any of the things in this video describe why
I literally relate to every single one.
Which reasons did you relate to the most?
I think is more difficult when we grow up or everyone is married or have a partner and the feeling of loneliness is worst. Being older maybe, is difficult to have emotional connection at a deeper level, 😢
I feel mostly numb & when I’m not I feel sadness and the urge to cry but I can’t. I’m not 100% why. Maybe it’s because my hearts been broken, then I went ahead and broke it again (this time myself) 2-3 more times by doing things I’m not proud of. By not being who i know & want to be. I hate the feeling like I’m waiting for someone, something to pull me out of this. But I also feel like, I’m the only person holding myself back. I know where I want to go in life, but I’m not too sure how to get there. There’s been moments in my life where I feel overwhelmed with love & joy for a period of time and I want that back. I want to break free of whatever it is that has a grip on me. I’ve been trying for soo long ( a year now) and I still feel like this. I have moments of confidence and good times, I’m always positive and say it’ll work out, at least I deal with anxiety & depression better but feeling numb isn’t what I want either. I feel disconnected. But I know I’ll never stop fighting. Idk why I wrote this, I just wanted to get it out.
Thanks a lot for making me understand this feeling of feeling emotion less a little better. It’s something I thought only would last for a month, but I’ve lived like this for a year. I really miss feeling angry, sad, loved, lonely, and happy. For a year now I’ve felt like a walking statue hiding my emotions, but me myself cannot even decipher what I feel. The second cause, about mental illness is probably the reason, sadly I thought I had overcome my depression but apparently not. Before, I could cry my eyes out all day but now I cannot shed a tear when a relative dies (which also too me sounds cruel). A while ago I truly loved someone, but now I don’t feel anything special towards anyone, not just love but gratefulness and happiness when seeing someone. And I don’t think I’ll ever love someone romantically based of how I feel now. Same with happiness, what is it. How do I feel that again, doing something that I “love” isn’t helping. How do one deal with this when you know the reason?
Did you get some help. Did it improve. I am under the same trouble.
@@ravin2363 it did, even though I wouldn’t say I’m happy and pleased with my life situation. I feel a lot better now compared to that time, not because so much have changed in life but I started to understand why I happened to be in that state of mind at first place and have come to accept it. Now I’m in a healing process where it can only get better! It will not be like this forever even though it seems hopeless, I assure you
@@shenmay8851what about now
The last three years have had nothing but deaths for me and I fear it's not over. I'm 18 (turning 19 in 2 days though) and since 2019 I've lost my dad, my grandpa on his side, several cousins but Krystal died in the most brutal way (decapitated in a motorcycle accident, guy who hit her took a picture and put it on facebook), my great grandma today (at least she didn't die early), three separate family friends we've been close with since I was little, several pets and my mom is drinking herself to death despite being diabetic. I don't know how soon she'll go, I'm hoping she'll be around for a long time but she has legit been constantly saying she might die soon and she's constantly in pain and I can clearly see how much her health has been deteriorating. Her mental stability is going out the window too that's for sure. My dog I've been best friends with for 8 years is also going to pass any day now. She's 12 and her two breeds only typically make it to 10. This is just the people who've died in the last 3 years and the two I'm most concerned are going to pass away next. This doesn't include any of the other traumatic events I've been through, especially recently, the things I've seen, the things I know now as well, I have been overwhelmed more than I could ever hope to be capable of accurately describing. And with COVID on top of all of this I think I went legitamitely bonkers. Hopefully I'm just grieving but I don't think I'll ever be the same person I was. And yes. I am incredibly numb. Whenever I do feel, and that is rare, the feeling is totally drowned out by anger, regret, guilt, pain, grief, cynicism, pessimism, it gets so bad my stomach tightens up, my chest physically hurts from the pain, my head hurts, I have an incredibly hard time sleeping, lately I wake up after intense and depressing dreams covered in sweat with no motivation to get up. It has affected me in so many other ways but I think I got enough out of my system for now. I can't afford therapy anymore or insurance so that was like my biweekly session right there.
Keep your head up bro
This is my life:
Everyone, family, friends and anyone comes to rant or talk to me when they need me but when it’s my time to try to talk or even send a text to my friends, everyone is busy, interrupts or just don’t care to listen to what I have to say...even if they “listen”, they are not actually listening or interested so why even bother? 🤷♀️
I'd be a very good stritipical Jedi Knight of The Galactic Republic. I've embraced the Jedi Philosophy to survive. It's also made me an even better escape goat.
I haven't felt anything 'true' in about a year... I have reached the point where numbness is all i know... i can't function properly anymore. Im a senior in junior college, so i dont even have time to process. Im done with everything ,constant exams applying to colleges everything! The things i used to find fun before don't relate to me anymore. My parents dont understand it and just push it away saying im being too dramatic and that i am doing all this as an escapism tactic.. I probably am, but it doesn't mean that it is all it i.
Yall will be okay remember that I love you and however hard it is, someone's always there, no matter how dark it is!💞
@Freakyears Elton lover I promise you, it's going to be okay.
When i was so young , I believed your words.. But when I mature, I understand that no one can help you except you. You have to help yourself and find out the way to escape darkness
I just got scammed out of $400. I sold my phone to a scammer. That money is the only thing that can help me because I lost my job recently. I don't know if it has not sunk in yet but I want to cry it out and let my emotions out. I just can't. I don't even care what will happen to me. All my debts that I need to pay. Right now I am just feeling numb.
Something much better is waiting for you. Use patience
I’m praying for you i hope you’re feeling better now😭🙏
Thanks for all your videos Psych2go, they’re really helpful!
No thank you for your support!
I'm tired of everyone judging me for my Emotional behaviour (because I'm a male everyone judges me thinking that I am being Feminine), that's why I stopped showing my emotions and now I am so used to it that I don't even know when I was genuinely happy 🙁
i'm not sad numb, i'm just numb. i act happy all the time but i'm not really excited for anything. i'm definitely not about to cry all the time. i'm not lonely, and i'm not popular. im kinda just fine, but i'm not sure if i'm ok with that
I think the reason I feel emotionally numb, is from Trauma and possible Verbal Abuse. And the fact I have yet to forgive someone for the trauma that they caused me. I want to forgive said person but I've had nightmares about said person that let me think to NOT forgive and forget. Since I discovered Psych2go I have begun to understand the reasons I feel certain things, the toxic relationships I have had, and other things. I have had a much healthier mental state, keep these things up Pshyc2Go because you can help so many people. Just like this channel has helped me. I remain feeling emotionally numb but I know I can get through this. I can get help. I can open up, and I can get away from the man I know an hate who caused all of this.
Agreed
Same I̶h̶a̶t̶e̶m̶y̶d̶a̶d̶
I've gotten quite good at feeling numb emotionally while examining others and attempting to display the emotions that I think are appropriate for the situation. I also want to cry, but unless I'm like watching a TV show or empathize with the characters in a game, I cant seem to have anything come out. I desperately want to feel loved when I open up to others about things and they hug me or say kind things, but I either feel scared/anxious, or I feel next to nothing but a low grade of the frustration over not being able to just feel what I want to feel inside.
I never told anyone about this.... Since a kid I always had this spark this..feeling. It used to overwhelm me and motivated me to stand out and produce good fruit in character , love admiration and etc. It helped with everything even in the dark days I felt this feeling. Just life and watching and seeing people uplifted me in a way that was so good and full of emotion and passion I didn't want to call it that.... It was more than that , it felt so much more!!!!! . Could anyone relate with me? Anyways I had this feeling and it sparked when I watched movies , shows(like avatar lol) and especially music! I have always had this great connection with music... Indescribable and my emotions or this feeling would take me to a universe I that was soo comfortable. Literally ong from child hood songs and programs to all genres of music even piano, jazz etc. I soon discovered I had a gift some years after and man. I was so hyped!!! I've always loved music especially love music . since a kid always loving love music the most with those CLASSICAL 2008 r&b vibes and would always wanna dance and express it to a girl lol, or in the dark contemplating . and then rap man... It evolved me. I had the gift of being influence to make a great song or creation based of what influenced me. And people loved it . I never thought I'd ever want to be an artist, but I knew this is what I had to do. It was a gift and I loved it so much. But my emotions or, this feeling sparked it in after you were so it started to fade away...... I was getting scared because I didn't want to lose this this was something that I lived off of that was always comforting me when things were hard ,my emotions. And as I was losing this I started to lose my passion for music and how I felt and so I couldn't perform as well as I used to and now I got to the point where the year past and it feels like it's almost is completely gone. I barely feel it to the point I feel it doesn't exist. I undergo to lot of depression and trial and tribulation in my own household and its just ling story but I say this to state how going through this did not help Reviving it, my emotions at all . I never thought I'd have to go through this now im numb and I also dont feel or take in life like how I used too..... I stopped making music and really engaging in the things I love doing because I dont feel it the way I used to the spark is just barely there as small as a grain. I sometimes reminisce on my younger life and memories and just take in the vibes and feeling I had then. It used too take back in full experince. But now I dont even feel it the way i used to. I used to do this alot to remember how emotion and passion feel like but it never felt the same. I could no longer enter a new season , I felt, with a new nostalgia to be created as I would move on from that previous one. I made playlist or re watched movies to revive it but it just wasn't the same. And the more you keep doing something the more dry becomes in the more dull. This got me sad that i cant feel. I then even remmincse on how I felt on my begging journey of making music and it was so vibeful. But i can barley connect to it as well and you get sick of it at some point I hate it!!!! Nowadays going through gaslighting narcissistic abuse and other psychological abuse it's not helping at all. UHH i feel like i lost my identity sometimes . emotion is a beautiful and powerful thing. I would always wanna keep it inside to never be verbally discussed I never thought I ever ever ever but it's so foriegn at this point that I am now! All this happening in one or two years!Does anyone else relate with me and have similar story to share or advice?
We’re the same, some people are born this way. It’s amazing and you don’t realise how great you are until these feelings go even the slightest. All of my family are narcissist and they hate me even when I help them, they hate that spark. I’m glad you spoke of narcissistic abuse because these people squash your light and emotions making you think that you should hate it. I pray to God every time to keep this feeling in me, I’m sure God can restore you because God made you and gave you that light so I pray you get it back, you have to let go of bitterness and toxic people that drain you. Knowing what Jesus did for me and who he is keeps me hopeful
Sometimes I don’t know how to feel. I one time got completely ignored by my group in a group project. My spirit has been broken to the point I don’t even want to suggest ideas because I get shut down immediately, but then they ask me “do you have any ideas” and I don’t answer I feel selfish because they want ideas from me but because i get so emotional for some reason I feel as if I have the right to not come with ideas to the table. Anyway that happened and I felt numb
Through out my childhood I was completely emotionally numb and had alot of emotion sealed in me which I couldn't access I also feeled a lot of loneliness and entertainment less which I still feel occasionally but then I discovered Anime 🎉
Psych2Go: *explains number 6*
Me: So that's why I'm emotionally numb.
*realizes she doesn't know how to tell anyone*
Me: Well... idk anymore
Hey psycho2go ive been having a problem lately about my emotional health. Im 13 years old and recently i just feel like I'm not processing real life anymore. I think that its because of the pandemic and that my life was put on pause. Can you please do a video talking about this but more importantly about how to appreciate little moments in life. Im not sad or mad i just feel like I dont really see a future anymore. Thanks :)
You described it perfectly. Im not procesing life. Thank you!* Hug*
13 is a very tough age, I remember. it well. You are beautiful, stay strong. If you continue to feel awful, please get some medical advice. The other thing is, you might want to have your thyroid checked. Mine was off, making me super depressed. Taking Synthroid really helped me.
SAME
I feel EXACTLY the same and I'm also 13. Good to know that I am not alone in these times. Stay strong we can do it.
Same but I'm only 10...
Am I the only one that yells at myself afterwards for being open or vulnerable?
Maybe I lost myself my passion sometimes I feel like everything in extra and meaningless like there,s no reason for that day and life is extra and feel like feeling lost I hope God never give this condition to anyone I pray that you all get well soon or soonest thank you.👍
I've felt emotionally numb since my grandpa's death in 2017. It didn't start immediately, but in 2019 that's when it was a little bit noticable. Me and him were best friends. We always fixed stuff, built stuff, or just hung out and had coffee, breakfast or lunch with each other. I was only 10 when he died, so I was pretty suicidal, and I didn't know what suicide was. I didn't know it was a word at that time. Literally if someone dies or a disaster happens, or whatever, I don't even feel sad I just go "meh". When i get something I've been wanting, I don't get excited. This bothers me because I want to show that I care and I'm thankful. This has been going on a lot since 2020 and mostly I'm thinking "why can't I feel any emotions?". I've also been wishing to go back to the past, when I could feel emotions and I was happy most of the time. Am I just failing as a human being or will this end sometime soon? :/ I'm really sick of myself being unable to feel things.
Hmmm.. I do feel emotionally numb but none of these points seem to be relating with me.
I know exactly who I am and what I want.
I do think a lot but I also meditate which brings me peace so mental issue, I don' know.
No trauma of any sort.
No abuse of any sort.
No loss of any sort. Thank god for that.
Stressed, a little, but a healthy amount. Thank video games for that.
No meds of any sort.
Yet. I feel like my innards are made of wax when I should feel gratitude or empathy.
Its not all the time so. Just comes and goes. Anyone else in the same boat?
I have common things with you. I help my self to find my own way the escape. And finally I overcome it
Actually that's what I'm feeling right now
I’m sure it’s number 6 pretty much especially during these times. I don’t think I’m absolutely numb, but sometimes it feels like the feelings are put through a filter, with not much positive emotions coming out. Most of the time when I’m optimistic and if I just start feeling generally good unexpectedly, it can get me through it. I believe (hopefully) once summer comes I won’t be worrying about this anymore. This has been affecting the way I think too, it’s harder to remember things and concentrate. I think lack of sleep might also have to do with it for me. It also really sucks not being excited for things really and not really enjoying music. But today has been better for me and since the stress will die down significantly by the end of next week I’m confident it’ll be over soon (hopefully).
I haven't lost sight of myself. I don't have any mental illness. I haven't had anything traumatic happen. I haven't been through abuse. I haven't lost anyone recently. I'm not stressed out. I don't take medication. All of these I don't have. I just don't feel emotions very strongly. I don't know why but I just don't.
When I went into high school I started getting really stressed about homework, sports, my crush, friends, etc and eventually everything just shut off. I experienced apathy and didn’t care about anything anymore.
I saw this in my notifs and I was like.
LEMMEKNOW
Yea I'm officially depressed 😢
I have like 90% of these things
99.9%💔🙂
I swear to god this happened to me today it was kinda scary but at the same time not i literally had no fear but also feel like I didnt want to say anything it maybe a panic attack I had but i literally couldnt laugh or like show genuine emotion thank god it was for a short time you cant really describe it until you experience it for yourself it literally feels like someone took your emotions you dont feel about anything at all
0:31 yep that’s true for me
1:51 yep that one to my for grandma and my dad to
2:25 yep that one too true for me, I did lost a relationship with my best friend on Twitte
2:50 yep that one too true for me, I did stress a lot off my parents in my school
3:19 yep I do go with medication, for stopping for seizures for me, because it end up in the hospital
That really helped me a lot
It's been a month being not who i am , i feel like all my emotions are numb , i feel like to cry , tell others how i am feeling but when i see around myself there's actually no one i can really trust and share my feeling cauz they're just gonna make fun of it . The happy , confident, enthusiastic me is lost
you just get like this once you reach your late 20s and all your friends are dead from suicide and all you have left is a few shadows of former selves but you can't kill yourself because you have a duty in life to someone else so you just carry on blindly overshadowed by a mountain of saddens so heavy and cold you just end up staring through everyone and everything.
i just feel emotinally numb if something bad has happened TOO many times,everytime,so it doesn’t even phase me anymore,bec ik it will never be different.
Hey
I've been trying to fix these problems since (I forgot), and I've lost more than 60% of my memories. What really made me numb was that remaining or saved-up memories are all bad. I never forget them because everything reminds me of them. I can't help but think that I haven't cried for 3-4 years, and cant express or feel any emotions. I'm almost 14 and I'm pretty shocked to see how I am already and cant do anything to fix this. I'm starting to ask myself if I even have any, I'm starting to fake smile, laugh, and be happy. If I find something funny, I laugh but my face starts to hurt. Now when I laugh because something is funny, I have to scratch my skin and pinch myself to stop. I think I need help, but I'm starting to get used to it.
If you’re reading this ❤️
You are loved, You are beautiful, things will get better, and you will find happiness 💕
There is always a rainbow after it rains. You just have to look past the grey clouds.
It might take time,, but life gets better, and you will too ❤️
For everyone out there facing any hard times, I’m cheering you on! :)
thank you so much :) that meant a lot to me, I hope you have a amazing week ʕっ•ᴥ•ʔっ❤️
Thank you :) Have a good day!
I’ve been through a lot of trauma the past few years. Overwhelmed 100% of the time. My granny who raised me & I truly love so much is in hospice care, transitioning to after life currently, it’s a matter of days… but I literally can’t cry. It’s so sad & I know what’s coming, but it’s a numb feeling. I used to be overly emotional. I’d cry over every damn thing, when something hit me.. it hit me hard. The only emotion I feel now of days is stress.
I do not feel sad, lonely and deppresed how i used to few months ago, and i belive that it would push me even more to become best version of myself
This is so relatable 😭😭😭
And the worst part is when you're not able to make the other person understand what exactly you're feeling or going through because you seem happy to them. But that happiness is overtaken by your depression in no time!
That's me
@@ramiyasnim6718 your alone
I relate to five of these, and I've been emotionally numb since my best friend left and we lost contact, I've been trying to figure out why I'm this way as in what might have caused it and this video really helped me figure that out so thank you☺️
"I have become comfortably numb."
Shalin Pather such a good album/song
One of Pink Floyd's finest. This was a great topic, BTW
Me too
i can cry and feel sad or nervous about some things but i havent felt excited or happy in almost 2 years. i dont feel normal anymore, i dont know whats wrong with me but i just want to feel normal again.
I barely even feel happiness or sadness I just go on with the day like I still have a goal in mind which I don't have any more I just keep moving until I end.
@victory steele I feel you. How are you now?
Hai

Hi
