Do you ever feel numb inside?

Answer 1

yes i do when a concentrate on negative things going on in my life... that's a natural reaction to conflict and despair.

advice is only warranted if wanted.so if you don't like this feeling i can offer some suggestions

First realize there is something to be learned from every ones different reaction

for example:
cold calculating manipulative individuals seem that nothing bothers them (for the most part)
the reason is that their brain is more geared to be analytical.
they look to defer an outcome their way..

we can take the analytical lesson and list the first 10 things you think of when your in this mood

then pros and cons of leaving them alone ...

take the 3 most wanted changed.. analyze those form most devastating to least.. and resolve

in a bout a week you've constructively changed your mood

finally if the reason you feel this way is due to the company you keep...

the best advice i can give is sit back and watch for a second a true friend will show worthiness thru actions

and a true friend will never ask you to compromise your values if so they are not genuinely concerned for your well being

Answer 2

It is not uncommon to feel that way when you are overstressed, dealing with grief (which can be due to various reasons). However, if the feeling goes on for weeks, or keeps reoccurring, it could be a sign of depression, either situational or chemical.

We often feel dissatisfied with our life, like we are in a rut, or like we live in a bubble and nothing touches us (feelings). Sometimes it can be very beneficial to have someone to talk these feelings out with. Keeping a journal, and/or doing artwork to express the feelings can also be beneficial.

Do consider seeing a doctor and/or counselor if things just seem to drag on and life feels unimportant. There are lots of possible solutions, and only some have to do with medications. Even if you do use medications, usually it is just temporarily while you work things out. Why be miserable if you don't have to be?

I wish you well, there is so much good in the world to enjoy, just waiting for you, and you want to be able to experience with all the feeling you were meant to have.
