how do i become emotionless?

Answer 1

As Didger said, Why would you want that? If you are only hoping to cover up past regrets and run away from yourself by tearing away your emotions, then you won't really get too far. Emotions are part of what makes us human.

But I agree, most of the time emotions are irksome. And you (mostly) won't go wrong on a person who prefers reason to emotion. Here are suggestions on how to clear up your mind of distracting emotions, and be the person you want to be:

1) Mostly, DETACHMENT. Remove yourself from the clutter, at least psychologically. Don't get too involved in the noise and the flurry. Don't jump with joy with the rest of the herd when your favorite basketball team wins the play, and don't get too choked up over that sad romantic movie. Those are inferior things you'll be better off not wasting your time in. Test yourself by seeing your situation at a detached observer's point of view, unburdened with personal feeling or reaction: what would you then be thinking, doing?

2) To lessen emotion, you must encourage- and spur on- reason. Clarify your mind, and set far-reaching goals that step beyond choosing which lipstick shade to get, which teachers to suck up to, and which cool people to be momentarily friends with; instead, border on philosophical, mathematical, worthy ideas. Read books, learn things; expand your range of thought and improve your mind. When you've immersed yourself on the ideas of both Buddha and Machiavelli, the world would be one person better off, who will stop to think and use his head when making decisions rather than simply surge on in a moment of fiery emotion. Acquire wisdom and you'll have a calm silence.

3) Establsh your own sense of identity. People oftentimes prescribe to a reaction or emotion that tey perceive as pleasing to a crowd or person whose approval they seek. Don't merely follow the flow, and be who you are without caring too much about what others will think and how they will see you. Jumping in the bandwagon withou stopping to consider is a mark of inferiority. That includes actions or remarks done merely to impress others- that means your happiness is still subject and reliant oh other people's perception and approval. Don't let it be that way.

That's it...

How To Become Emotionless

Answer 3

I have been through that, mostly because of a lot of situations which after a while, they become one. If that's your case, I don't know your story and I don't want to know it because we all have our little stories but I would suggest you to detach from it. Those things only take the worse out of you.
In my case, I always tried to kill myself and all the poop but one day, I found what I love and who I am. I would suggest you to look for something that makes you feel passionate about, something that makes your heart full with joy and makes you want to know more and no, it's NOT a person, I've read that Einstein used to say that if you want a happy life, you should tie it to a goal, not to people or things. I would suggest you to be the most rational you can, try to control your emotions as much as possible and try to find your truth, this sounds like a silly Disney movie but it works.

Answer 5

I do understand you, however your goal should be how to get your emotions under control, meaning not letting them govern you and your decisions entirely. If you completely divorce your emotions, you almost become a robot. You don't really want to do that, but yes get them under control by making decisions based on what makes sense and not what your emotions say do. For example, not allowing youself to get into a relationship that you know wouldn't be good for you even if you are attracted to someone. Or not doing something just because you don't want to hurt the other person's feelings even though you don't agree. It's about making the smartest choices based on your head and not your heart. It takes time and practice, but it will eventually happen.

When I was taking antidepressants for depression, the Dr. added Zyprexa to it to boost the antidepressant.
Zyprexa turned me into a zombie, a body that was just existing. Everything seemed so flat. I cared for nothing.
I decided I would rather feel depressed than emotionless, so I stopped all the drugs.
Are your emotions too painful? Is that why you wish to become emotionless? I do understamd that. Thinking and emotions can become as painful as a sore tooth.
Antidepressants can help ease the pain. Maybe you should try them. Later, you can get off them, once you stop hurting so much. Good luck. Feel better.

Answer 7

its okay to become detached from feeling temporarily but you dont want to be emotionless.... you become numb to everything and even when you want to feel something you cant. You go through life each day nothing matters nothing hurts nothing is good nothing is bad...you cannot feel anything. This is how I am now... it is not pleasant no matter how much I want to cry I cannot. It ends up making things worse in the end. This is just my own opinion but if you think it will help you... talk to someone because it solves nothing.

Answer 8

i dont know.. but its not something that you want to happen.... if you were very emotional in the past... and over time, you became emotionless, its not fun
kinda what happened to me... i wanna get it out.. but i CANT and it sucks because it feels so terrible and it hurts

Answer 9

That's how I've become lately. You can't get too attached to anything. Don't dance, sing, try not to tap. Don't laugh. Don't smile as much. And try to not get angry. (I know, thats hard.) Ignore all the @$$holes out there, it helps.

Answer 10

Depression is a direct result of fearing to feel. A result of not feeling.

If you won't let your heart break, you won't know love.... it's that simple.

But if you feel totally, there's no chance you could suffer unnecessarily.
