Emotionally numb? Anyone? I need your assistance.
I want to become emotionally numb.
I know this probably sounds unhealthy or dramatic, but lately I’ve been thinking that I genuinely want to become emotionally numb. I don’t want to feel things so deeply anymore. I don’t want to get attached, care too much, overthink everything, get hurt, miss people, or have my mood depend on things I can’t control. And honestly, I’d be willing to give up the good emotions too. If becoming numb means I also lose some happiness, love, excitement, or that feeling of being genuinely alive, then so be it. At this point, feeling nothing sounds more peaceful than constantly feeling everything.
Has anyone else ever reached a point where they genuinely wished they could just switch their emotions off? What did you do?
