When you're used to nothing but heartache, disappointment, letdowns, setbacks, people using you all the time, plus being abused as a young kid, you tend to feel numb all the time. Disappointment becomes normal, the emptiness feeling is endless because at every turn, something bad or negative, keeps happening. 😢😢

I was literally thinking...how nowadays i dont feel anything...no excitement for any festival...party or anything..i just feel numb and can't connect with people

[goofball]

Literally because I used to be a really emotional person and I was happy most of the time but than I went through trauma, and OCD, and depression and now I feel nothing. I’m nonchalant about everything.

I can ABSOLUTELY relate to the first point mentioned about "cruising through life on autopilot". While I mostly feel that I AM in control of my life, sometimes I feel that I'm going through each day passively.

I feel alone. Not because I'm alone really but because I don't feel understood and i don't understand my own feelings. That makes me to feel Alone...

It's sad that my father just told me a few hours ago that l have no feelings, And he's wrong. the point is that people who don't know you very well, will think that your empty.
EVERYONE has feelings but sometimes we don't feel the need to show them or the situation is not allowing you.
So that's why most of the people having the idea that other people have no feelings

Formally Diagnosed 2 years ago( on top of being “broken” )w Autism belated to 2000 when formally diagnosed w ADHD. But to me these LABELS are just names for what I’ve lived with “forever”. Nothing changed
R-E-A-L-L-Y. Nothing changed as medical professionals can’t /couldn’t help even though I changed psych 6 times.

I remember telling my teacher that, rather than experiencing all types of emotions, the world always seemed gray and dull to me. I can’t even remember the last time I didn’t eventually return to my state of numbness.

I started following this page and how much I’ve learned about my emotions is crazy to me. I hope everyone reading this has a good day and remember, one day at a time. ❤️🌸 accepting our emotions and accepting we need help is ok

Went thru childhood with trauma, then it strengthened thru teenhood, heightened during early 20s, a long the way went thru bullying, a divorce, and several close calls with death, along the way this accompanied me along with other issues, now my 30s are spent fixing and healing, thanks to this channel I can move forward, remember there is always HOPE

[meganbeecroft]

I feel like I am super aware and have gained the knowledge to discern what “I am feeling”. Even though I really have no thoughts towards them and barely cry unless I am usually extremely angry

[DEADLYFACED]

I always feel empty
Since I was little, thinking used to do things to me I didn’t know I could do. Always being overwhelmed by certain feelings I didn’t even know, isolating myself, letting people gaslight me because I didn’t know how to act “Human”.

[ironicockxssleep]

It's scary how this channel is so accurate of what topic and when to drop these videos right about when I experience it, but I'm thankful that this video dropped it really helped me understand myself more
