How to numb emotions

Why numb them, embrace them
Where they come from what caused them

I understand the desire to numb your emotions, but your emotions are your indicators of your proximity to your true being. If you numb your feelings, there's no way to tell which direction you need to go to feel better.

Your feelings are there to protect you. You wouldn't inject your hand with Lidocaine to numb it so you couldn't feel the heat of the hot stove. You need the pain as an indicator that the stove will cause damage if you leave it there. Your emotions work the same way. Numbing your emotions puts you at risk of injury.

Idk, aside from getting a heartotomy. I haven't learned that one yet. Guess we harden our hearts and become cold. 😑

Strenuous prolonged exercise
or intellectual engagement with something completely separate from whatever stirred the emotions

or both I suppose

detaching yourself by using a third person perspective for everything

No joke, but ur a deadgirl I don't think you have any emotions to numb

By knowing one is not ones emotions. Then on can gradually create distance between ones self and ones emotions...once this skill is learned, one can exercise their choice to identify with an emotion or not.

This could get darker.
Alcohol. Drugs. Cutting...worse.
I sincerely offer my friendship with you to talk. No bullshit. No weirdness. Just someone who greatly cares.
Kelly.😔

hold it all in making you emotionally dead and then let it eat you away from inside until you burst out in emotions or do something bad

have a no strings attached fling... worked for me

stop caring for some time and soon nothing will matter

Hang around with cold hearted people for years

Become a sociopath.

Umm 😐 i dont know if anything works

Abandon all hope yee who enter here.
It's no so hard to do, but once it is done it is even harder to get back.
I gave up mine along time go, I no longer feel love, or happiness, sadness, sorrow, I do sometimes get mad not often or for very long.
Empathy is overrated.

I normally try to focus on something else. If something makes me feel sad, I stop thinking about it for a while until I suppress that emotion.

some people use drugs or alcohol
some people use sex

Traumatize the hell out of yourself.

well.. I take stuff.

Its easy. You kill them. You know how to, but do you really want to?
