Have you ever felt that you're emotionally numb?
As in you feel nothing at all

After I tried to reconcile with the ex and moved back into our house with him, the IRS made a mistake on my income taxes from 2007. They said I owed them 10K. During this period I tried desperately to sell my house in Michigan, just in case I could not resolve the error in time. The IRS will charge you penalties if you don't pay them immediately. It was agonizing. My house had a buyer, and all my money was tied up in the house.
During that period, I had to find an apartment, pack, move, and find a job. I had to get the idiots at the Verizon employee office to try to comprehend that I needed to find the records from my IRA. It was probably the most horrible time in my life.
I did sell my house on time, just in case, and I got all the documents in to the IRS JUST under the wire.
I remember it was three months after the deadline when the IRS finally, finally sent me a letter. They didn't come out and admit they made a mistake, either. I remember sitting in the car trying to understand what I was reading and I, who can understand most English, could not understand the convoluted letter I was reading.
I said to myself, "I'm not going to cry here." I was sitting in my car in front of the post office. I felt like I needed to cry and never stop.
So I went home, planning to have a complete breakdown, and when I got there I sat at my desk and I couldn't cry. I was frozen inside...like I was in shock. I was numb to the core. I could not feel anything, and I could not cry.

@4meAndyou I guess I'm at the stage where you're at.
I was dumped last year, I got evicted and I had to deal with a lot of emotional trauma at home. I used to feel weak both emotionally and physically at that time.
I felt incapacitated now and numb overall. Like you, I hate talking to people and I lash out pretty easily. A small spark is enough to set me on fire.
I feel no remorse anymore because I don't think people will ever be able to understand me or do the same as I did for others.

@jomsim We all see and feel things differently.
Some people over react and some under react. It's based on the experiences we have faced in life.
I have seen a lot(not extreme) but enough for a person of my age. Now the same cannot be said for someone else who has never felt what I felt.
Everyone is different and we see the world in a different manner which makes us unique

@Fungirlmmm We all do at one point in life.
I used to feel pain but I kinda feel nothing at this point.
