to feel numb
to feel emotionally empty or detached · to be unable to feel emotions
What's the situation?
This expression perfectly describes that unsettling feeling when you've been through so much that your emotions just... shut down. 🤯 It’s like your heart and mind have decided to take a much-needed, albeit involuntary, break from processing any more feelings. You're not necessarily sad or angry; you just feel a profound absence of emotion. It's often used after a traumatic event, intense stress, or prolonged sadness. 💔
