Anyone else unable to feel emotions?

I'm unable to express feelings to others, and most of the time I feel desensitized to my feelings and the feelings of others. The only emotion I do feel is depression and that is usually when I do something bad which is from my emotional numbness. I've ruined so many relationships because of this. I can't express feelings.

    Yes since my mum died iv slowly been shutting myself off from people, from the pain i have also become numb like a robot if you know what i mean. I think my heart has just given up because its been hurt so much over the year and that was just the icing on the cake along with my ex shutting me out AGAIN. I can't cry, i don't get angry i don't feel nothing!

    When i feel this way i usually over-load and then retreat back to them. Wanting to feel emotions only makes them go further away. Clear your mind and focus on the stillness of the lake

    It's taken me a long time to get to where I was able to feel and show things emotionally. I had a rough childhood in many respects (good in many others, just not all). Guys, as a general rule are less emotional than women and I was worse off than the majority of guys.


    I'm 45 now and I'm still working on it and I will always have to work on it.

    Yes, when I'm in depression I have no emotions at all. It's the worst experience. Feels like I'm dead inside.

    I felt the same way for years....till I forced myself to get quiet on the inside and really dig for what I was feeling and then work to express it to others...not an easy thing to learn. You are feeling them but you are stuffing them down deep inside....
