Our quality of life is dictated by our emotional experiences. We love the feeling of falling in love, and cry in pain when we have a fallout. We feel hopeful when we get that promotion, and disappointed when we don’t. Emotional numbness is the loss of ability to feel or express any emotion. It may provide a temporary relief from difficult emotions but chronic numbness can make you miss out on the integral aspect of being human. You may feel like your life is on auto-pilot with no purpose or meaning.
