Yes, for years when I lived with my parents. I think it's the only way I survived my mother's narcissism.

Yeah, the last 18 months to two years of my marriage. It's a long story but didn't really appreciate where I was mentally and emotionally at the time until I was out of it, nor did I appreciate the long term effects and damage that period of time did

I have been numb emotionally, the first time was after my first wife died. I became very introverted kept the curtains closed in a sence i was like the Pink Floyd tune i was comfortably numb in my own thinking. the thinking was numb an far from free.

Oh yeah I'm way numb.

It has happened to me also... sometimes i don't even laugh at funny things...I feel like Spock sometimes...

I have. Probably I still am.

What do you mean? What is numb emotionally? Although I read your comment, I am still not convinced I even know what it is, but then I have never run out of F**** (whatever that is) to give. Obviously, I have never experienced such a situation. Pain yes, pain to the point of wanting to turn off, yes, and that resulted in depression which is certainly not numb. So my challenge is conceiving of a situation where I don't have emotions anymore, and although I NEVER use emotions to argue a point, I am still very emotional. Cheers

ME.
