Thank you for another great video. I think I know exactly what you mean. After some really harsh break-ups and other big disappointments 10-15 years ago, I started numbing myself as well, to protect myself from the negative emotions. In a way, it was a conscious choice because I felt the need to shield myself from further heart aches - they simply hurt too bad 🫣 But as you said in the video, that also eliminates all the positive emotions, so you end up just kinda surviving and going through the motions without really getting excited about anything 🤔 And even though I sometimes want to go back to the way I was feeling before the numbness, it’s very hard to do, especially after so many years 🥴 I hope that made sense 😏
Liking the more informal videos touching these topics on this channel. I've also been feeling quite numb recently, spending too much time on social media, eating junk food etc. Doing a dopamine fast and getting a dumb phone is the best way I know to snap out of the cycle. Time to do another long one!
