Numb
What is Numb?
You're not feeling much of anything in particular right now — emotions and reactions feel muted or distant. It can be hard to access enthusiasm or concern, even for things that normally matter to you. Naming this state is itself a useful step toward understanding what you might need.
When you might feel numb
Numb is a specific form of flat, which itself is a type of low. You might experience this feeling in situations where low is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define numb.
