what is it to be numb? is it to feel nothing or to feel everything so much its too much is it to be so aware you can just shut it off or is it just simply surviving maybe the answer is differently for everyone but for me being numb is everything and nothing at the same time feeling so many things you just feel nothing being confused and not being able to know your true feelings being numb isn't the absence of emotion its to be so overwhelmed with your feeling you don't know how to really feel them.
