I don't really know, it took me 3-4 years to get out of it and I don't really remember how I got into that state in the first place. Weird thing is that anime is what got me out of it.

Emotional power is very important, it is energy, think about how naruto kicks ass, study some taijiquan

Drugs .

Drugs .

Which is not something to be encouraged, including drinking alcohol to create that feeling of numbness.

i read somewhere it's got something to do with media. for example we easily tear for a sad tv show/movie but not so when sad events happen to our close ones, or we get exposed to much to advertisements (a lot of them triggers emotions to attract customers) that we gradually turn 'numb'

 

[wanderingcactus]

Umm losing hope. Drugs. Trauma. Adapting to emotional pain = it becomes normal and you barely notice it. Umm caring too much or too little

When you've been betrayed and hurt alot, you will feel said numbness. Like I have.

Oftenly related to childhood experiences, it can be caused by your parents divorce, the death of someone very close (e.g. mother, bestfriend or husband) or a the loss of something material but very important (house lost in a landslide, for instance), but, in contrast to public superstitions, it is not linked to traumas in former relationships, specially with men in this particular case. It could be said that it is in general a major change in your life.

 

[BlacLord™]

A hard life, plain and simple.

It'll more than numb you though, it can make you entirely devoid.

 

[Genrou]

There were occasions when letting go and moving on from a person I extremely care about has resulted to benign indifference, either after the Depression stage or the Acceptance stage.

 

[Atalaya]

Different for everybody, right?

 

[YowYan]

Self consciousness, consecutive failures, lack of joy in life.

Psychological Trauma, anxiety, depression and a loss of motivation could cause emotional numbness. ALso drug abuse...
