The solution is to cut the strings without ending your life. |
I don't quite see what you're saying, but I don't think it's what I'm talking about. The "numb" I'm talking about is not feeling any emotions - no anger, no fear, no pleasure - nothing. Just being numb, no matter what physical sensations you're feeling (including sexual stimulation), and no matter what is happening in front of you. Eating food isn't pleasurable, sex isn't pleasurable, it's not possible to feel pleasure or enjoyment in any situation. Some people even numb physical pain out, and don't experience pain at all. I read about a kid who cut his arm on his school playgrounds, and continued walking around bleeding everywhere, until someone finally asked him about it. He looked down and was surprised to see he was bleeding. He actually didn't feel the pain.
