I want to go numb. I don't want to feel anything. Not happiness, not sadness, not excitement, nothing. I just want my emotions to be absent. I just want to be numb.
Odd thing to ask but is there a way I could achieve that?

@Danny hmm, I mean having emotions are what makes us human. You can't really get rid of your emotions given that they are ingrained in your brain. Usually people consume drugs to achieve that, but it's a big no no to recommend that. Maybe you can just push everyone or everything away in your life and be alone, that'll be pretty numbing.
@Ive been neutered not possible when you are always surrounded by a bunch of people and professors , working in a group, people assuming you are their friend and you can't really push them away coz that would distrupt the team projects, partner who you love too much but they just end up hurting you, but you have a guilty conscience and a weak heart that you can't leave them
@Danny I mean, do you have a lover or have people that consider you a friend? The first step usually to getting rid of your emotions and feelings is to stop caring about other people and how it will affect them. Maybe you will feel guilty for doing it, but if you would really want to be numb then blocking out people's feelings is the way to go. It doesn't mean you don't have to interact with them. There's a difference between doing it to be nice or to just get by in society
@Danny i tried for a number of years,even attempted some meditations thay supposedly help,im now convinced they are b.s.

Unfortunately its hard to get rid of stupid emotions.
I never asked to feel,and many others expressed the same.
@Armageddon I assume it'll be more peaceful if i could just turn off all the emotions
