Emotional Numbness Quotes
“I feel that I fell somewhat under that category where I was using fighting to kind of run from my own self to an extent, to kind of numb the things that I thought about myself. When I had fighting taken away, I was forced to look at myself in the mirror and say, ‘What are you without fighting?'”
@Dominick Cruz
“Most people spend their lives doing one of two things to their emotions: numbing or venting.

@Alan Bradley
