How to become emotionless?

I don't think there is a way to become "emotionless", except for perhaps grave emotional trauma. It is possible to push down emotions, though it takes some work. Try by just keeping a straight face when you want to smile or laugh, or when you feel down and want to frown. It'll become easier, and it's even possible that the less emotion you show the less you feel.

I tried this for a while a few years ago (I think I thought it would be badass or something), but realized that all it was going to do was make it harder for me to enjoy my life. I really wouldn't recommend doing it.

Why would you want to be emotionless? A life without emotion is like a pie without filling! Listen, I feel that one of the easiest ways to become emotionless would be to smoke a lot of pot. If your high then you don't really care or feel. Another way would be to just not care about women or anything by always acting like you don't give a sh*t. Good luck man

Thx bt I'll keep looking, without emotions ere is a lot you can achieve and you don't tend to be perplexed like a person with emotions

I would be careful with that. If you really want to wipe yourself clean of emotions, you won’t really feel passionate about achieving things nor would you feel the defeat of failure. Both are needed for a successful life.

There is NO way to be emotionless. Everything you do and say will always be derived from some kind of emotion. You're meant to feel because you're human. The only way to stop feeling is to be dead.

Humans have emotions and it's impossible to be like a "robot" our life is controlled by emotions... Emotions are good! And I am not speaking about love and being sad Etc... I'm Speaking about being afraid, anger, the feeling of being comfortable... So the only way of being "emotionless" is to understand the emotion and what does it makes you feel. Then you could choose to ignore the "warning" that emotions gives you and forget that you feel that way or you could accept the feeling and try to be rational!!! And that a capacity that you could develop! Like putting a limit to the "size" of the emotion and be rational

A person without emotions is basically a zombie, you wouldn't want that! The only way is to suffer extreme emotional suffering until you get to the point where you have to pretend you don't have a heart or feelings any more and cover them up with a false sense of security - in other words, you become manipulative, shallow and just use and abuse everyone around you. Is that really what you want?
