I can't cry anymore?

[Anonymous]

From a very young age I was such a sensitive little girl and I would cry at absolutely everything. My family would always tell me to toughen up so I did. But now I have no emotions. I can only feel sad for other people but when it comes to personal things I feel nothing. Whenever a situation occurs that I should cry, everything just goes numb. And I don't know what to do, so I just act like it never happened and move on with my life. For example I had a cat my whole life and it died two weeks ago at the age of 16. My whole family was in tears and I just sat there, walked away and went back to doing homework. I didn't shed a single tear and still haven't. I want to feel emotions but I can't. And I don't how to fix it. Please help me

I'm like this as well. I've felt such high intense pain that now everything else that would be considered painful is not bothered by me.
One pain can lessen another and knowing what great pain feels like makes it harder for you to crash by any of the lesser pains i. e nothing less hurtful will be enough to make you cry.

This is good that you're like this but you're not emotionless. If your parents died or any of your close friends i'm pretty sure you'd cry.

Would you cry if your car wouldn't start?

No, but I don't think anyone would

I did when mine wouldn't start this week at the store.
