i watched Oprah last night. it was about a mom whose 3 kids were killed by her own husband. she looked like she was so numb. you know those kinds of days when you feel so numb that you can’t feel any other emotion but sadness? sadness that can make you feel numb. that’s it. everybody was crying and she was only staring at them.
funny, i got this description of NUMB from online:
Main Entry: dead
Part of Speech: adjective 2
Definition: indifferent
Synonyms: anesthetized, apathetic, asleep, boring, callous, cold, deadened, dull, flat, frigid, glassy, glazed, inert, insensitive, insipid, lukewarm, numb, numbed, paralyzed, senseless, spiritless, stagnant, stale, still, tasteless, torpid, unfeeling, unresponsive, vapid, wooden
dead . omg. unfeeling is more like it.
im not really having a good day today. some people can be so insensitive. insensitive- all they care about is themselves. it hurts me, really, that some people can do that to you when you actually are (always) good to them. you care so much, but they don’t. is that really a fact of life?
that’s why i’m becoming numb. and indifferent. when "old" friends no longer include you with their conversation (and when you ask them about it, they just smile!). or when these friends no longer think of you when they’re outside, ask if you’ve already had lunch or breakfast or whatever.
and I even consider them family. they’re the only family that I got here and here’s how they treat me.
how sad. how sorry. how pathetic am i.
can’t do anything about it, I guess. people change.
so here I am, just numb.
