Humans can’t do this yo
I’ll stay off the basis is if you kill off your emotions
Will you be satisfied?
Knowing the pain won over you?
Knowing you won’t get to feel the joy that comes with beating that pain
So many options ending it would be the worst
Genuinely if you want to talk lmk
You’ll have a great day love keep your head up
What we resist, persists
You can practice the philosophies of things like stoicism which takes time, or seek professional help. Both with be long journeys.
I recommend the professional help. I majored in philosophy and still needed help.
I was like you when I was 19, and I’m 24 and still on a journey now. But things are so, so much better.
You’re young — you have your entire life to find what works for you and what you need to manage.
Also maybe listen to meditations when you get this intense feeling of not wanting emotions. It doesn’t need to be guided or anything — it can be music you like. And just listen to it, and feel. Then try to center yourself that in the present moment truly nothing matters that much, and you’re okay and breathing and listening to music. And that in that moment you are okay. Then the next, and the next. And eventually you’re going to look back and see just how much better you’re doing.
I believe in you that you can work through it <3
You need to find a healthy outlet. We are human beings.. emotions are apart of us and it’s not something to just kill. It’s healthy even the chaos and pain of it – it’s how we grow, how we become aware, how we change
To get rid of it something I’m trying is to sit with it. I’m Muslim so what I typically do is make dua – supplicate to God.. I talk to God and it deeply eases my heart. But sometimes the emotions are very heavy and it just feels like I can’t have control over them.. in which sometimes instead of sitting I go to habits that don’t benefit me
Whether your following a religion or not the point I’m trying to make is take your heart to sources of peace
You have to ask yourself: “what am I running from?”. Emotions are painful especially if your dealing with something but that same pain can turn into inner healing but you have to allow it
Running from it, distracting yourself in bad avenues may soothe you in the moment but the reality is it only destroy you in the long run. Makes you more empty and the emotions increase more
Allow yourself to feel. Sit in it. Understand it. Cry, breathe, do what helps you! You need to let the emotions out. Analyze them, and be kind to yourself
Sis I promise you every challenge like this is to only make you grow. Inwardly God is trying to elevate you. Allow it

While I imagine you’re in a situation that can’t be altered or changed, It kinda depends on what the issue is on how you should go about handling it.
But, I remember desensitizing myself to a lot of stuff as a kid and a teen… part of it was my ego putting up a massive wall of defiance and desperation within myself. Like, I’d take things as a personal challenge and tests to see if I can be non-reactive and stoic.
It was kinda like a competition in a way; will this person/thing win and have control and reign over me, or will I be able to win by doing whatever it takes to display strength, confidence, and be devoid in wavering within how I present myself.
It worked because my desire to ‘win’ was stronger than the feelings the situation would cause. I would basically hyperfocus and hone in on the desire to be better than the other competitor… in reality, the other people and situations weren’t my competition, but still, I refused to lose in any way to them. 🤷♂️😅
It helped me with a lot of things, but now that I’m older, and in a better place, I have decided to try opening up and being free from the competition so to speak.
Anyway, being hyper competitive came naturally and I essentially learned how to dissociate on command and create emotional separation when ‘winning’ needed to be done no matter what, because fuck the world for trying to make me feel weak, or less, or broken, you know? I’ll be better than all of that.
Lmk if that helped at all.. it seriously might be off the mark from what you needed, and if it’s not your cup of tea, or if it doesn’t work for the situation you’re in, then come back and we can chat and try finding something that specifically suits your challenges. 😊❤️ good luck!!
Edit: Just know with anything like this, you get better and stronger at it over time as your brain grows and adjusts to the new way of handling issues. I would always advocate for healthier coping mechanisms though, I don’t think this is the right path to walk down in my experience.
