How can I feel emotions?!
Question: How can I feel emotions?
Anyone got any advice?
Honestly, I wouldn't care if it wasn't for me trying to become an actor.
Do you know how impossible it is to act if you can't cry, make yourself laugh, or even feel angry? It's damn near impossible. Someone help me out here please.

Hi, I have been an emotionally numb person for a lot of my life. I have become so in control of my emotions that i have to invoke them to feel unless it is a major anchor in my life that whatever the situation i am in triggers. There is nothing wrong with not feeling if that is who you are.
If you want to start feeling again or become the actor you wish to be then start acting with yourself. I teach people how to control their emotions, perhaps this technique could help you feel.
I promote that when someone is feeling an uncomfortable emotion they can change it by focusing on an event that makes them laugh uncontrollably. Something from the past that does make them laugh. I suggest finding five things from the past that make you feel love - is it the birth of a child, playing with a parent when you were little, saying something funny where many people have laughed with you etc. You must have something there in your memories.
Not many people can honesty say they have been numb for a lifetime. It doesn't go unnoticed for too long.
Perhaps if you really struggle to feel then you are too comfortable with your everyday life. I would recommend going out and doing something completely out of character, live dangerously - within the law of course.

it depends on how long you have been in this situation. it should take a hour or a day..and then you return to normal. but I dont have any advise if you were always like that.
