The good thing about being numb is that no one can hurt you, but the bad thing about being numb is that no one can love you.

About This Quote

The good thing about being numb is that no one can hurt you, but the bad thing about being numb is that no one can love you. Pain is very important. It keeps us alive and it helps us grow. However, pain itself is not particularly loving or satisfying.

The feeling of pain can be unpleasant. If we are not careful, however, it turns into something even worse: It becomes a trap. Sometimes, we may feel like someone’s words or actions are hurting us deeply.

We may cry out in protest or feel hopeless. But once we feel that pain, we often freeze up and do nothing about it. That pain can easily turn into a trap if we don’t fight back and do everything we can to get free of it.

It’s very important to find ways to deal with our emotions so they don’t turn into traps for us.
