Remember when things used to make you feel something and now it barely registers? You probably haven’t changed, but the noise around you has.
Your brain protects you from too much input through desensitization. When constant shock becomes routine, your nervous system learns to mute the volume not because it’s indifferent, but because it’s overwhelmed.
That dull feel isn’t a loss of empathy. It’s your mind catching its breath.
Step back. Choose to give your focus to what matters to you, not what demands from you.
