You’ve Lost Interest in Everything: When Nothing Feels Like “You” Anymore
For some people, silence is worse than sadness some days.

You look at your phone a lot, miss calls and forget about plans, and you wonder why the things that used to make you feel alive don’t make you feel alive anymore.

You don’t feel anything from the songs you loved. It’s hard to spend time with friends. It’s not fun to enjoy small things like your favourite coffee or movie nights. You just don’t want to enjoy them. You can’t do it.

One of the main signs of sadness is this loss of interest, which is also known as anhedonia.

Why Is This Happening to Me?

Your brain may have trouble processing motivation, connection, or pleasure when you’re depressed. Even once-comfortable or joyful activities can seem pointless.

This is a serious mental health issue, not a sign of indolence or a lack of willpower. And in high-stress situations like Mumbai, a lot of people keep this feeling to themselves for months or even years, thinking it’s a natural part of “adulting.”

However, it is not typical to lose interest in everything. Furthermore, it is temporary.

Common Signs You’re Experiencing Emotional Numbness or Anhedonia

You stop replying to texts, not because you don’t care, but because you’re too tired to do so.

2. Passions and hobbies seem like long-lost memories.

3. Big events or achievements feel like they don’t mean much.

4. You break plans with friends because it’s too hard to act like everything is fine.

5. You don’t feel emotionally linked to other people, to life, or even to yourself sometimes.
