    They competitively numbed themselves with gore/torture treats to try to impress other numbed people and are shocked that being emotionally numb makes them repulsive. surprised-pika

      Emotional numbness isn’t repulsive in itself, disregard for others is. People can feel emotions less intensely than others or lack emotional empathy(feeling what others feel) but still make friends through genuinely putting effort.

        It’s repulsive as a coercive competition between hateful nihilistic 4chan fascists. It’s a contagious way to wreck people’s social lives needlessly by peer pressure and false promises.

        Being numb by other means or just as a default isn’t the same thing as being numb because edgy internet nazis say it’s cool to do that.
