Borderline Personality Disorder tends to do this but in general, this numbness can be a symptom in a number of different pathologies. It can be experienced in everything from Depression to Schizophrenia so you MUST get it diagnosed by a professional for a true reason.
It can be called Detachment, Apathy, Disassociation… Many things.
I get minor periods of disassociation in times of stress and because of Borderline Personality Disorder, tend to have a sustained numbness which then can switch to anxiety or anger, etc.
Disassociation
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissociation
Symptoms of dissociation resulting from trauma may include depersonalization, psychological numbing, disengagement, or amnesia regarding the events of the abuse. It has been hypothesized that dissociation may provide a temporarily effective defense mechanism in cases of severe trauma; however, in the long term, dissociation is associated with decreased psychological functioning and adjustment.[24] Other symptoms sometimes found along with dissociation in victims of traumatic abuse (often referred to as “sequelae to abuse”) include anxiety, PTSD, low self-esteem, somatization, depression, chronic pain, interpersonal dysfunction, substance abuse, self-mutilation and suicidal ideation or actions.[23][24][28] These symptoms may lead the victim to erroneously present the symptoms as the source of the problem.[23]
