Interesting question. I walk around pretty much numb, but can plunge into sadness easily. When you say numb, do you mean that you don’t feel any emotion at all? If so, then I think numb is better than sad. You can function when numb. You can fake whatever emotion you need without others questioning you. But if you’re sad, you’re more likely to get teary-eyed or show it on your face. People can spot that easier which leads them to ask stupid questions like, “Are you OK?” No! I’m not OK!!! I wouldn’t be looking sad if I were OK!! Definitely numb is easier.
Usually when you have been sad for so long, if you hear bad news or something bad happens to u, all you feel is numb cause u cant be any sadder than u already are.
If I could choose, that would be great. I mean, after being numb for months it would be nice to feel something, even if it is just sadness. And then when I’ve had enough of the sadness I can switch to numbness again. Unfortunately it doesn’t work this way..

neither, they both get frustrating and cause annoyance. You can’t ever win :/
Would being either mean your living at all?
What does it even mean to live?
it’s better to be numb.
