    Kim Kardashian is she's been "turning into a full robot" with "no emotion"

    Kim Kardashian opens up about the impact of her 2016 Paris robbery on her emotional state and her journey to reconnect with her feelings.


    The 43-year-old beauty was robbed at gunpoint in Paris in 2016 and the trauma has left her "frozen" in knowing that staying cool saved her from being seriously hurt during the terrifying ordeal, so she wants to work through what happened with her therapist before she stops being able to express herself. Speaking on the latest episode of 'The Kardashians', Kim - who has four children with ex-husband Kanye West - told her sister Khloe Kardashian: "[My therapist] was like, 'You think calm is your superpower. I think you are so desensitised from trauma that you literally are frozen in fight or flight.' "So then she was like, 'One time in life something happened, and you remained calm, and that worked for you. So you will always choose calm.'" The Good American founder then insisted it didn't take a "detective" to realise it was the Paris robbery that had had such an impact on her sister's behaviour. Khloe, 40, replied: "You weren't calm before. Kim, you were a lunatic. You became calm. "You were never calm as a teenager, in your 20s. You cried about everything. You were bratty. You threw tantrums. Everything stopped after you got robbed, because you stayed calm in that situation and you even said, 'My calmness is what kept me alive.' "That's when it started. It doesn't take a f****** detective to figure that one out." In a confessional, Kim admitted she was worried people would "take advantage" of her calm nature. She said: "I mean, imagine you're like, gun to your head, getting tied up, dragged across a hotel room, and the guy, I remember him telling me, 'Just like, stay calm and you'll live.' And I did that. "[It] served me well at that time, and I think it saved my life. "But I think I've let it get too calm to where people could take advantage of my calmness or I'm just turning into a full robot with like, no emotion." Kim previously told of her fear that the robbers - who stole millions of dollars worth of jewellery - would shoot her in the back. She said on 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians': "They ask for money. I said I don't have any money. "They dragged me out onto the hallway on top of the stairs. That's when I saw the gun clear, like clear as day. I was kind of looking at the gun, looking down back at the stairs. "I was like; 'I have a split second in my mind to make this quick decision. Am I going to run down the stairs and either be shot in the back? It makes me so upset to think about it. Either they're going to shoot me in the back, or if I make it and they don't, if the elevator does not open in time, or the stairs are locked, then, like, I'm f*****. There's no way out."
