Has anyone felt 'numb' with a broken heart?

Yesterday, a girl I really liked broke my heart. Utterly obliterated it. We met in the past, we talked, we went out one day, then she began writing me weird messages (in which she said that she had no time to be friends) and then said she enjoyed talking to me and we were friends, then got drunk and accused me of knowing where her house was and asked me why I was even in the area (I do indeed pass by because she lives right between me and the nearest grocery store, and she told me where her house was twice, right before she asked where mine was), and then told me she was uncomfortable, that I followed her around, that she didn't want to be close because of some past event and then spent time hugging someone in front of me, that she only wanted to talk about swimming, and that we would never be best friends, and a whole bunch of other extremely cruel things.
Usually after a breakup I spend days crying my eyes out. This time, I just felt nothing. If anything, I felt more relieved than hurt.
Has anyone experienced this sort of weird reaction to a breakup before?

What kind of relationship was it if you don’t mind me asking? It seems to me like you guys were just friends?

No need to worry, mate. I was in the same boat once. We get hurt, we feel pain, we cry, we rise and we shine again as we are men. Absorb the heat now and the fire won't catch you next time.

No such thing as heartbreaks, it's just a self created simulation because you have been fed this over and over through films and series, you must acknowledge this to ESCAPE THE MATRIX.
