When a person loses even the strength to be angry, that is true despair. Like the last withered leaf in winter, even though it still hangs on the branch, it has long lost the vibration of life. This state is even more terrifying than Hestily, it is not the tranquility before the storm, but the dryness in the desert that never rains.

1. physiological manifestations of emotional freezing
1. Changes in hormone levels
Long term emotional suppression can lead to sustained high cortisol levels, while dopamine and serotonin levels decrease. This hormonal imbalance can make people lose the ability to experience happiness, just like the body automatically switches on an emotional energy-saving mode.
2. Micro expressions disappear
Truly heartbroken people are too lazy to even fake a smile. Facial muscle activity decreases, eyes lose focus, and the whole person presents a mechanical hollow state.
3. Pain dullness
Research has found that long-term emotional suppression can lead to a decrease in the brain's sensitivity to physical pain. This explains why some people can exhibit abnormal calmness after emotional trauma.
2. Change in behavior patterns
1. Social disconnection
No longer shares life details, and social dynamics stop updating. Not deliberately avoiding, but truly feeling that 'there's nothing to say'. This silence is more conclusive than black deletion.
2. Decision simplification
Not even thinking about what to eat for breakfast makes major life choices exceptionally decisive. Because the emotional account has been reset to zero, any decision no longer requires emotional auditing.
3. Memory screening
The brain automatically fades out the details of relevant memories, just like mosaic painting old photos. It's not intentional forgetting, but the self-protection mechanism of the nervous system is in operation.
3. Reconstruction of psychological defense mechanisms
1. Emotional detachment
has developed The ability to separate emotions from objects, to objectively narrate experiences without any emotional fluctuations. This state is similar to a psychological 'painlessness'.
2. Expectation Management
No longer holds expectations for anyone or anything, permanently lowering psychological expectations to the lowest level. It's like giving yourself an emotional vaccine in advance, but the side effect is that you can no longer feel the surprise.
3. Self objectification
begins to view oneself from a third-party perspective, turning life into a to-do list. This highly functional state essentially puts the mind into a bulletproof glass cover. When a person goes through this stage, either they are reborn as a more resilient version of themselves, or they remain in an emotional hibernation state forever. It is worth considering whether we often misinterpret others' silence as compromise, but cannot understand the despair that is stingy even with hatred. Perhaps in a relationship, timely emotional recovery is more important than romantic promises.
