Lately I've found myself thinking about the situations I find myself in. We all have had a period of time when we felt "dead inside", that is, depressed and insensitive to what was happening around us. When we consider the autonomy of the individual; We are talking about people who can make choices in harmony with their inner voice, independent of external factors, that is, norms and morals, and who have developed a consistent identity as a result, in other words, who have the power at their core. When Brené Brown says, "We are the authors of our own lives, we write our own daring endings", doesn't she indicate that we are the creators of all the situations we find ourselves in? This brings to my mind another question. If a person's conscious determination is decisive in performing any action, can we call the situation we call dead inside, the process of unresponsive and introverted alienation in which we isolate ourselves from society and our immediate environment, selective indifference? So what is selective indifference? It is a state of knowingly remaining indifferent to events, that is, choosing not to feel. In many stages of our daily lives, we encounter indifference to love, indifference to care, indifference to violence, and indifference to events and experiences. I think the scariest thing is that people are indifferent to their own wishes, needs, inner world and happiness. Not recognizing one's emotions and not owning them prevents one from establishing a connection with oneself. Alienation means internal numbness and, more frighteningly, "apatheia; Latin impassibilitas", which means losing one's sense of meaning. If we lose this feeling, our feelings of loneliness, emptiness and nothingness increase along with it.
Indifference and lack of emotion are defense for someone whose "comfort zone", that is, their safe space, is threatened, a coping method to overcome anxiety.

Indifference and numbness are the destructive aftershocks of relationships and the future. Isn't alienation and exhaustion very natural in a world where many things are easily experienced without effort? When looking at romantic relationships, it is very common to ignore the needs and desires of the other party for fear of being overwhelmed, not to communicate adequately, and to let everything go, in short, not showing interest.
Ca Proudness is seen where there are people who can establish relationships with their environment, try to make a difference in the world, and are affected and excited by what is happening around them. Individuals who embrace, comprehend and share humans and everything related to humans emerge here.
So what we call "dead inside" is not actually a mood disorder, but a selective state of indifference that we have a choice to change. It's in your hands...
