Emotional Stupidity

Not a greeting in communication or lack thereof

Communication is an integral part of human life. It allows you not only to keep in touch with other people, but also to develop thinking, social skills and be more tolerant of others. However, sometimes people are faced with the problem of lack of interest in the interlocutor or the dialogue in general. The reasons for the lack of motivation to communicate can be different, for example, a lack of interest in the subject of conversation, switching attention to other thoughts, or even a lack of desire to listen to another point of view.

And if this behavior becomes constant, then there is a risk of forming a deep emotional emptiness. A person who exhibits emotional indifference may have difficulty perceiving and communicating their thoughts and feelings, as well as exhibit a decrease in their level of social activity. One possible explanation for this phenomenon is that the person is simply not interested in the dialogue or the topic being discussed. Therefore, lack of reactions or passivity may indicate the same thing. What to do about this behavior depends on the circumstances. It may be worth maintaining a dialogue and trying to find out the reason for this condition from your interlocutor in order to help him. However, this can be more difficult when it comes to people with more complex forms of mental illness, such as schizophrenia, depression or anxiety disorders.
