feelingruins

feelingruins is a term that describes a specific emotional or psychological state characterized by a sense of desolation, emptiness, and a feeling of having been profoundly damaged or diminished. It often implies a past experience that has led to this state, leaving the individual feeling like a "ruin" of their former self. This can manifest as a loss of vitality, joy, or purpose, and may be accompanied by persistent sadness, apathy, or a feeling of being broken. The term suggests a deep-seated internal decay, where positive aspects of the self have been eroded or destroyed. It is not a clinical diagnosis but rather a descriptive phrase used in informal contexts to convey a profound sense of inner devastation. The experience can be isolating, as the individual may feel unable to connect with others or engage with life in a meaningful way. The "ruins" are not necessarily visible externally but represent an internal landscape that has been significantly altered by hardship or trauma.
