It’s sort of on the tip of my tongue, and it’s been bothering me all week. I don’t know how to describe it, but it’s that . . . thing, you know? When you feel that way? Or maybe it’s more the absence of a feeling. But it’s definitely there. Or times when – you know – that happens. Then it’s all over the place.
Anhedonia? The absence of happiness in situations where it would be the normal reaction? (Fun fact: Woody Allen named his character and film Annie Hall because it’s phonetically similar to the word anhedonia, which is what pretty much defines Alvy Singer in that film.)
