Emotional Flatliner

Someone who shows no emotional response to anything, no matter how poignant or stirring. They’re either so repressed that nothing gets through their emotional firewall, or so disconnected from their feelings that even a child’s laugh, a heartfelt poem, a soulful song, or a breathtaking view leaves them completely unmoved. Picture a human equivalent of a flatline on an emotional EKG—zero reaction, just a blank stare.
"I played her my favorite song, the one that makes everyone cry, and she just shrugged—total Emotional Flatliner."

Flatlining

Seeking out death or just embarrassment... Either recklessly or purposefully.
"Oh No! This dude is flatlining. Ignore him."

Becky-, "This guy is hitting on me pretty hard. Should I give him my number?
Kelly-, "He might just be flatlining. Ask him what you told him your name was."
