When you have your thumb facing up on the couch trying to hit a bullseye on your wife's backdoor as she sits down and misses the hole and jams it bad.

The chaotic, impulsive act of unloading one’s entire emotional filing cabinet via text message using only thumbs, zero filters, and the misguided belief that autocorrect is a qualified therapist.
Thumb Dumping happens when you sit down to send a quick text and instead accidentally release your entire inner monologue.
Thoughts sprint out.
Emotions pile up.
Context packs its bags and leaves. Paragraphs die.
The thumbs take control and type faster than the brain can yell, “Abort mission.”
It’s silent chaos. You look calm. Maybe you’re sitting. Meanwhile, internally, you’re starring in a one-person off-Broadway production called Everything I’ve Ever Felt and Why It’s Your Problem Now.
Symptoms include:
• “Sorry for the novel…” (it’s a trilogy with footnotes)
• Wild oversharing followed by immediate phone-face-down shame
• “Does that make sense?” asked like a hostage negotiator
• Instant clarity the moment the text sends
Usage:
“I didn’t mean to emotionally unload at 11:47 p.m., but I thumb-dumped and now I need to move.”
Medical opinion:
Not a flaw. A design failure. Humans were never meant to have thumbs and feelings and unlimited texting.
Recovery time:
Anywhere from “lol” to several fiscal quarters.
In summary:
Thumb Dumping is what happens when your dignity clocks out and your thumbs unionize.
