The act of shaming someone for having emotions. Also known as emotional abuse. Never do this, just don't, especially parents and partners. Just because you don't feel doesn't mean you have to make others shameful of being human.
Person 1: my bf broke up with me!
Person 2: haha, you're so dramatic! Why don't you post some pity parties on twitter?
Person 1: hey, that's Emotion Shaming. I'm not your friend anymore.

Get the Emotion spasmmug. A phenomenon where a mainland Chinese person cries because mainland China is the only country in the world that bans the Tom Cruise movies "Top Gun" (1986) and "Top Gun 2: Maverick" (2022) when the same country is also the world's most populous country.
Mainland China, being the world's most populous country, is the only country in the world that bans the Tom Cruise movies "Top Gun" (1986) and "Top Gun 2: Maverick" (2022), hence causing a phenomenon known as "emotional cruise".

Most people who experience color deficiency, do not have issues with all color (red and green are most common). Color blindness can also come with heightened awareness in other areas...like better than average night vision or a keener sense of smell.
These details parallel well when describing people with emotional deficiencies, in that:
(1.) Someone on the spectrum for narcissistic traits, often still keenly feels rage, envy, hatred and fear.
(2.) Narcissists experience the above emotions more often and at greater intensity than the average person, BECAUSE they lack the ability to feel other emotions (like empathy) which might otherwise (ironically) diminish and balance those feelings out.
(3.) Even a full blown psychopath with no neurotypical fear response, (I.E. only feels an adrenaline rush) is not 100% emotionally colorblind. They still experience pleasure in a limited, ego driven sort of way. If this were not the case, they would have no motivation to do anything, (including anything bad.)
(4.) Total lack of emotional feeling and complete colorblindness, are both incredibly rare, and can signal something more serious...like a brain injury or a neurological condition.

I've never heard someone say they wish they were colorblind, but I've heard a ton of people say they wish they lacked certain feelings, because they think it would solve all their problems. This is kind of like thinking you could avoid getting stuck in traffic if you no longer saw the red in a red light. Emotion is not the heart of the problem.
Emotional color blindness might very well take away things like: codependence, trauma responses and making personal sacrifices for conscientious decisions...but it would also diminish your capacity for joy and your ability to have meaningful relationships with anybody.
Better to sort out the kinks, then throw the whole baby out with the bathwater.

Get the Emotion Playermug. A beverage, typically one that you drink for hydration but more for comfort. Hopefully, it will boost your serotonin enough to start/ get you through the day. The effectiveness also depends on whether it comes with a straw.
*me to myself after ordering my favorite emotional support beverage: a pistachio cream mint matcha* “This shit better fix my life”
Or
After a long day, the Dude proceeded to sip his emotional support bev, the vodka-cran. Instantly, he felt the weight of the day slip away…..
