A state of disillusionment and sadness. You see through everything and have no illusions about what is true. So many negative things have happened that it becomes difficult to stay positive about what once gave you hope and joy. Sometimes you might think there's hope, but then more negative things happen in the aspect you are jaded in, and you become more jaded. This can be felt in many different aspects: Love, friendship,
politics,
trust, music, objects, etc.
Actions,
people, places and things can all leave you jaded.
"She tried so hard but always failed in his eyes. She became jaded and stopped caring about him, but now she has no attraction to anyone else either once they get close to her or even attempt to."
or "She's SO jaded that she
will never fall in love again. She can't, she sees through everyone and their intentions. Even her best friend wasn't there for her when she needed her most. Now she has no faith in anyone
as a friend, how could she? No one has ever been there for her like she would be and has been for them."
or "She's jaded and alone, but she'll be
fine, b/c she doesn't need anyone. Not for more than the basic necessities. She doesn't
trust anyone with her heart anymore and is highly cautious of letting anyone in."
Or "She thought there would be a good candidate for once in the
2012 elections, but the primaries were rigged and she became jaded with the whole political charade"
or "She kept on buying headphones b/c one earbud would always give out. She began to expect it and figured it would always happen. She became jaded with cheap headphones. She bought a $20 pair that still
work to this
day, she
will never
get cheap ones again. And if she does, she knows what to expect" (lol)
