The Experience of The Void and Loss of Mojo

Sometimes, for no apparent reason, individuals may experience a void-like feeling where their motivation and desire to create or say anything disappears. The internal dialogue becomes negative and existential, questioning the meaning of life and expressing frustration about being human. During these periods, individuals may also develop a strong aversion to ambitious and driven people, finding their message irritating. This experience is often accompanied by feelings of flatness, depression, and despair, as well as a sense of fog and malaise.
