👉 Dumminess is a concept in psychology and neuroscience that refers to an individual's emotional, cognitive, and behavioral responses to stress or adversity. It can be defined as a state of low level distress or confusion caused by perceived threats or problems, often leading to avoidance behaviors such as withdrawal from social interactions, reduced energy levels, and decreased motivation for tasks. The term is often used to describe individuals who are vulnerable or at risk due to their emotional responses to stressors.
