正式确诊为“淡人”，网友：累了，我只想淡淡地活着……

在这届年轻人确诊“淡淡综合征”之前，主打的是“发疯”的状态。那么，从“发疯”到“一切都淡淡的”，究竟是什么促成了这一转变？

Before this generation diagnosed themselves as "souls of serene", the prevalent state was more one of "agitated frenzy." So what sparked this shift from "frenetic overwhelm" to "embracing unperturbed serenity?"

这部分“淡人”，可能是属于安静型的高级神经活动类型，即拥有高强度、均衡、不灵活的神经活动。由于神经过程的不灵活性，这样的个体通常不能立刻根据外部变化而做出敏锐的反应，甚至如果变化太快，他们会很难适应。也因此，他们总显得迟缓，却很坚韧。

For some people, they seemed innately composed towards life's matters from a young age. a high-intensity but balanced, steady neural activity type. Due to this neural equilibrium, they tend not to react impulsively to external changes, instead adjusting gradually with persistent calm.

▌无助淡

也许，现在对什么都无所谓的你，曾经历过梦想的一次次破灭。在面临不可控情境时，形成努力也没用的不可控认知，继而导致放弃，这正是习得性无助的状态。

For those now indifferent to everything, it may stem from dreams repeatedly shattered. Facing uncontrollable situations bred the belief that effort is futile, leading to a sense of learned helplessness.

习得性无助很容易导致抑郁。这里的抑郁，不仅仅指持续一段时间的普通的抑郁情绪，也包括更严重的抑郁症状。

习得性无助有两种：

普遍无助（universal helplessness）：面对某个情况时，觉得自己无能为力，而且换谁来都一样；

个人无助（personal helplessness）：同样觉得无能为力，但认为这是因为自己很差劲，换别人说不定就成功了。

这种因为无助感而被迫变淡的“淡人”，是“淡人”中最需要警惕起来的一类人。要积极调整心态，请求心理专业人士的帮助。

Learned helplessness hypothesis refers to the uncontrollable perception that efforts are useless when faced with uncontrollable situations, which then leads to giving up. It includes universal helplessness and personal helplessness, which can easily lead to depression.

Some unperturbed souls aren't tuning out life itself. They too crave living fully and courageously. But constant emotional frenzies bring draining ups and downs — an exhausting inner turmoil.  

淡淡的，对一切都释然，也就不再有内耗的烦恼。年轻一代更加注重边界感与个人空间，对经验的认知和整合，让平和的“淡人”们在内心建筑起了一套自我秩序。

他们淡淡地面对世界，是因为这套秩序正为他们的内心世界提供浓烈的能量。
