强钝感

• Pinyin: qiáng dùn gǎn
• Hanzi breakdown: 强 means strong; 钝感 means reduced sensitivity to emotional friction.

Meaning

A strong ability not to overreact to small emotional signals or minor negativity.

强钝感 is usually positive: someone does not spiral over one cold reply, awkward glance, or minor criticism. It suggests resilience and emotional buffering, not ignorance of serious problems.
