Soulsnap

Definition: That nanosecond when someone reveals such profoundly awful behavior that every ounce of affection you had for them vaporizes. Like flipping a kill switch on your heart after discovering they secretly photograph feet or nearly reverse over you for drunk-driving lols.

The emotional whiplash leaves zero residue—just cold, clean detachment. Named for how your soul snaps shut like a bear trap, permanently locking them out. Grandpa-accusers and hamster-murderers are classic soulsnap triggers. No refunds on dumped trash humans.

Example:

My soulsnap was instant when I found videos of him gleefully tormenting his sister’s cat; every shred of fondness evaporated in that moment.

Hearing him casually brag about scamming elderly clients triggered my soulsnap; the warmth vanished, replaced by icy, permanent detachment from my own cousin.
