Dullness refers to the lack of sharpness or excitement in either mental or physical attributes. It can describe a deficiency in liveliness, vividness, or keen perception. In mental contexts, it may denote a state of boredom or the lack of interest in one’s surroundings, and in physical contexts, it can refer to a lack of sharpness in an object or the lack of brightness in colors or sounds. Dullness impacts various aspects of life, making experiences less engaging and more tedious.
