How it's used

Describes a specific psychological state of feeling let down or hollow after a significant event ends or a goal is achieved. It is often used to describe the post-event blues, such as after a long-awaited concert or a major project concludes. Unlike simple sadness, it carries a nuance of missing something that was previously present.

Common mistake

Avoid using this to describe simple sadness or disappointment, as it specifically refers to the feeling of loss or a void left behind. It is a noun phrase, so it usually follows verbs like 覺得 or 產生.
