Stultifying definition: preventing new ideas from developing
When something stultifies you, it drains you of your energy, enthusiasm, or pleasure.
A well-acted Shakespeare play can be a thrill. A poorly acted one can stultify like nothing else.
The verb stultify is sometimes used in place of "bore" or "exhaust," but only if something is so boring or exhausting that it makes you feel as though you might just die. It's a very negative word.
If you're in a relationship that's stultifying, you should find a way out.
Relationships should make you feel more alive, not less.
Constant construction noise can have a stultifying effect, leaving a person almost unable to function.
“It is a symptom of America’s stultifying news media. Pundits are so used to having their views echoed back to them in interviews — or only challenged by people who don’t know what they are talking about — that they can’t handle a robust interrogation.”
