Satedness

Satedness is the state of being completely satisfied, often relating to the fulfillment of a physical or emotional desire, such as hunger, thirst, or a craving. It signifies the point where one has consumed or experienced something to its fullest extent, leaving no further desire or need for more. This feeling of fulfillment often brings a sense of contentment, tranquility, and sometimes even a slight lethargy. It's the opposite of craving or yearning and is often associated with a sense of completion and peace derived from a sense of having "had enough". The intensity of Satedness can vary, from a mild sense of satisfaction to an overwhelming feeling of contentment. The experience of Satedness can also be quickly disrupted by the appearance of other needs or desires.
