"Shatter" is a term that generally refers to the act of breaking something into many pieces. This can apply to various materials, such as glass or ceramics, which can fracture and scatter when subjected to force. The process of shattering often results in sharp edges and small fragments, making it potentially dangerous. In a broader context, "Shatter" can also refer to a psychological state where a person feels overwhelmed or broken due to stress or trauma. This emotional shattering can lead to feelings of despair and difficulty in coping with everyday life, requiring support and healing to recover.
