from the movie Lucky Number Slevin, what does this mean?
Great movie by the way, but josh hartnett says that he has anorexia - he doesn't feel worried.
Does this even exist because I can't seem to find the definition for it, except for that anorexia means to be skinny, etc which is what I already know.
Nooo, I meant in the movie he defines his "anorexia" as "not able to worry about anything".. if you've seen the movie you should know what I'm talking about...
so my question is:.. does this different type of "anorexia" exist or was it just made up for the movie because i can't seem to find that definition anywhere??

He didn't say anorexia. He said ataraxia. It is a Greek term for freedom from worry or any other preoccupation.

Slevin: I have ataraxia.
Lindsey: Ataraxia?
Slevin: It's a condition characterized by freedom from worry or any other pre-occupation really.

It means he has no regrets. Some people feel they made the wrong choice in life. Not the guy who said that.

It is when someone has an unrealistic fear of becoming overweight. They essentially starve themselves so they won't gain weight.

ANOREXIA: loss of appetite especially when prolonged
So he used the phrase right.
