Question

What does the word cold inside mean figuratively and literally?

Answer 1

The literal meaning of the word "cold inside" is the physical feeling of coldness in the body due to low temperatures. For instance, during winter, a person without enough clothes to warm their body usually ends up feeling cold inside.

However, cold inside figuratively describes the lack of emotion towards a person, a situation or anything. Being sad or frightened are perfect examples of feeling cold inside.
