Showing signs of harm
Damaged describes something that has been harmed, impaired, or made less valuable or effective.
Physical objects suffer damage: The storm damaged the roof.
Reputation, relationships, and credibility can also be damaged.
Informally, calling a person damaged suggests they carry psychological wounds from past trauma: She's too damaged to trust anyone.
