13 Emotions Only Overthinkers Can Understand
By Marisa Donnelly
1. Ambedo
Completely losing yourself in this zenned-out trance where you notice all the little details you often overlook. For example, being transfixed by cars on a highway from your apartment window, or watching a hummingbird’s wings flap wildly and losing all sense of place and time.
2. Avenoir
Wishing that you could see the memories you would have with someone before you actually have them. Like looking backwards through a photo album with your future lover, realizing that yes, you did make it to forever, and yes, you did have so much fun — all before the two of you have even kissed.
3. Monachopsis
Feeling out of place. Being in the corner of a coffee shop, watching people mill about and feeling subtly, but terribly alone.
4. Exulansis
When you just quit talking about something because the people around you don’t get it, or when you give up trying to understand something because a definition simply doesn’t exist. Exactly this: searching for the right words for the emotions you feel but can’t really explain.
