4 Emotions That Many of Us Know But Cannot Name
You might not find these emotions as strange as their names do!
Our feelings are what make us human. Every situation in our lives tends to evoke an emotion in us. Whether they are positive or negative, sometimes our experiences make us feel in unexpected ways.
We don’t always feel the same when we experience the feelings we define. For instance, Even if you feel alone, loneliness can manifest itself in a variety of ways depending on the circumstance. Do you feel lonely because no one is around you, or do you feel lonely despite their presence?
So let’s look at a few of these unnamed emotions. Since you probably share these feelings but are unable to put them into words.
Kenopsia
Kenopsia is the feeling that can occur when a familiar crowded location is visited in an abandoned state.
Although it is seen as a very unusual mood, it is a common condition in older people, but it can also see in young individuals.
Moreover, one does not necessarily have to go to those places when they are active to experience this feeling. For example, I may enter into the same sad mood even just by thinking about what happened there.
One of the best visual examples is Disney animated movie ‘Anastasia’ and the mood she lived during her visit.⬇️
Sonder
Sonder is a feeling that other people have lives just as vibrant and complex as ours.
I experience this feeling in different ways. Sometimes knowing other people are just as valuable as I am, I realize how insignificant, worthless, and ordinary I am. However, awareness is always good.
On the other hand, it’s comforting to know that I’m not alone when I feel the world’s weight on my shoulders.
In addition, I believe we should reach this awareness as a society. Social peace cannot be achieved, because of those who think they are in the center of the world.

Exulansis
Exulansis is a tendency to stop trying to talk about an experience if other people cannot relate to it.
You are speaking, and the other person cannot comprehend it, does not know and/or does not understand it, and maybe you do not get the reaction you want. In the end, you realize that you can’t get through what you’re trying to tell the other person, and because of this situation, you give up on telling the subject.
Adronitis
Adronitis is getting frustrated thinking about how long it would take to get to know someone well enough.
I recognized I avoid letting someone new into my life because I don’t believe I can know the person enough, and our relationship will be superficial. I know escaping being friendship is not healthy. I do nothing about it for now, but I will work on it.
Meet, be friends, share a lot of stuff, and then face to face something, and realised that you’ve never known that person. It is a subconscious defense of escaping this kind of bad experience, and If this triggered you, then you feel adronitis, too.
