I’ve always loved the word “sonder”. Knowing that people have their own lives and thoughts and usually they aren’t centered on you at all is liberating. I wish I had run across this as a kid, to realize that the peer pressure I thought was there giving me anxiety was totally self-inflicted and I could just be myself.

That’s the case for you. My friends started talking amongst themselves about how jobless I am
To be fair you ARE the worlds dumbest man soo…
That’s a cool concept, but a made up word.
Language evolves, sure. But making up words is like genetically engineering a third leg or something.
…you do realize that all words are made up, right?
IIRC this particular word emerged in a blog post published explicitly to propose a bunch of new words.
So yes I do realise that all words have an etymology, but most were not created in the course of self aggrandizement.
But I mean like… so what?
There was a need/desire for a word describing this concept, it was created, and is now used. It’s a new word
Counter point: I don’t give a shit. Live life, rock n roll, sonder on, and fuck the police.
