Listitems I have felt at least once before finding this: 7/8 Listitems I have known the name of before finding this: 0/8

How about you?

Also… what’s the feeling called when reading something, thinking ‘that sounds totally made up’ - then doing a quick google and realizing its actually a thing?

    I’m Austrian, German is my mother language. So I got a good idea what it means :)

    I’d interpret it that the person builds walls and then is sad about it afterwards because it pushes people away. Which happens often, you’re not in the mood to hang out with friends, you don’t like making plans, you’re annoyed… and at some point they won’t invite you again. Then you’re sad about being lonely.

      I’m German, too. From Germany.

      And I disagree with your interpretation regarding cause and effect. First the sadness exists - you can also call it social burnout or depression. Second the feeling of being drained causes you to cancel stuff, for reasons you make up - causing you to be even more depressed in the long term. A feedback loop.

      We’re talking about two different things. Both fit the definition above.
