Emotions are gross. "Not sad'
tazednconfused
Do you ever wonder why sonder is the first one ever explained in these types of posts?

I feel like even in the languages where these words come from they can't possibly come up in conversation that often.
Ireallycantthinkofanythingbetterrightnow
can confirm for the german ones, never heard any of them before
notdahangoverguy
What would you call a feeling of seeing a post on imgur so many times?
AStegosaurus
Or the feeling of knowing that most of these are not real words.
Defylightwithdarkness
Ok, there is creativity for the invented words (soft spot for German here), but the definitions are obscure bullshit.

Liberosis times infinity please.

Kinda looks like you're explaining it, so myth busted!

Phht. I have all these while in the shower. Then I get out and my cat it on the sink and I think "Suzie!" and all that bad shit is gone.

As soon as I finished reading this, I exhibited all of them. Thanks for that.
ItsAGameOfSchlongs
Well, deja vu only happens when they change something
TrepidJaguar
Agreed
ItsAGameOfSchlongs
You know who im talking about
EveryonesRaping
the fact that sonder is meaningful to us is proof that most of us "objectify" others constantly.
SemperServiam
Always liked hiraeth - longing for a home you can never go back to. No direct translation from Welsh. Real word, too :)
Shohanna
I know that feeling, intimately. :(
SemperServiam
It is a hard one to suffer. :(
YZeason
These are not real words btw. They are made up. Not science.

The *word* attached to *the thing* that you *feel/think*
confirmsthings
Are these actual words or is Tumblr just spewing out made up shit again?
azrailthedeathangel
Actually these are all from a site in which the goal was to make up a word that just felt right for the feeling
SaiikoTA
*mad, taking that upvote I gave to OP and giving it to you*
zombiroboto
So, the opposite of science...?
azrailthedeathangel
Yep
Meirril
But, none of these are emotions. Emotions can be triggered by stimuli but emotions are not dependent on specific stimuli.
azrailthedeathangel
Thats why i said feeling.

Oxford Dictionary here: WTF!?
TrepidJaguar
Made up words, just a little project that was done.
IFuWEREwRONg
Thanks for this. Mauerbauertraurigkeit made me remember the band Closure in Moscow. And that I push everyone I know away.
JhericFury
Fun fact: Sonder has been known to give me panic attacks.
BewilderedBeaver
Non of these exist even in the languages they came from.
RydWolf
23 emotions people feel but can't explain. Proceeds to explain each and every one of them.
TrepidJaguar
Step outside your box baby
arek314
It looks like something Tumblr would make up.Like that time they did dozens of sexual orientations with stuff like"sometimes I'm horny but
arek314
I have sex only with people I know and trust".

What about Anecdouche?
OurLadyBabalon
What about "Whineydouche"... The internal echo, finding fault with random comments.
OopsAllEgg
That's a person who persistently shares unwanted stories
N0Juan
Read that as Acnedouche...
OurLadyBabalon
Known in cartoons as "Acmedouche".
causeyourepretty
Which is?
DreadZeppelin
A guy who won't stop trying to top your story or has to have the last word. (spread the word - pun intended)

You just explained it, bro!

You just played yourself
TrepidJaguar
... congratulations
Crapidapity
You didn’t even explain this, it’s a repost, but i’ve had trouble finding it. Thank you much!
TrepidJaguar
The link is there now
TrepidJaguar
You’re welcome
VVulf
Yep. A more accurate title would be "Emotions people feel, but lack the vocabulary to express - UNTIL NOW".
zamielvanweber
Given that the dude invented the words specifically to do exactly that: that would be the perfect title for any of the times this pops up.
VVulf
Indeed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dictionary_of_Obscure_Sorrows

I feel compelled to point out these are not real words. Google Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows.

Of course they aren't, but at the same time, miriam-webster has been accepting a bunch of colloquialisms with less personal meaning
apatchworkquilt
Languages evolve, people make up new words, see Shakespeare and Carroll
ImUglyIRL
They also have a selection of videos posted on youtube from the creator. My personal favorite: https://youtu.be/Kcjfi8oNQY8

Mauerbauertraurigkeit fooled me until this comment. German for "wall building sorrow" and stringing a lot of words together is very german
Cyrrex
you mean tu zay, zat Altschmerz is not a real word? you schweinhund!
ReginaMare
Strictly speaking, all words are made up. like the words Shakespeare made up, it just takes time for them to assimilate into the vernacular.
oxbloodoxfords
I was under the impression that these are words that do not exist in English but exist in other languages.
N0Juan
Either way, when I read Kenopsia, I couldn't help but think of The Rains of Castamere.
hermes701
They look pretty real to me, got letters, roots and everything.
ThirdPartyCanditate
Can I also point out that the german ones ARE REAL?

I think the concept of real and not real words is in itself a little flawed
BewilderedBeaver
Real words are used for the sake of communication. Not real words are exclusively used for the sake of using these particular words.
Meirril
You say words to convey meaning. Creating new words without giving proper context is self defeating.
HisDudness
This quizzabuck is a Duketastrophy.
JifLover
Real words have origins, they're not flatly made up because they sound nice.
RhymingEverything
Unless you're Shakespeare
crimsondog
IIRC he actually uses other words as basis for his neologisms, so they have roots. Either way, i've used some of these in the past, so they>
crimsondog
