Updated: Aug 13, 2021

A little disclaimer: This was all made by Psych2Go. The blog entry is inspired by this channel. We want simply to make the best out of everyday and give you the spirit to do the same with this entry. If you want to watch the full video of it, the link with the video is at the end. Let’s get started…

Humans have the amazing ability to feel emotions. That are so profound and complex that we sometimes have a hard time expressing them through our language and other means of communication. It can be frustrating when you feel something you can’t quite understand or explain. This is why the brilliant writer John Koenig penned and put together the compendium of all of the most complicated and indescribable feelings you may not even know you are experiencing. With that said listed here are the twelve most common emotions you might feel but can’t explain.

#1 Sonder:

Sonder is defined as the sudden realization that you can never completely know a person. It’s when you start to understand that everyone around you has their own story that you might never get to know about. You realize that you only get to know as much about a person as they’ll allow you to.

#2 Hanker Sore:

This is an emotion most of us wouldn’t want to admit to feeling. But Hanker Sore refers to the phenomenon of finding someone so attractive that it makes you feel angry at them for some reason. It differs from jealousy in the sense that it’s subtler and more subconscious. When you feel Hanker Sore, you don’t feel explicitly hostile or envious towards the person. But deep down you can’t help but feel upset at their random stroke of luck for winning the genetic lottery.

#3 Lachesism:

Have you ever felt the sudden desire to have something bad happen to you? For no reason. Well that feeling is what we call Lachesism. It’s that deep dark impulse most of us have to be struck by tragedy and come out at the other side. It’s born out of our innate desire for challenges and growth. Which push us to test the bounds of our courage and resilience.

#4 Ellipsism:

Ellipsism, as the feeling that people often misinterpret as curiosity or inquisitiveness. But really it refers to a desire to understand the world and to know what will happen in the future. This is something most scientists, scholars, artists, and inventors can probably relate to. As many of them have a hard time coming into terms with the fact that they might never get to see how history will turn out. How they will be remembered or what legacy they may leave behind.

#5 Mauerbauer Traurigkeit:

Mauerbauer Traurigkeit is defined as the sudden feeling of wanting to push people away and put your defenses back up. It often happens when we let our insecurities tell us, we’re not good enough and feel afraid that if other people saw us for who we really were they’d reject us.

#6 Gnossienne:

Similar to Sonder is Gnossienne. Which is the feeling you get when you realize that you don’t actually know someone as well as you thought you did. It’s the realization that even your closest family and friends have a part of themselves that they hide from everyone else. A secret inner world that only they will ever know.
