monachopsis…. where did you find that word? lol thats the first I’ve ever heard of it but these definitely describe that feeling!
Kool word isn’t it? It’s origin comes with some pretty interesting facts.
So it is a Greek word. It comes from the words monos + opsis. ‘Monos’ means solitary, alone, or unique and ‘opsis’ refers to like or appearance. The joint meaning is “An underlying and unremitting sense of not really belonging.”
