Word of the Week 7/22/18: Exulansis

From the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows (website run by/word created by John Koenig):
"(Exulansis is) the tendency to give up trying to talk about an experience because people are unable to relate to it—whether through envy or pity or simple foreignness—which allows it to drift away from the rest of your life story, until the memory itself feels out of place, almost mythical, wandering restlessly in the fog, no longer even looking for a place to land."
