dolonia n. a state of unease prompted by people who seem to like you too much, which makes you wonder if they must have you confused with someone else—someone flawless, selfless, or easy to understand from a distance—feeling vaguely disappointed that they’re unwilling to spend the time it takes getting to know the real you. Ancient Greek εἴδωλον (eídōlon), a phantom image of an ideal form. Pronounced “duh-loh-nee-uh.”
