Palvex
The discomfort of receiving genuine care when you do not believe you deserve it. The specific flinch that appears when love arrives without an obvious price and your first instinct is to search for what is wrong with it.

He remembered the smallest things about her and never asked for anything in return. Instead of enjoying it, she kept waiting for the hidden condition to reveal itself. Why is he doing this? What does he want? How long until this changes? Nothing was wrong with his kindness. The problem was that genuine care felt suspicious. That is palvex.
Senvara
The performance of emotional recovery while still being entirely broken inside. What happens when healing becomes something you owe other people, forcing progress to become visible even when the actual recovery remains incomplete.

She started posting progress pictures because everyone had become uncomfortable with her sadness. Better days. Better habits. Better photographs. Eventually people stopped asking whether she was okay because the evidence looked convincing. She had learned how to perform recovery before she had actually recovered. That performance was senvara.
Draven
The exhaustion of maintaining a version of yourself that other people still believe in after you have already stopped believing in it yourself. Not ordinary burnout. The specific cost of performing an identity that has become familiar to everyone except the person still forced to inhabit it.

Everyone still loved the version of him he used to be. He still smiled the same way, told the same stories, played the same role, because changing would force everyone else to update their idea of him. Nobody noticed how exhausting the performance had become. Not burnout. Draven. The cost of being recognized as someone you no longer are.
Quelve
To mentally rehearse a conversation with someone who will never hear it. The act itself and the state it produces. It names an internal mechanism rather than a broad mood.
