Post-Apocalyptic empathy

When a person who has lived through a great number of hardships in life shows the appropriate amount of baseline empathy, but the empathetic expression is couched in a level of practicality, survival and utilitarianism.

Jean-Claude Van Damme did a great job at conveying post-apocalyptic empathy in the 1989 movie Cyborg. There are small moments where he conveys great emotional responses in only split second intervals because he's mostly having to continue kicking ass.

Post-traumatic togetherness

The unity and love people have for individuals and groups that they may not have had without a shared tragedy. The drama and adversity bring unlikely groups together. Conservatives suddenly love liberals and vice versa, straight people love LGBT people, white people love black people and Latinos etc. mass shooting, terrorism, mass casualty, tragedy, trauma, death, gun, killings, law enforcement, first responders

The post-traumatic togetherness after the shooting was amazing. The love people showed each other gave me faith in humanity.

Post-closet Euphoria

A state of extreme and seemingly random happiness, excitement, and relief experienced after coming out as trans, gay, bi, pan, etc.

-Please note this is not an official term or anything, I made the phrase up to help explain to myself why I'm feeling this way. The experience is not made up, only the name for it.-

"Man, I've been feeling weirdly happy ever since I came out to my family"
"You must be having post-closet euphoria!"
