flickerlust

can be defined as a feeling of excitement or anticipation towards a movie, TV show, or other media, which quickly fades away over time, leaving the individual feeling disinterested or uninspired. It's the initial attraction followed by a lack of follow-through or lasting interest.

"I had such high hopes for that new Netflix series, but it turned out to be a case of flickerlust - I added it to my list, but every time I saw it, I felt less and less interested."

Flaker's High

The euphoric feeling of relief and liberation one gets after cancelling or flaking out on a commitment they were dreading, especially one made out of obligation, societal pressure, or to appease someone else.

Particularly experienced by introverts faced with social obligations, but can apply to anyone ditching something they're not vibing with. Like a runner's high, but for being a flake.

"Sarah was riding that flaker's high after she decided to Netflix and chill instead of going to that overcrowded music festival she got invited to."

"Dude, are you going to Mike's party tonight?"
"Nah, just flaked. Riding the flaker's high now and binging on ice cream."
