Falesia

The disquieting awareness that someones importance to you, may not match that or your importance to them. That your best friend may only think of you as a mate, that someone you barely know may think of you as a mentor, that someone you love unconditionally, may have one or two conditions.

A word created by author and poet John Coney

sometimes I get falesia when I think of my girlfriend, what if she doesnt love me unconditionally?

Fall off the grid

To (seemingly) disappear from the face of the earth
Disappear to a place one would be very unlikely to be found.

What happened to Tom? I haven't talked to him since ten years ago.

Last time I heard, he got caught up in a drug-related arrest. Somehow escaped from prison and was forced to fall off the grid, probably somewhere in the Amazon Rainforest living with them Natives by now.
