false nostalgia

Is a diversion of the normal nostalgia, but instead of being nostalgic about your own past its about something, someone o somewhere you never were to.

False nostalgia can be experienced mostly after seeing something you know if you saw as a child, you would have remembered for the rest of your life, but as far as you know you didnt. This makes you remember your past and what you actually did, combining your actual nostalgia for your past and the thing you are watching into false nostalgia without you realising.

some other person : probably false nostalgia

False optimist

Somebody that keeps trying to tell you it's all good between you and them (despite every indication to the contrary) or that you've forgiven and forgotten everything on their end, even though you're not forgiving or senile by nature.
The real cynics are the ones that seem to think everything is okay with everybody all the time, or that everything will be okay, so people shouldn't worry. That is false optimism, and people (a false optimist) who think that way are not good liars.

False optimist

People that are realistic about life might not make good liars either, but at least they don't put up a paper thin facade of being optimists where there is no good reason to be optimistic about something or someone.
A false optimist is the most negative kind of person around beneath the surface, but what's on the surface is everything to someone like that. What they have to show others for something is everything, even though it's phony.

false sympathy

When someone acts like they care about you and understands what you're going through when in reality, they don't really give a single fuck.
G1: Gurl, it's okay, I'm always here for you, okay?
G2: Thank you but I think I'll be fine.
G1: That's what I thought. Bye, bitch! Have fun with your boring life. *walks away*
G2: FUCK YOU! I KNOW IT'S ALL'S JUST FALSE SYMPATHY YOU PLASTIC BITCH!

false 11:11

It's when someone whose intention is to wish on 11:11 accidentally wishes too early or too late. Is usually accompanied by harsh consequences, such as having wishes denied. Similar to an epic fail.
Person 1: "I just made a wish, I hope it comes true!"
Person 2: "Dude, it's 11:09. That's a false 11:11."
Person 1: "What the fuck does that mean?"
Person 2: "It means that your wish ain't coming true. So in your case, sorry, but you still have syphilis."
Person 1: "Stop reading my diary."
