Ex 3: an old person who thinks the 1950s were much better than the present day in every way & wishes to go back is wearing nostalgia goggles, forgetting that we had half the conveniences, technology, development, infrastructure, movies, etc we do today.

Old Russian: our motherland isnt what it used to be. I miss the Soviet Union & I think we should go back. Turn full communist again & take back the republics.
Normal Russian: I agree some things were better back then but take off the nostalgia goggles. We were like North Korea back then. This was a terrible place to live, we were just more unified & patriotic then.

A force almost as powerful as love. Nostalgia is what you feel when you look back at the good times in life. The times you remember when you were at either your highest point or at least a memorable point in your past. The deadly thing about nostalgia is that you always enjoy an event more after it's already happened than when it's happening.

Get the Nostalgia Bait mug.This is a specific definition I have created for something I have been studying for 2 years. I'm 14 years old and tell me what you think about this definition of this "disorder" I have made a name for. Thank you. -Sefinternal
Definition - A repeating factor of thoughts or memories of a specific action, occurrence or a result in a matter at hand that was either bad or good, but the good and bad thoughts result in a manner that feels as a beautiful moment no matter what but also gives the effect of being depressed. Many things can trigger this feeling; such as music or people you know. An odd occurrence of NRDD can also happen when you have the cold because of the last time you've had the cold. The biggest effect I have found is that music that oddly resembles nothing compared to older thoughts or occurrences of you hearing it before can also effect you deeply for reasons that are unknown, which I'm currently still studying upon.
