emotional object permanence

it's object permanence, but for emotions.

the most common example is of people who have attachment issues or disorders that have attachment-issue-like symptoms (e.g. BPD), where people feel like their friends or partner do not love them unless they are showed affection and are reassured constantly.

it could literally be anything else too, like not thinking your soul-bound enemy hates you during times they don't show you hate

Person 1: I feel like my best friend doesn't like me unless they talk with me and reassure me they're my best friend.
Person 2: They do like you, and consider you a best friend as well..You just have emotional object permanence because momma didn't give you much love as a child.

Emotional Slime

When someone projects their negative emotions or opinions on you, you may experience emotional sliming. This feeling is similar to having metaphorical slime sticking to your skin, and it's tough to remove. It's the opposite of things that are easily shrugged off or not taken too seriously. Emotional sliming can linger, be very uncomfortable, and not fun to deal with.

When my friend and I had a disagreement, she responded with negative and opinionated comments that made me feel like I was wearing her emotional slime.

Emotional Motion Sickness

When one experiences such a large sway of mood swings they feel as if they are getting motion sickness. I.e. going from happy to sad to conflicted to laughing in a matter of seconds repeatedly for an elongated about of time.

“I found out that my dog went missing, and I felt like I was getting emotional motion sickness.”

emote (i-ˈmōt )

intransitive verb : to give expression to emotion especially in chating. An "emote" is tool used in a chat forum that is a way of expressing a feeling or an action in text form. You start an emote by typing "/me" (without the quotation marks) in local chat or instant messaging forum. The host allows you to use a colon instead of ‘/me’, which is a technical way of saving your keystrokes. The colon that normally appears after your name in a chat doesn’t appear in the chat and is therefore describing your action, rather than showing the typed words that normally show that you are "speaking". It will present your feelings or actions in the third person.

Let's say you just told me a funny joke. I could type "hahahaha!", in which case an emote (i-ˈmōt ) in the chat window will look like this:

Username: hahahahaha!

Or, I could type the emote, "/me laughs!", in which case the chat window looks like this:

Username laughs!

Emotes can be fairly lengthy.

Example; We are at the beach and decide to go swimming.

Example:

Username strips of her top and pants, revealing all skin, and runs laughing into the ocean.
