Incidences 

Incidences is a hybrid word (instances and incidents) that attempts to add importance and intellectual heft to a person's otherwise dull pronouncement. You hear this word all the time especially on newscasts where the host tries to sound important by using a bigger word than necessary.
" The incidences of credit card theft have risen dramatically since the influx of immigrants from Upper Freedonia have entered the neighborhood once know as Little Albania."

Invidiance 

A feeling of hopelessness, dread, insecurity, envy and hatred felt when you see a lifestyle you know you will never live, a beautiful girl you know would never look your way, or an attractive person you know you will never look like.

Different from envy in the sense that invidiance is accompanied by an overwhelming wave of depression and self hatred and usually physically manifests as your stomach turning or aching.
“When I see her walking with that guy who is significantly more attractive than me, I feel a sense of invidiance. I feel sick, sad and hateful towards myself and others.”

infinince 

Infinite in its noun form:
A word for when you’d like to apply infinity to an object, subject, concept, or thing.
“The infinince of it all seems a bit overwhelming, doesn’t it?“

“Nothingness just has a sort of infinince to it, but if it’s truly nothing, then it’s paradoxically always something!”

“The infinince of scale in the universe hurts my brain, how can something be so small, yet another thing be trillions of trillions of times bigger?”
