Pierriotligmatiton
The state of feeling deeply sad, melancholic, or exhausted on the inside while being forced to put on a happy face and perform for others on the outside. Named after Pierrot, the tragic, silent clown, it describes the emotional strain of locking your true feelings behind a metaphorical mask just to get through a social situation.
After a brutal week at work, Sarah experienced severe pierriotligmatiton at the family dinner, smiling and nodding while feeling completely drained inside.
