Porn Sickness 

A distorted view of the world due to an obsessive interest in pornography. A subset of internet addiction.

Coined by the r/pornfree community on reddit, porn sickness results from a hyper-imbalanced relationship with pornography. Bored by the lack of novelty in vanilla content, porn sick users seek out and become familiar with increasingly perverted porn fetishes online. Often they feel as if that there's little that can surprise them anymore.

This oversaturation leads to gradual detaching from society. What is considered normal, even in non-sexual social interactions, tends to fade from memory as the user spirals around his obsessive interest. These affected users tend to find themselves in a "porn focused state of mind" 24/7, left wondering what happened to the original sexual tastes that set them on their dark journey so long ago.

Porn Sickness usually has 3 main tells:
-Decreased enjoyment of pornography
-Increased escalation of said pornography
-A confusing separation from otherwise healthy relationships
Internet addiction is quickly becoming a talking point in today's society....but people are still discovering the symptoms of porn sickness.

Using online activity as a way to detach from real emotions is common in those with internet addiction, but the symptoms of using porn are especially detrimental and lead to porn sickness.

That dude’s such a pitpig, I have to wear deodorant to keep him at bay.

church hurt 

church hurt is where you experience a degree of distance, pain, or judgement from your church community. Essentially, you are just unable to “find your place”. This is prevalent in the Christian community, but can be extended to other religions.
Now that I am an adult I am beginning to heal from the church hurt that was inflicted on me as a child.

Huge. Surpassing normal expectations.
I was fishing with a Spinner Bait and a HONKIN pike came after it and hit it . Felt like a lawnmower running over a brick.

Stealthie 

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.
FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"

FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"
