rominate

(Possibly from 'aroma' and 'permeate', though this cannot be confirmed)

To waft and circulate throughout an area, in the manner of an obnoxious odor.

The pungent scent of cafeteria food rominated through the hallways like a malevolent spirit seeking victims.

Ruminate

Focusing on past events in your life, typically ones that didn't turn out the way you would've wanted, and reflecting on them relentlessly with a strong outlook of yourself feeling worthless and inadequate. Depression and anxiety usually follows.

A very common negative thought process after breakups.

Jim: "The definition provided by Jack didn't get very many likes. It didn't even get a whole lot of views for that matter. Now Jack ruminates in the event with thoughts of failure and poor self-image."

James: "Jack looks like he has a lot on his mind."
Jane: "His girlfriend just dumped him. It was simple incompatibility reasons."
James: "Ouch, but why is he taking it so hard? They were only dating for two months."
Jane: "Jack spends a lot of time inside his own head with negative self-talk." He ruminates too much instead of using this as an opportunity to grow and improve."
