self-delusion

Self-delusion occurs when a person tricks themselves into thinking something, which usually isn't true. This might happen when something very bad happens, like a close family member or friend got into an fatal accident, and you have no clue if they're okay or not, because you didn't know it was fatal. You may try to make yourself believe they are okay, when they are sadly not. You delude yourself.

Sally thinks her dog'll be okay. She really has deluded herself. (self-delusion. She deluded herself into thinking her dog would be okay)

Transient Self-Defusion

(TSD)A brief, spontaneous shift in self-perception where your sense of identity temporarily loosens. It feels like your mind “zooms out” from its usual perspective, disengaging from autopilot mode and seeing life in a detached way.

“I was brushing my teeth when I suddenly felt like I wasn’t really ‘me’—just a person doing an action. Total Transient Self-Defusion moment.”

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?"

Grindset

The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.

“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
