    The specific feeling of wanting to be anywhere but here, but not dying. I want to stop existing, but dying is too much. I want to be nothing. To evaporate. Idk how to explain it.

      I quite of have the same feeling…

      It’d be something close to “self-nihilification” and “ego dissolution”, except the thing you’re describing is the feeling itself, to which I’d coin the words “egonihiliphily” (fondness/love towards the own nihilification) or “egonihilipathy” (pathos after one’s own nihilification).

      Latin and Greek words make interesting jigsaw pieces oftentimes. (Also, I wonder if there’s a German sehrlangeszusammengesetzteswort too, as I often hear “there’s always a German word for it”)
