Exulansis
n. the tendency to give up trying to talk about an experience because people are unable to relate to it—whether through envy or pity or simple foreignness—which allows it to drift away from the rest of your life story, until the memory itself feels out of place, almost mythical, wandering restlessly in the fog, no longer even looking for a place to land. -John Koenig

*WARNING - THIS ART PIECE TALKS ABOUT AND DISPLAYS A SENSITIVE TOPIC. I AM IN NO WAY ENCOURAGING IT, ONLY RAISING AWARENESS FOR THOSE WHO MAY BE SUFFERING FROM IT.*

This word resonated with me on so many levels and will with many others who learn it. The inability to share hardships and traumas you've experienced because no one else knows what you're going through can be and is torturous.
You're psychologically alone in that sense, with no way of expressing it to anyone, which will eventually be too much to contain.
