The curiosity about the impact you've had on the lives of people you know wondering which of your harmless actions or long-forgotten words might have altered the plot of their stories in ways that you'll never get to see. Coined by John Koenig as part of his online project Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, where he invents words for emotions that don’t have a name.
