Your Definition
noun The act of voluntarily peering into someone’s brain-rotted inner monologue—usually via unfiltered posts, comments, or messages—and instantly regretting it. A state of cognitive secondhand embarrassment caused by witnessing raw, unserious, chronically online thought patterns in their natural habitat. Often triggered by doom-scrolling, reading comment sections “out of curiosity,” or clicking one profile too deep. Symptoms include: mental static, loss of faith in literacy, and the strong urge to close the app and stare at a wall.
