Lately, I’ve been talking to friends about the uncomfortable feeling of having to do something that I rarely do, which involves the fear of failing. I have this distressing feeling every time I do my taxes and also a particular task at work.
I’ve said to these friends, “There must be a German word, like schadenfreude, that describes that particular feeling.”
Yesterday I searched for that word and found “unbehagen.”
.
I overcame my Unbehagen of accepting an AI overview like that by searching for an English word to describe the feeling.
.
I feel unbehagen, unease, discomfort, perturbation, apprehension, disinclination, and awkwardness whenever I prepare for a trip, because I don’t travel that often.
I also feel all those feelings whenever I adjust to a time change, like yesterday, or whenever we are trying to defend and preserve democracy in the USA, like now.
Do you experience unbehagen as you look at my images for today?
.
I’ve never searched for “unbehagen” on YouTube before, but I will overcome my unbehagen about that right now.
.
Thanks to Nina Hagen, cool cats everywhere, and all my awesome friends who help me deal with unbehagen, including YOU!
