Wondering if there's a term or phrase, in any language (c'mon, German) for that feeling of... when you're expecting a letdown, bad thing or disappointment, but you're almost looking forward to the wallowing in self-pity you'll do as a result.
Like.. "I bet no one will remember my birthday, and I'll be all lonely, and later they'll remember it and feel guilty, poor me" or "I hope this relationship is great, but I bet this person is going to be a jerk like all the others, and I can go home and cry and eat ice cream and not have to try for a second date."
.... or am I the only one who thinks like this? |
