Anechosisan-uh-koh-sis

n. A state of exhaustion with continually being told what you want to hear, whether by marketers pandering to you or acquaintances afraid of causing offense; the longing for someone to have the heart to finally call you out on your bullshit, challenge your long-held assumptions, and push you to become a better person-- which would be a far deeper kindness than trying to live and let live.
