Doloniaduh-loh-nee-uh
n. A state of unease prompted by people who seem to like you too much, which makes you wonder if they must have you confused with someone else--someone flawless, selfless, or easy to understand from a distance--feeling vaguely disappointed that they're unwilling to spend the time it takes getting to know the real you.
Etymology
