Dystoriadis-toh-ree-uh
n. A feeling of irrelevance from the broader forces of history; the sense that your life has no relationship to any great mission, no generational hardship, not even an enemy--feeling as harmless as a droplet skittering down a window, that could've just as easily taken part in a tidal wave.
Etymology
Latin dys-, bad + historia, history.
