mal de coucou
n. a phenomenon in which you have an active social life but very few intimates—people who you can trust, who you can be yourself with, who can help flush out the weird psychological toxins that tend to accumulate over time—which is a form of acute social malnutrition in which even if you devour an entire buffet of chitchat, you’ll still feel pangs of hunger.


I need an obscure word of sorrow that means "awake and ready to go to but the market and nursery and pond store are all still closed for hours".
