Onnience is a word for trying to induce/force nostalgia/contemplation.
Christmas often leads to feelings of nostalgia. Can I listen to old music, telling old stories, baking certain things, etc.?
What is a term for “hypnosis” that I just can’t seem to find in google?
Sentimental:
Having, showing, or caused by an extravagant tenderness or sadness, often in an idealized way: “He had no sentimental illusions about poverty’s virtues ” (Sherill Tippins)
Is the ‘inducing or forcing
nostalgia’ that makes being sentimental into something syrupy, a negative?
