Sonder means the realization that everyone around you has a life as complex and vivid as your own. It’s a feeling of understanding that each person you encounter has their own thoughts, feelings, and experiences, just like you. This internet slang term reflects the idea of acknowledging and appreciating the depth and individuality of others.
Examples:
1. Walking through a crowded city, I pause for a moment and embrace sonder, realizing that every person I pass has their own unique story unfolding.
2. While scrolling through social media, I often experience sonder as I see snippets of people’s lives, reminded that behind each post lies a person with their own joys, struggles, and dreams.
