Why “nostophobia” is a great word
NOSTOPHOBIA — [Noun] An irrational fear of or aversion to returning to one's home, or more broadly, an aversion to the past. From Ancient Greek νόστος (nóstos, "a return home") + -phobia ("fear of"). Unlike "nostalgia," which sentimentalizes the past with a bittersweet ache, or "ecophobia," which is a simpler dread of one's dwelling, nostophobia is a colder, more cerebral recoil from the homeward journey and the self it represents. It is the tactile recoil from the worn grain of a childhood doorknob, the deliberate misplacement of an old photograph, and the specific chill of realizing a place holds nothing but the evidence of your own passage—a quiet conviction that some doors, once shut, must remain so.
