Emotional Tofu

(noun): Similar to the food product Tofu which generates no original flavor but absorbs flavor from surrounding products, Emotional Tofu is a person with no actual experience in a topic but knows, or knows of, someone who has experience in a cause, so they absorb their emotion as their own.

Seen mostly in white, middle/upper class, priveledged, Social Justice Warriors when they're trying to justify their political views. Typically identified by using sentences that start with "I have a friend who.."

Veteran: Yeah I think the inroads made in Iraq post-exit in 2011 have had mostly long term benefits for the region despite setbacks with ISIL's rise

Emotional Tofu: No it isn't! No! You don't understand. I have friend. He was in Iraq. He caught PTSD and that's why universal health insurance and stronger gun control because fuck you Trump!

synchronized emoting

When a large group of people have the same reactions (to a sporting event, horror movie, cute cat video) at the exact same time without advanced planning.

"I have no idea what they were watching on her laptop, but their synchronized emoting told me that it was gross from all the gasps and 'ew's I heard."

Emotional Sherpa

Someone who is only a means to keep you emotionally/romantically stimulated until you find who you really want/are meant to be with. They are easy to become infatuated with and almost as easy to leave. They often set a standard of how you want and should be treated but you won't stay with them, they are just a guide.

Everyone thinks I'm just going through relationships for giggles and shits but truth is all I'm doing is being everyone's Emotional Sherpa...

emotional algorithm

Your emotional algorithm, is a subconscious selection process that is choosing the wrong the person for you. You overlook the red flags because are so familiar that they feel like home. Possibly the same red flags as one of your parents.

Me sobbing during a break up - Gawd! I can't believe I ended up with another prick who treats me like garbage! My emotional algorithm must be broken. What is wrong with me?
