mean world syndrome noun [U]
UK /ˌmiːn.ˈwɜːld.sɪn.drəʊm/ US /ˌmiːn.ˈwɝːld.sɪn.droʊm/
a belief that the world is a more dangerous place than it actually is
Sarah Krongard and Mina Tsay-Vogel … published a paper examining whether people who view the most popular binge-watched shows see the world as meaner than it really is—a phenomenon known as “mean world syndrome.” This idea stems from a long-standing theory called cultivation, which proposes that watching television leads people to believe the real world is closely aligned to what they see on their screen.

super-feeler noun [C]
UK /ˈsuː.pə.ˌfiːləʳ/ US /ˈsuː.pɚ.ˌfiːlɚ/
someone who experiences their own emotions and those of other people very intensely
So what makes someone a super-feeler? According to Dr Z, super-feelers may be wired differently, with studies suggesting that they have an overactive amygdala, the “fire alarm” part of the brain that alerts us if a situation is perceived as threatening. But modern life can exacerbate things, particularly as it feels like we’ve never been busier, more tired or more stressed.

Thanks a lot, Cambridge Dictionary. It’s very instructive and educative, Good job. Great job.
If new words continuo to appear as they do nowaday, within ten years, dictionaries will grow so much that it will be impossible to retain so many in mind
Really do we need more words into the dictionary?, most, the very most, of the people use few words of the language in their entire life, no matter the language or the country; twenty or more words for one solely thing?, maybe forthy? Many words are in disuse many misunderstood, why more?. I beg your pardon for this sort of opinion but this is what I think.
