Sonder (noun) is the profound, subtle realization that every random passerby you see is living a life as vivid, complex, and detailed as your own.
It is the sudden awareness that everyone around you—strangers in a coffee shop, drivers in passing cars, pedestrians on the street—is the central character of their own story. They have their own internal world: their own histories, routines, worries, triumphs, secrets, and networks of friends and family, in which you are merely a background extra passing by in the background of their day.
