Kinchy

Kinchy

adj.
feeling guilty that you care about your own petty concerns more deeply than faraway cataclysms—that a family spat hurts more than a civil war, that a three-day fever hits you harder than climate change.

Japanese 近視 (kinshi), near-sightedness. A word just shy of kinship. Pronounced “kin-chee.”
