Line 20: * One is the emotion or phenomenon of the reluctance itself * The other is the act of lingering or holding onto the current state out of defiance of the impending/inevitable transition This is a very familiar concept that everyone will ~~understand~~recognise, and it is strange to not have a particular word for it. One common example is [[linger]]ing in the shower because it is warm and pleasant, and the abrupt transition to the activity of drying oneself off and preparing for the day seems unpleasant. It is a much-noted trait of toddlers that they often dislike state change and will sometimes hold onto whatever they are doing to the point of throwing a tantrum, because they don't want it to stop and they don't want to move onto the next activity. ** One thing I have noticed in myself is a general reluctance to wake up or get out of bed, a general reluctance to go to school or work, a general reluctance to leave school or work, and a general reluctance to go to bed at night. In my years of self-observation, I've often pondered the lack of a term for this phenomenon.
