Flichtish

Flichtish

adj.
nervously aware how much of your self-image is based on untested assumptions about yourself—only ever guessing how you’d react to a violent threat, a sudden windfall, a huge responsibility, or being told to do something you knew was wrong.

North Frisian flicht, maybe. Pronounced “flik-tish.”
