That feeling of being on the MRT at 7 AM on a Monday. It's the traffic on EDSA during rush hour. It's trying to wear your pre-pandemic jeans. It's also that "pagsisikip ng dibdib" (chest tightness) when you're anxious or seeing someone you miss. It's the state of having no personal space.
From `pag-` (gerund affix) + `si-` (syllable reduplication) + `sikip` (root).
Can refer to physical space (crowdedness), clothing (tightness), or a physical sensation in the body (e.g., in the chest).
