To me, inconvenience sounds like costs in time or attention, rather than in status or feelings. But I can’t find a good word for tangential personal psychosocial costs. gpt-4 suggests vibes.
I share this intuition, particularly in writing. However, I think I can imagine it being said with a particular tone (a bit sarcastic, maybe?) that makes this a clearer connotation.
Yea, we don’t have many great options here. Have a choice between words with mediocre connotations and making up new terms.
The main thing to me is the concept. I see myself calling this “local/private benefit” in some cases, and “convenience or comfort” in others, but I’ll try to make it clear they’re referring to the same thing.
Hopefully if it’s a good idea, some common word will catch on, then we could consistently use that.

I’m not a native English speaker, though
