When someone around the age of 12-15 get engrossed into one topic such as a TV show or video game, and believes they are a part of it in the form of a Character or possessing the powers from the show or video game. In other cases, influences from shows or video games may not even be a cause.
Surprisingly, this is a quite serious phenomenon that happens in real life, and not just something that appears in the show “Chuunibyou Demo Koi Ga Shitai” as where it is most commonly known.
Symptoms may range from full-on costume wearing with quotes used within their everyday conversations, from acting completely normal with only them believing in themselves having some sort of power.
A common example of a subtle version of this syndrome would be kids having thoughts such as “I’m smarter than anyone” or “No one can
understand my thoughts, It’s too
complicated”.
