The name given to a mental condition effecting young adults who feel the inclination to put on clothes back to front (not inside out) and walk around backwards. They may also repeat verbal expressions such as “I’m the backwards man” and “can you walk back as fast as I can” during this behaviour.

The condition is concerning and may result in personal injury if it remains untreated.

The individual should be kept away from mirrors.

The condition is believed to be caused by extreme periods of idleness or boredom.

Stereotypical analysis of men of shorter stature. Based on the fact that some shorter men act more aggressive to compensate for lack of height. Yet failing to realize not every short guy is like that. Some men are just aggressive whereas others need to be more assertive. (Peep this: No two people are exactly alike)
Ex.1
Guy:That one short guy in the group tried fighting the bouncer. No reason at all. He's got short man syndrome.

Guy2: Yeah I saw that, but that other short guy was just chill in', talking and dancing with women. He's got more confidence, doesn't seem to care about his height.
