Tenna Complex
A psychological state observed in content creators, artists, animators, or writers who experience a sudden drop in validation from their immediate social circle. The individual previously enjoyed high praise and spotlight from friends and family, but as their work becomes familiar, the initial hype fades into normal, passive attention. This leaves the creator feeling "boring," obsolete, and starved for the audience engagement they used to receive.
Derived from the Deltarune character Tenna, symbolizing a once-hyped screen that has faded into background noise and static.

"Did you see Cosmo's latest animation? It barely got any replies in the group chat. Haven't you heard? Cosmo's losing her popularity—they say she's developing a Tenna Complex."
