Popularity Complex

Someone who often expresses narcissistic traits and wants to have many friends just for the sake of looking popular. These friends mean very little to this person and are only there to give some form of benefit creating a very one-sided relationship. They are very arrogant and must be the center of attention.

complexity bias

Complexity bias is a cognitive bias where individuals tend to favor complex explanations, theories, or solutions over simpler ones, even when the simpler ones are more likely to be correct or effective. This preference often stems from the belief that complex ideas are more sophisticated, intelligent, or thorough.
Whenever I ask my friends for advice on a simple problem, they always dive into some wild complexity bias, making everything sound way more complicated than it needs to be!

Average Complex

When somebody believes that they’re just average despite evidence that proves otherwise. They don’t believe they’re worse than everyone like a person with an Inferiority Complex, nor do they think they’re better than everyone like a person with a Superiority Complex. Rather, they believe they’re just like the average person, even if they are better (or worse)

The Pretty Girl Complex

This complex involves a cognitive distortions around beauty, value and safety. Cognitive distortions are irrational thoughts that can influence one's feelings and behaviors. A belief that not being the prettiest girl by social comparison usually by definition of an ideal beauty standard, could lead to physical danger may be an example of "catastrophizing," where an individual unconsciously predicts that the worst possible outcome is likely to occur.
I struggle with The Pretty Girl Complex, so I haven't been going to parties because I can't emotionally regulate or have fun when I see other women getting more attention than me.

Wish Complex

Just wishing for something to happen everyday/everytime. But you don't want it to actually happen so you can carry on wishing. Even if the thing you want brings you happiness. You still put up with what you have still wishing for the better. Even if you have the opportunity to get said "wish". You'll do anything out of your power to avoid doing it.
