Chicken Little Syndrome

Every time someone believes the hype behind an apocalyptic theory that will end the world, and the hysteria that ensues. It is an old cumulative tale about a chicken (or a hare in an early version) who believes the world is coming to an end. The phrase "The sky is falling" has passed into the English language as a common idiom indicating a hysterical or mistaken belief that disaster is imminent.

Good Will Hunting Syndrome

Condition in which a person believes life is a big coming-of-age drama starring them, and the rest of the people in the world are either supporting characters or extras. They are obsessed with figuring themselves out: Why is my life so hard? When will I be happy? Why can't I get what I want? What's wrong with me? Who will finally tame my wild spirit and get me to settle down? Life, to them, is a quest to answer these questions, and it should be everybody else's quest too.
All he does is talk about himself. He definitely has Good Will Hunting syndrome.
