An affliction that causes people to say things to people over the distance of an Internet connection that, if they ever DARED to say to a person in a face-to-face conversation, would likely result in them getting knocked on their ass and maybe a trip to the hospital, but behind the safety of their monitor where nobody can physically touch them, they can behave like complete and utter shitbirds with no consequences, because as we all know, the Internet isn't real, of course, and the person you're mouthing off to isn't a real human being, with emotions of their own.
It is closely related to the similar affliction that causes people to become total sociopaths when behind the wheel of a car, where they are similarly safe from physical retribution.

If the technology were invented tomorrow to make it possible to punch a person in the face over TCP/IP, Internet Badass Syndrome would vanish almost overnight, and the Internet would be the most civil, polite place ever.

The feeling of wearing a watch despite not actually wearing it, this can come from being used to wearing watches. Not harmful in the slightest, just weird.
Ayo I feel something on my wrist?
There’s nothing there.
Ah, Phantom Watch Syndrome.
Jimmy I told you to stop using retarded definitions on urban dictionary.

When someone so desperately believes everyone hates them, and is constantly in a fit of denial over love for themselves, that they push their friends away. The worst kind of self-esteem.
Child: “This person literally took a bullet for me; but I still think that they hate me deep down.”
Mother: “Help doctor please, he is convinced the world is against him and believes he is hated by everyone.”
Doctor: “I’m sorry ma’am, but he has Cluver Atreides Syndrome. It is very hard to cure, nearly impossible!”
