Delete Syndrome

A psychological tendency to impulsively delete messages, posts, or creative work shortly after writing or sharing them, usually driven by overthinking, anxiety, or fear of being judged.

People experiencing Delete Syndrome often second-guess their own voice, fearing their words are “too much” or “not enough,” even when they come from the heart.

Delete

'Delete' can have several different meanings and is very context dependent, here are just a few examples:

When you have demolished your food - deleted
When you have completed a task - deleted (a film/degree/project)

When your friend has scored/died in the club - deleted

WHAT TAKES THE CENTRE STAGE: TO DOWN A DRINK
Example:
A: Hey James, is that beer you have in your hand!?
J: Yeah Austin, a beautiful pils it is
A: Delete it!

J: *look of disdain in his eyes, but also respect - proceeds to drink beer in one go*
