The angel effect manifest itself in particular social situations, mostly during a discussion or an argument in which multiple
people are involved. Imagine you'
re having a heated discussion with a person (they'
re insulting you or something) and a friend steps in to defend your side. You, instead of thanking your friend, start to insult him back for no apparent reason. This is the angel effect.
Person 1: Yo bro how much
cream have you used in this pasta, it's awful.
Friend:
Nah, it's nice I enjoyed it
You (referring to the friend): shut up!! You can't even
cook.
Person 1: Guys I just witnessed the angel effect
