When someone has lived for so long in a small town that they form a sense of entitlement to themselves and act as if there isn't a relevant world outside of their town.
Someone with small-town syndrome usually is majorly concerned with gossip and events only happening with people in their town and let their life revolve around such meaningless rumors. They act as if life is high school. Parents/Adults and children all engage in cliquey behavior.
People with small-town syndrome usually don't realise they act this way, and may be insulted if pointed out.
People with small-town syndrome may have lots of trouble adjusting to life in the real world (wherever they move to out of the comfort of their family/friends also from same town)

Jeff and Jenny are all about meeting at the local café, (the only one in our town, so it is THE place to hang out and gossip), but the problem with the café is that no one seems to be able to talk about any current events in the world, they all seem to have small-town syndrome.

Irritable Male Syndrome (IMS) is the male equivalent of the female hormone change during menstruation. Believe it or not but men's hormones change every month too, this results in mood swings similar to those women experience. Luckily it doesn't cause men to bleed through their pecker.

Wanting so desperately for the lead actress of a drama to end up with the better guy, but you always know that she is going to end up with the lead bad guy in the end. Usually goes with the feelings of either wanting to curl up and cry over your ramen, knock someone's teeth in or both.
Me: In the drama "You're Beautiful" park shin-hye should end up with jung yong-hwa instead of jang keun-suk. Friend: Oh you definitely have second lead syndrome

Lavender Unicorn Syndrome occurs when, instead of using a characters name or a pronoun, you repeatedly use other descriptors for them, such as "the baker," "the ninja," "the dragon."
Common in Fan Fictions, the term spawned from the Friendship is Magic /fic/ board where writers would refer to Twilight Sparkle as "lavender unicorn" rather than using her name to describe when she was doing something.

"As Twilight Sparkle walked into the room, the lavender unicorn lifted the book from her shelf with a wave of her horn."
That's Lavender Unicorn syndrome right there. We have pronouns for a reason, people.

When you watch fairy tail and notice that everyone in the guild is so nice and friendly to each other, leaving you depressed and questioning whether or not you have any real friends.
I'm getting a serious case of fairy tail syndrome because of the powerful themes of friendship in that show.

Ryan Gosling Syndrome is a disease that 14 year old boys contract after watching the hit movies Barbie, Drive, and Blade Runner 2049. It causes them to believe that they are “literally Ryan gosling” and whenever they see Ryan Gosling they have to point out that it’s them or they will spontaneously combust.
Boy 1: Did you hear Ben and Raf contracted Ryan Gosling Syndrome?
Boy 2: Yeah, I believe they saw the movie Barbie and now they both think they are Ryan Gosling.
