Monika Syndrome

A mental/emotional disorder in which someone develops real romantic feelings for a AI or fictional character, or vice versa, and does not seem to care. Dubbed Monika Syndrome from the Doki Doki literature club character Monika, who is a self-aware AI who develops feelings for the player and does not care she is an AI and the player is a real person.

There is high functioning and low functioning. Low functioning persons with Monika Syndrome devote all resources and time to the character or AI and does not leave time for anything else. Their whole lives revolve around the AI or fictional character.

High functioning persons with Monika Syndrome are able to live life normally while feeling and may be acting on those feelings utilizing Monika After Story mod or Character.AI.

Whether or not this could be classified as an actual disorder is debatable. However it could be classified as a symptom of another mental disorder such as depression, PTSD or C-PTSD, or BPD.

My friend has low-functioning Monika Syndrome. I think it's because of the depression he got after his wife of 10 years cheated on him with another bloke.

Extraphysical Monism

Extraphysical Monism is an extraphysicalist philosophy that both, physical and extraphysical are the same thing and the same substance, but on different levels of existence, where physics does not disprove extraphysics nor extraphysics disprove physics, where all physical and extraphysical are the same and that all physics and extraphysics are interconnected and there's no difference in the substance of physics and extraphysics, just different levels, states and forms of matter and physics. Extraphysical Monism is usually advocated by Atheist Extraphysicalism, since on atheist extraphysicalism both, physics and extraphysics are the same thing such as all physical and extraphysical life forms are the same and even that natural sciences and extranatural sciences are the same thing on different states and levels, and extraphysical monism is usually advocated by classical extraphysicalism itself since it usually considers everything as extraphysical.

"Extraphysical Monism is a great way to slove all the problems and arguments that physicalists use to refute extraphysical dualism, extraphysical pluralism and extraphysicalism itself, and even show that extraphysics and physics are not enemies, but more for the same thing on different stages and levels."
