Imaginary Friend Effect

When a person seems invisible or unheard in group functions and only seems to be interacted with in one on one conversations.

In groups they are often ignored and their opinion is disregarded. Like a child's imaginary friend, they only seem to exist when no one else is around.

I feel like I only exist with one person. I must have the Imaginary Friend Effect.

Oswego Effect

The strange feeling SUNY Oswego students get after they leave college, when you miss the lake, the sunsets, and even the freezing wind you used to complain about.

It’s that mix of missing your friends, the campus, and the small-town life that somehow felt like home. The Oswego Effect hits when you realize you didn’t just go to school there, a part of you still lives there.

Ever since graduation, I’ve been missing Oswego like crazy. I think the Oswego Effect just kicked in.

Clubhouse Effect

The phenomenon wherein a piece of technology, in particular, an application is extremely popular initially due to hype, but quickly loses popularity and never regains its peak glory.

Threads is probably another example of the Clubhouse Effect.
