Band Room Stockholm Syndrome will cause you to become friends with anyone you sit near in an ensemble, no matter how much you loathe them. This may be applicable to other classes.

It is the condition in which one will complain about social media sites while continuing to use them pretty heavily. The most common social media site to inspire the condition is Facebook.
J: I hate facebook. I hate how it's just a government-spying-corporate-datamining-social-manipulation tool.
Q: Well, then why do you keep checking your news feed, J?

J: Sigh.

Stockholm Syndrome

Share definition
You might know it as the popular song by One Direction but it is a real syndrome.
Stockholm syndrome is a syndrome that is gained during being kidnapped. You begin to gain positive feelings for that person usually of the opposite sex. The main reason for obtaining Stockholm Syndrome is the kidnapper telling the captor that they will no kill them or if they feed them on a regular basis.

The captor begins to feel grateful and think of them as a good person or even start to gain feelings for their kidnapper not wanting to be rescued.

When they are rescued they talk about their captor as good or even loving person.
Belle from 'Beauty and The Beast' is said to have Stockholm Syndrome.

person 1, "Look at that girl on the TV, she just got rescued from that awful man."
person 2, "Whats's she saying?"
person 1, "That he was a great person. But he kidnapped her!"

A Nigerian variation of the bog-standard Stockholm syndrome. A condition simple to explain but difficult to understand.

Characteristics:
You worship the person who steals from you and berate those who try to expose the robbers.

Further Explanation:
(1) "We would rather kill the mouse in the house, than the cobra lurking in the corner" - Source KO

(2) "Even AFTER the mouse has been chased out of the house, they will continue beating it. Meanwhile the cobra would be making a comfortable nest in their house and inviting its friends over" - Source VA
Usage/practice of The 9ja-Stockholm syndrome:
A hungry man steals a politician's mobile phone and he is sentenced to 45 years hard labour; a crooked politician steal billions and he is let off with a slap on the wrist, given national honours and invited back into the corridors of power.

Politicians who steal billions are lauded by crowds lining the street while young men who steal a few pennies to feed their hungry families are lynched and/or burnt alive.

When someone is in a parasocial/one-sided relationship with a famous person (typically a celebrity or online personality).. and this famous person happens to exhibit toxic, abusive, or inappropriate behavior. The fan ignores their distasteful behavior and continues to support them.

Alternatively, maybe the fan is aware of what they're doing.. but they feel stuck in this one-sided relationship and it's hard for them to escape because of how attached they are.
I'm really into this guy.. but he also creeps me out sometimes. I feel like.. if I ever found out that he's actually a bad person that has done bad things, it would be really hard for me to detach myself from him.

The weirdest part? I don't even know him personally! He's a YouTuber. So why do I feel this way? It's like some form of.. parasocial stockholm syndrome that I'm experiencing or something. That's the only way I can describe it.
