lesbian sheep syndrome

The circumstance of two women being romantically and/or sexually attracted to each other, but neither acting upon it because they're waiting for the other to make the first move.

Yeah, I've noticed Heather and Cathy flirting with each other as well. It's been going on for months—I think they're victims of lesbian sheep syndrome.

Sorry Syndrome

This type of communication typically comes from individuals who are in the habit of making excuses for their actions. They know that they have a commitment they haven’t met, and, instead of facing the music, they choose to say “I’m sorry” to skirt the issue.

Examples

If you’ve not understood something.

If you brush against someone.

When you’re trying to settle an argument.

When you’re aware that you know better, but you would rather humour the opposite person.

When you are trying to be assertive about a situation.

When you know you have done something because there was a need for it.

When you know you are better educated than someone you are talking to.

Quotes
“I’m sorry I didn’t show up on time.”

“I’m sorry I didn’t call.”

“I’m sorry I didn’t get that done.”

“I’m sorry I didn’t clean my room.”

“I’m sorry I didn’t do my homework.”

“I’m sorry I wasn’t home on time.”

This boy or girl says sorry unconsciouly just like saying hello or good-bye, sorry, In fact, non-apologetic phrases like ‘excuse-me’ and even ‘please’ are being replaced by ‘sorry’. I thnk he/she has the case of the Sorry Syndrome

Jobholm Syndrome

A paradoxical psychological phenomenon in which an employee expresses empathy and has positive feelings towards their dead-end job or abusive employer, sometimes to the point of defending it or being reluctant to quit.

EMPLOYEE: “Six years ago, when nobody wanted to hire me, this place gave me a job. Now I’m having doubts about giving them my two weeks notice tomorrow.”
FRIEND: “Your company sucks and you’ve been wanting to leave them for three years.”
EMPLOYEE: “I know, but it’s really not THAT bad.”
FRIEND: “You’re suffering from Jobholm Syndrome. I promise your life will vastly improve when you don’t work for those people anymore.”
