Blur effect

A "blur effect" is a psychological state in which an individual experiences a distorted perception of reality, causing everything and everyone in their surroundings to appear hazy and indistinct. This condition is often marked by narcissistic and bipolar tendencies, as the person becomes detached from others, seemingly looking past everyone, and is primarily focused on their own emotions and desires, causing disruptions in their relationships and behaviors.
In the midst of the blur effect, the individual's world becomes a hazy and disconnected realm where everything and everyone appear indistinct, and they predominantly fixate on their own emotions and desires, exhibiting narcissistic and bipolar tendencies.

Person 1: “Yo, are you excited for the new Waterparks album?”
Person 2: “Nah, the Fueled By Ramen Effect got to them. The new stuff just doesn’t hit as hard.”

The Goy Effect

The Goy Effect is when a person(s) blindly tells you something about yourself that is not true. They use this as a winning argument to discredit what you had previously said.
John: Did you know that Jews are actually Satanists?
Jim: That wouldn't make since, Satanists do not push beliefs/proselytize. It is against our nature.
John: Come on, of course you push your beliefs. Nobody in their right mind would follow the Devil.
Jim: Obviously you are just stupid. Do your research next time.

Jim Later: *thinking* The Goy Effect really brings out the worst in people. Maybe they should do their research next time..
