an idea that children get that if they arent perfect they arent worth it. they constantly compare themselves to famous children, i.e. shirley temple, and have a feeling of inadequacy when they dont measure up.

media-government-cynicism-complex

The unwitting or intentional partnership between corporate media and the government that works to saturate and bombard the citizenry with bad news and terror. The goal is to elevate the willful ignorance and acceptance of bad policy, divisive tactics, dehumanization or marginalized members of society and financial regulations that favour the wealthy.

The world is a beautiful place full of good people. If you ignorantly and blissfully consume the "media-government-cynicism-complex" of course you will feel like the world is going to hell in a hand basket. You are missing out and wasting opportunity.

When the individual componets of something are amazing, but they are not worth the sum of there combined parts.

inter-Electra complex

The desire of a wife to seduce her father-in-law. This brings her into conflict not with the son but with her mother-in-law.

The basis of conflict BETWEEN women.

The inter-electra complex implies that feminism cannot claim to uproot patriarchy because patriarchy is the only artifact one woman has to differentiate herself from another woman.

Teacher student complex

Someone having a teacher student complex doesn't make their opponents teachers, any more than having a David Goliath complex makes every one of the person with the complex's opponents Goliaths.

A teacher student complex is isolated to the person who has one, it's not everyone's problem.

Abusive writer complex

Not to be confused with an actual abusive writers who abuses people and stuff. Abusive writer complex is a term for when a writer continuously writes their characters in a way they abuse them. Such as giving them a lot of trauma, and more trauma. You can feel like a god with it but since the term God Complex doesn't really fit you have this instead.

"I don't have a god complex, i have an abusive writer complex where i just make all my characters experience hell and that makes me feel like I'm some kind of god." -Someone i found in a comment section

Alpha male complex

A male variation of a superiority complex in the form of an obsession with their supposed dominance hierarchy ranking, resulting in them being annoying, selfish, materialistic and egotistical, and generally acting like a stereotypical alpha male. It also goes under the names Alpha complex and Alpha male syndrome.

Examples of this behavior would include: Buying expensive cars or materials despite not really having the money, immense and annoying amounts of flexing, an abnormal obsession with hitting on women or staring at them, combing or getting haircuts typically associated with an "Alpha male".

(Take note that these people typically don't have that much money or success, but are under the belief that they are at the apex of human kind.)

Guy: Oh wow, Jaden you sure have an Alpha male complex don't you?
Jaden: What's wrong stupid bitch? Can't fuck as many women as me? HAHA beta cuck, go play some Fortnite and suck dick as I go drive in my 500k Shelby Mustang as I fuck your old high school crush and knock a baby in her.
Guy: But... You don't have that mu-
Jaden: SHUT IT BETA BITCH!
