The Mark Effect

The Mark Effect (n.)
The psychological phenomenon in which an individual with little to no offline grounding begins to place disproportionate importance on online achievements, perceiving them as markers of superiority. Over time, this distorted valuation erodes their sense of reality, leading to an inability to distinguish between their digital persona and their real-life self.
X- Wow I'm ultimate champion in X(video game) you're so !&$#@#% bad compared to me, I also have so much more money and talent then you will EVER have.... You are useless... I'm also going to stalk and harass you till the end of times and nothing bad will happen to me because of it

Kidney Bean Effect

A phenomenon where a person who is merely mildly annoyed is actually more dangerous and/or irritable than when they are extremely pissed off.
The Kidney Bean Effect is named for kidney beans, which must be cooked on high heat to make them safe to eat. Cooking them on low heat, on the other hand, makes them even more harmful for human consumption.

Rubber band effect

The emotional snapback move where someone pulls away—ghosting, going cold, or claiming they “need space”—only to return later with affection, apologies, or renewed interest. It’s like watching someone stretch a rubber band to its breaking point… then letting it fly back and sting you in the heart.
“I was finally healing, then she called crying and I got pulled right back in. Rubber band effect, every time.

The Meghan Effect

Meghan Markle borrowed & modeled low inventory fashions and out of season designer clothing. Her "friends" purchased the remaining stock therefore causing the scarce inventory to quickly "sell out" which created The Meghan Effect.
