Gatsby

Someone who is charismatic but is friends with no one.

These type of people seem to be able to charm themselves out of everything, and attract everyone, will joke around, laugh, and leave as soon as they lose interest.

No amount of time you spend with a gatsby will the person ever consider you a friend.
look at how popular that guy is, he's so talkative that he's befriending eveyone.

Don't let that fool you, he's a Gatsby, none of those people will be his friend at the end of day.

Gatsby-ing

When you post something on a social media site, with the only intention, that your crush will notice and like it.
Stop Gatsby-ing so much! You only put that pic on Instagram, because you hoped your crush would see it!

1. Posting something hoping your crush will see is an example of gatsby syndrome, you got this!

2. Liking a post about how the "love of your life" hurt you is also Gatsby Syndrome, you tell them bestie 💞
