Algoscopophobia

Share definition Flag
"Algoscopohobia" is a new phobia that I came up with. It means "the fear of watching someone in pain/getting tortured". I believe a lot of people have this fear. What makes it different than algophobia is that watching someone in pain can feel worse than feeling the pain yourself. In addition to that, this phobia specifcally refers to someone in physical pain, not someone in sorrow. The person who has this phobia can feel dizzy or nauseous when watching or looking at someone in pain, but even worse, when they empathize too much, they might faint or feel the need to lie down and close their eyes.
I have severe algoscopophobia. I once passed out when I was watching a horror movie.

Striver 

Share definition Flag
The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
