The phenomena where people act crazy and make faces when looking at a mirror. They will not make those faces otherwise and only they do it when they see themselves in reflective surfaces.
Some would feel a weird urge to do those faces when looking at a mirror. This is referenced in many movies and shows where the actor make funny faces looking at the bathroom mirror.

Man 1: You know, every time i look at myself in a mirror, i can't help but re-enact stupid scenes with exaggerated facial expressions
Man 2: Many do that, that's the mirror effect.
The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.

Someone who is addicted to obtaining money and building wealth. A money addict and fanatic. Breadheads often work more than one full-time job, and some even participate in illicit activities to "obtain the bread".
