"Nietzsche syndrome", also known as "ubermensch syndrome", is a psychological problem where a person without the capacity and talent to create value in a societal structure relies upon exaggerated self-worth and delusions of grandeur to prove to themself that their lack of success is a direct result of them being an "ubermensch". Other symptoms of this syndrome include a sense of entitlement, internalized misogyny, racism towards the races deemed weak, and inability to control one's emotions resulting in aggressive outbursts. The afflicted refer to themself as "ubermensch", "overman" or "superman" and everyone else as "the herd". The afflicted also refer to themself as "alpha male" or sometimes "sigma male" as most of the afflicted are male. The person afflicted with this illness usually relies on social safety nets for their day-to-day needs and fending for themselves in the real world can prove to be challenging and depressing for them.
