You might know it as the popular song by One Direction but it is a real syndrome.
Stockholm syndrome is a syndrome that is gained during being kidnapped. You begin to gain
positive feelings for that person usually of the
opposite sex. The main reason for obtaining Stockholm Syndrome is the kidnapper telling the captor that they will no kill them or if they feed them on a regular basis.
The captor begins to feel grateful and think of them as
a good person or even start to gain feelings for their kidnapper not wanting to be rescued.
When they are rescued they talk about their captor as good or even loving person.
Belle from 'Beauty and The Beast' is said to have
Stockholm Syndrome.
