Do you know why? Because you can’t control when you fall for someone, whether they’re far or close if what you feel is real and genuine, then I believe two people can make it past the distance, they will find ways to make their relationship work and no matter how far two people are, they will always be in the other person’s heart and mind because that person is the only one that makes them happy. I personally think falling asleep on the phone or webcam is cute though, it’s nice hearing their voice in the morning and seeing them happy just by seeing you, you know? If I were in a long distance relationship I would do my best to show the other person that I care about them, whether it’s sending them a good morning text or just calling them to let them know that I miss them, sometimes it’s these little things that people don’t realize that matter, notice everything that they do for you and appreciate it, take a little time out of your day to see each other or talk to each other, ask them how their day is going. Plus a long distance relationship allows two people to build a stronger bond through communication and it allows them to take the time to understand one another because they can’t see each other physically, you know? As time goes on, if communication, trust, and honesty are prevalent in the relationship then I believe that the relationship will prosper and continue to grow. Remember, when you both get to actually see each other the moments that you two get to spend together are cherished and etched into your memories and hearts for all time. I know it may be difficult at times, but believe in each other and don’t give up no matter what to show the other person that they’re worth the distance. I promise that it will all be worth it in the end.

1. Alice in Wonderland Syndrome

Unlike the namesake of this disorder, sufferers of Alice in Wonderland Syndrome perceive their body parts and other objects in altered sizes even if they don’t consume weird things with “Drink Me!” or “Eat Me!” on their labels. :P AIWS is commonly associated with migraines, brain tumors, use of psychoactive drugs, and signs of epilepsy and mononucleosis. This is also called Todd’s Syndrome.

2.Rapunzel Syndrome 

This syndrome is named after the fairy tale princess with beautiful and astonishingly long hair in one of Brothers Grimm’s bedtime stories. The Rapunzel Syndrome is a rare intestinal condition in humans resulting from tricophagia, or the abnormal urge to eat one’s hair. This diagnosis is medically referred to as trichobezoar. In ancient times, the hair found in intestinal tracks are believed to be an elixir of some sort, able to cure lots of diseases.

3. Cinderella Syndrome

Named after the main character in one of Charles Perrault’s fairy tales, this syndrome refers to the common phenomenon in kids where they make exaggerated stories about how they are abused, mistreated, or neglected by adoptive/step-parents. This is different from ‘Cinderella Complex’, which is said to be women’s fear of independence and an unconscious desire to be taken care of by ‘stronger’ others (like metaphorical Fairy God moms or Princes Charming).

4. Peter Pan Syndrome

“I don’t want to grow up!” says J.M. Barrie’s popular character from Neverland. According to pop-psychology, sufferers of Peter Pan Syndrome are adults who are socially immature. They tend to avoid responsibilities and often feel the need to be mothered.

5. Dorian Gray Syndrome

This syndrome is named after the handsome main character of Oscar Wilde’s book The Picture of Dorian Gray who sells his soul so that his portrait will age instead of himself. Sufferers of DGS are characterized by an excessive preoccupation with their physical appearances and youth, thus having problems in terms of coping with aging. Often, people with DGS have narcissistic traits and are heavily reliant on cosmetic procedures and products.

6. Othello Syndrome

Sufferers of Othello syndrome, very much like the namesake of this disorder from one of Shakespeare’s works,  are characterized by intense and often delusional distrust of their partners. This syndrome is also called morbid jealousy and is often associated with alcoholism and sexual dysfunction. It can also be found in the context of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

7. Pollyanna Syndrome

Named after Eleanor Porter’s protagonist in her best-selling children’s book, Pollyanna Syndrome is the psychological phenomenon wherein a person becomes blindly or foolishly optimistic to a point that it’s almost delusional.

8. Emperor’s Clothes Syndrome

The Emperor’s Clothes Syndrome is more like a mentality than a disorder. It got its name from Hans Christian Andersen’s tale where no one in town—until the kid speaks—is pointing out that the Emperor is naked because no one wants to be called ‘stupid’ or ‘unfit’ for their positions. People who have ECS claim that they know something even if they don’t, in order to avoid being judged as stupid or intellectually inferior to others.

9. Mowgli Syndrome

This syndrome is named after the beloved main character of Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book, Mowgli. Mowgli is a boy who is raised by animals. Kids with this syndrome are said to have weak mental and/or physical traits, especially those who have suffered tremendous emotional stress due to parental neglect and abuse.

10. Huckleberry Finn Syndrome

This is named after one of Mark Twain’s boy characters that became darlings to the readers, Huck Finn. It’s a psychodynamic complex in which the obligations and responsibilities avoided as a child, eventuate into frequent job changes and absenteeism as an adult. The HFS may be a defense mechanism linked to parental rejection, low self-esteem and depression in an intelligent person.
